Create A Distressed Effect with Inkscape
In this tutorial I’ll be demonstrating how you can create a distressed effect with Inkscape. Once applied, the effect will make your subject look worn, gritty, and rough around the edges. To accomplish this, we’ll be using the Jitter Nodes extension and then applying a vector grunge texture. For this demonstration we’ll be applying the effect to some text, although this can work with any vector object you’d like, so don’t feel obliged to only use text.
You can download the scratch texture here: logosbynick.com/distressed-ef...

You should create your own brand of T-Shirts that just say "Path > Difference" on them.
Each time I hear that "In the Mood" sample I just have to smile and feel my personal mood lighten up a bit...

I love all of your videos Nick, keep up the good work and thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I discovered your channel, subbed and watched a lot of videos about GIMP since July of 2020 and man, you are a great tutor. Huge thanks for everything, I have learned so much things that now I use GIMP almost for anything, usually for personal amusement and hobbies like making texture mods for games etc. Take care:D
Nick I am so in love with you right now - I'd been trying and failing at grunge texture for sooo long - thank you so much for the free resources too you are a legend!!
You are by far the best instructor for this sofware! Thank you so much! You are appreciated for all your time & effort you put into these videos. I have learned a lot in a short time and looking forward to more. Again...THANK YOU!
Your tutorials are always so clear and concise. It’s not easy to do both of those things!
Stunning, quick and concise. Much appreciated.
Nick, you are the best inkscape teacher, your voice and explanations, are amazing, please vomit more content, Im just starting to do this, you are great inspiration, and everything Im watching from you lets me learn a ton, please continue doing more vids, 2 a week like before, its one for 2 weeks now, Ill keep doing more and mopre of your videos, its really awesome, keep going. And sincerely, thanks.
without a doubt, every time i need assistance with some kind of graphical program, Nick is the man to save me. Thank you time and time again my friend.

Excellent timing. I literally have to do this on Monday.
Awesome as usual thanks Nick.
Amazing tutorial, well explained.
You have great and excellent videos, thank you for always sharing.
Super clear and useful - thanks!
Looks dope, definitely trying this out!
Awesome tutorial. Thank you!
Love your videos Nick! Thank you so much. Its been really helpful to learn inkscape in the last few months. Im still learning, for the life of me I can get this done in inkscape version 1.1. I must have missed something!
This is an awesome tutorial! *Thumbs up*
Good job, thanks from Mexico :D
great as always!!!!!!!!!!
I've been wanting to do one of these for so long..thanks 😊
Really great! Thanks man!
Great vidsNick! I recently stopped using illustrator because I love Inkscape!
Right on time, just when I was looking for a brush like font 😆
Great video. Thanks for sharing
Yo thanks so much for the tutorial and textures. I’ve been trying to figure out how to add a transparent splatter like effect to tshirt designs to where you see the shirt color through the splatter and not white or black splatter. Like a transparent splatter and this helped tremendously. Again thank you and God bless.
Recently I purchased the Affinity Designer during their Black Friday Sales. However, I keep coming back to inkscape because there are so much more extension that is missing in AD. Inkscape is absolutely amazing and Nick's tutorial make it easy for everyone. Thank you for the tutorial.

I'm learning so much with your tutorials, thanks Nick! Quick question: is there a way to list the objects, path, etc. somewhere? Like you would with the layers in GIMP
Awesome!
Omg I just discovered dynamic offset after all these years!!
Amazing

Muchas gracias¡ Eres genial.
Thanks 👍✌
1st page! Great work Nick, thanks for all you do.
Thank you man, great as always. I think that in the spanish version would be this: Extensiones ---> Modificar trayecto --> Agitar nodos...
Absolutely loving your tutorials Nick! Would love to see one for creating a seamless topography pattern, thanks 😀
You can also: Extension > Modify Path > Add Nodes If you don't want to manually add nodes.
hello nick, is there a tutorial on how to draw symmetrical (mirror) with inkscape, I've searched but haven't found it. thank you good luck always!!!
This tut worked great, cheers! ... Question. I'm having trouble using this technique when I add a stroke to the text. I think the issue is that I can't get the two (text + stroke) to work together as one. Weird things happen. How do I group, or union, the two as one object?
Nick I had a quick question. How do you get Inkscape to run so smoothly? Every video I see (and even when I use it), the program is super choppy and slow. Are you changing a setting inside the program to use less memory or something?
Seriously? On my birthday? Can't be coincidental! LOL (Great choice of letters)
Hi, Nick! I wanna know how to use the filter editor. Do you know some youtube channel learning like you? I can't understand the way they learn.
Your tutorials are so easy to follow. I downloaded Inkscape and started creating logos because of you, keep up the great work. Can you do a tutorial on how to get a glitter effect on texts?
Hi Nick, I'm a fan of your works man. Can you make video about t-shirt design with Inkscape? can we do tshirt design with Inkscape? Thanks in advance
Do you think you could show how to do the lightning effect on props
Hi great tutorials as usual, on this case may I ask? Do we have to do the process letter by letter or can we apply the effect to a text in just one step process? Thanks in advance for any help. 👍👍

You can apply the same effect to any kind of object, be it single letters, words or a logo. If you have a text, don`t forget to turn it into a path first ("Path" - "Object to Path", then click "Ungroup"). Then continue as shown in the tutorial.

Hey nick, can you do interstellar objects like nebulas, blackhole, or galaxies in Inkscape 😅
I recently tried to apply a textured to a font but was unable to due to one image not being a path, that being the textured image I'm guessing. help or tips please.
There's actually an easier way to do this that I've done numerous times in any program that has a spray gun. All you have to do is create text & use the spray gun to remove the main color of the text with white. You only have to make sure that the spray dynamics are set to the proper flow.

Hi everyone, I have a problem with my Inkscape when I try to use my grafics tablet. The cursor is located much further above than it is shown, so when I try to draw, the object appears a few cm dislocated. Strange is, when I use the mouse, it works as it should. Does someone know how to fix this? Thanks in advance!
Do you have any Ink Stitch tutorials
I'm a little curious why you chose to only apply the texture to the inner area of the letter. Was it just an artistic choice, or was there a technical reason?

It converts it from a text object to a vector object that can be altered the same way you alter regular shapes and drawings made in Inkscape.
it would be fun to creat your own textures by splattering some paint on paper, scanning it and tracing the bitmap. unique texture guaranteed
Man need this tutorial for illustrator too!!!
How you do that on illustrator?

That's an overkill pc for Inkscape, so it's probably not your hardware's fault. What OS are you using? Are you using the most recent version of the program? In the Inkscape website you can download different versions of it, so you can try and see if that works for you

Hey, Nick! Sorry, this comment is not related to the video. I need a bit of expert help. I struggle a lot with uploading to Canva the svg created in Inkscape. They seem fussy and I'm a beginner. I always finish designs in Canva and would be great to be able to upload svg instead of png. Would you have any tips? Maybe there is something I'm doing wrong. So far, I didn't find a solution for this...
I followed you step. But note does not appear. Can you please tell why. I duplicated the letter. Changed the color of the letter. I simplify. I click dynamic offset. but note does not appear.

I have a question to anyone who may be able to help. In my inkscape, when I draw a circle or square, it is automatically drawing with cut outs in them. Stars and triangles no longer look like their original shape. I have no idea I did to it. Anyone has any tips to get it back to normal? Thanks 😊

I'm not sure if I understood your problem. I'm guessing you're saying that your circles aren't drawn completely, they appear like they have been "sliced", right? If that's so, when you select the circle tool and draw a circle, in the top toolbar, to the right of the number values, you can probably see four different icons: three slices and a solid circle. That's where you select what kind of circle you want to draw. The three first options are types of slices (which is probably what you're drawing) and the solid circle is the option to draw a complete circle. Select that option after you draw a slice, that will turn your slice into a complete circle. Hope this helps
Did you create Inkscape?
