3D Layered Paper Cutout Effect Underwater Illustration in Inkscape

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

In this Inkscape tutorial, you will learn how to create a layered paper cutout effect by creating an underwater illustration. I show how to achieve this effect using drop shadows in the filter menu.
I make things simple by showing how to trace using reference images for the fish, shark, and diver. I also show how to use tool tricks to get corral and seaweed designs easily. Finally, I show how to create a classic boat anchor using only simple shapes.
Perfect for beginners, one tool used in this tutorial is the bezier pen to draw the fish, shark, diver, and coral. I also use the calligraphy pen with special settings to achieve a seaweed look. These techniques translate to any other vector graphic platform like Adobe Illustrator and Affinity Designer.

    Still new to Inkscape sort of and tried this several different times but it never came out looking right. I have no idea what I am doing wrong. - Heidi Edit: Figured out why it looked wrong. I had it set to outer as you did in the video but I changed it to inner and it looked how I wanted. :)

    Wait what ... at 1:48 or so the shape drawn just appears within the two separate objects, how is this done?

    So, that shape isn't appearing it's just being "cut out" the rectangle background. To practice this, draw a rectangle any size. Use the pen tool and draw any random shape within that rectangle. Select both at the same and hit ( Ctrl - ) for the Path Difference function. When cutting out multiple shapes you need to make sure to combine them first ( Ctrl + ).

    Interesting, but not the best tutorial I've seen. If I hadn't already done something similar, I wouldn't have a clue. Are you in a hurry?

    Thanks for the critique. I didn't want to make a very long video as attention spans are so short these days.
