Inkscape for Beginners: Vector Abstract Background Tutorial

Similar to my low poly portrait tutorial, only using a quicker method more suitable for this sort of design. This will also be an introduction for the Mesh Gradient tool.
This tutorial is for Inkscape version 0.92 and is intended to teach beginners how to use the software. Inkscape is a great free alternative to Illustrator and Corel Draw.

    8:56 after you colored the first triangle you can just use the "Tab" Key to toggle between the triangles so you don't need to switch the tools every time.

    Also, maybe it's just me but in general I find the alphabet shortcurs (like S: select, D:dropper) easier to work with than Fn. Of course in this case not switching tools is still the better solution.

    For those having trouble getting the wire frame using Voronoi diagram, select all the nodes (circles) and then use Object to Path before using the Extension --> Generate from path --> Voronoi diagram option. This worked for me. Saw a comment below that discussed this but it's buried way down in the comments, so hopefully repeating this tip in a more recent comment will make it easier to find.

    I FOUND THE SOLUTION. :) Might want to pin this, Nick, as I think it's a problem with newer versions of Inkscape. So, highlight all of your circles and hit Path>>Simplify. This will reduce your circle from 4 nodes to 2. Now, when you run your Voronoi Diagram extension it will work perfectly. I'll also include the current pinned comment here just to provide more helpful info in this comment: "after you colored the first triangle you can just use the "Tab" Key to toggle between the triangles so you don't need to switch the tools every time."

It's just enough to grab a circle and use the SPACE BAR to create copies of that. TLDR : Don't CTRL + D before you use SPACE BAR to create copies.

    Hey Nick! I would like to say that I absolutely love your tutorials so far 👍 Second thing is that I am using Inkscape version 1.1.1, and I followed every step only to land up having the triangulation design with too many weird lines and becoming oversized. The good thing is, I got it fixed (thanks to the Stack Exchange forum) by either converting the circles to paths and then adding in the design, or leaving the circles as it is and downsizing the design to the size of the rectangle with the mesh grid colours. Lastly, make sure to have no overlapping duplicate dots, and the dots along the edge of the rectangle should be random on every edge (number and spacing wise), not copied and pasted. Just wanted to leave this comment here in case anyone stumbles into a similar problem like this. Thank you again! 😄

    If you use the newer version of Inkscape, I think I found a way to achieve a similar goal. Apparently, the new Vonoroi diagram extension does not like when the dots that outline the square here are perfectly aligned. So the solution I came up with is placing the dots OUTSIDE the square manually. Then place random dots inside the square and perform the extension, as instructed in the video. You should be able to get neat triangles like in the video this way. When you are done with coloring in those triangles with the dropper, then delete the strokes and group all the triangles. Then draw a new square, in the same size as the meshed one. Select the square and the grouped triangles, Object->Clip->Set; you should now have something like th abstract background like the one made in the video, although among the colorful triangles there will be some squares (but I guess the average person won't care. right?)

    Hi Nick. . . another great tutorial. I tried another trick to make the lines disappear; instead of deleting the mesh image on layer 1, I copied the group on layer 2 and used the paste size to make the mesh gradient rectangle the same size. I then raised it to layer 2 and lowered it beneath the group and the lines disappeared. I exported it to png to make sure that would work as well. Thanks again for showing one of the new features of 92.

    I had problems with getting the triangles to work properly, as others mentioned in the comments. However, some of the tips others gave didn't work so here's what I tried (not sure if anyone else mentioned it but I didn't see it). I started over with the circles and when I made them I went around the border (clockwise) first then when I made the duplicates inside the box I made them close together as I moved around the box vs making them all over in more random spots. I thought that perhaps an internal layering order in the software might be trying to connect those that had been made (duplicated) close in order of when they were made and not relative to where they were physically. If that makes any sense. Well, that worked for me in any case. Thx!

    So this is for all who have problems with the Voronoi Diagram tool (including me): I just found a solution that needs a bit more time but works nevertheless. 1. You do everything until 4:04 (including the second layer). 2. On the second layer you now create all the different triangles you want to have MANUALLY. Sounds harder than it is. 3. When finished with creating the triangles you have to use the (I don't know what it's called in English) tool where you can choose a colour from any part of the picture (F7) and pick the colour that is in the middle of every single triangle. Press "Tab" to switch between the triangles. For example for one triangle you take the colour that is right in it's middle. For the other one you choose the colour that is in it's middle. Same with every other triangle. You can check if you coloured every triangle by making layer 1 invisible. 4. Your picture should look like the one in this tutorial (at least mine did). You're finished.

    It's beautiful work, and I really like your videos. Top quality stuff: classy, slick, great choice of subjects, and I'm learning a lot. Unfortunately I'm still brand new to Inkscape (and I only started on Gimp 4 months ago), so 'complicated, intuitive' things like your tool-choice, menu selections and mouse movements happen a bit too quickly for me to follow. I keep thinking 'Huh? What? Why did you need to -?' and by then you've moved on. Of course it will all seem obvious after a while - like developing muscle-memory for playing the violin - but at the moment I haven't quite reached the status of 'Beginner', so I'm having to watch each video in 5 second segments! Ah well; it's a good excuse to watch everything again. And again. And again... :-)

    Your tutorials are extremely helpful! However, when I make the Voronoi diagram, the lines are intersected and not well shaped as yours. I followed everything u did but I dunno why it happens :(

    I have only seen two of your videos and it has taught me so much about Inkscape! I am wondering though, how to do this with curved lines? I tried what you did in the low poly portrait, but when two lines overlap they don't make the same curve. Not sure if this makes sense.

    Gradient meshes are so useful, I wonder what's the holdup with integrating these into svg standard?

    Nice video Nick as always but just like many others I could not get the delaunay triangulation worked as it did for you. I found a solution myself after spending few hours. Instead of creating circles and duplicate 'em, I used the pen tool and clicked all the random places while pressing "Ctrl" while I clicked everywhere it gives me a circle ( this i think I learned it from your other video) and then selected everything and run the "Delaunay Triangulay" and it worked like a charm. NO OVERLAPPING NODES anymore. I would recommend all to use this method. I think the main problem is with the duplication.

    Thanks, this is the solution for the messy problem and probably the right way to do it anyway.

    I solved my issue with the messy lines! There was one "suspicious" dot, that attracted a lot of lines from afar so I deleted that dot and then the pattern was perfect triangles.

    Hi Nick: Thanks very much for the tutorial. Just wondering why the web I created fell out of the area and came up as a very big one (7:48) instead of connecting nicely between the circles? Thanks.

    It takes me a thousand tries to make a perfect pattern I dont know what Im doing wrong. I have to delete or add circles just so the borders would all connect and the inside would make nice triangles T^T

    @nick saporito The icon pack provided in the link in the description is lacking a few of the new icons in .92, namely the mesh gradient, measurement tool, create and edit meshes button, etc. Do you have a link to download your icon pack? It's different than the Tango BW one linked in the video on your blog. Much appreciated mate!!!

    Make sure Layer 1 is locked! (before selecting all the circles for triangulation) For duplicates, make the circles black with 50% opacity and check them against a white background (by simply clicking Layer 1 visibility off), it's really easy to tell if there's any duplicates that way. I assume the duplicate circles come when people press space bar on the last circle when they should just place the last one by letting go of it (release mouse button) instead of copying yet another one (space bar).

    Love this video and have used this concept in a number of ways. I figured out that you can alternate between the dropper tool and the selector tool just by hitting the letter D on the keyboard. That same letter will actually switch back and forth between the two. One issue that I keep having is that when I use the Voronoi Diagram, some of the lines are connecting to the same dot so it doesn't come out clean like in your video. I end up having to use the Bezier pen to draw them out individually. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Thanks and keep up the good work!
