If you want to learn more about how Inkscape works, I have a 50+ part video series where I explain all of the tools and features in Inkscape and demonstrate how they work. Here's the link if interested: logosbynick.com/inkscape/

Honestly, I made all my shapes, then filled in the colors, then selected the entire drawing and clicked the "x" to remove all the lines at once! Much simpler!!!!! Others, super cool tutorial, many thank yous. :)

I like how you actually say what you're doing for the shortcuts everytime you use them. A lot of people make "beginner" tutorials and zoom through them expecting a beginner to know all of the shortcuts already.

"... and it's repetitive... as I said." I see what you did there :)

Absolutely one of the best edits i've seen. There aren't any words to describe how beautiful this looked. Thank you for sharing!

Probably one of the most useful KZread videos I've watched. I designed all my video thumbnails using this method. Thanks Nick!

Thank you so much, I have been looking for what seems like forever to find a low-poly inkscape tutorial, thanks again! 😄

finally, a low poly tutorial !!!!, great work Nick, keep it up

i,ve found your chanel and i instantly fell in love with inkscape. God Bless you.

Thank you for showing us this cool technic. Also I just wanted to update you and thank you once again for the great tutorials for freelance, I managed to get a few jobs including building one website, and really liked doing it.

Awesome, congrats

As always, you've made another helpful and straight forward video. Thank you and keep up the good work!

Wanted to learn this for so long and finally! THANK YOU!

Absolutely brilliant! thanks a lot Nick. Just did an awesome Churchill photo and made a rookie error of not saving it before Inkscape decided to say no! Never mind it has truly opened my eyes as what can be done and the practice can't hurt. Buzzing with ideas now. 😎

This tutorial was SO helpful! Great clear instructions!

Watched this twice. Can't believe how easy you make it look! I've just downloaded Inkspace and hopefully I'll get my channel art sorted rather sharpish! Thank you :)

Oh I requested this last video and here it is : thanks a lot you are awesome!

your channel is amazing! I'm used to photoshop but wanted to start doing vector graphics and quickly got frustrated because inkscape is so unused . but your videos are great tutorials and with every one of your videos I am getting more confident at using the program! great work!

Literally the best Inkscape tutorials!!!!

These tutorials are gold, thank you!

Hey Nick, thank you for the last tip about how to fix the white gaps! That was exactly what i was looking for. Love your videos. Greetings :)

Wow! This was awesome. I was wondering how in the world it would come out and I was pleasantly surprised. Thanks for this!

Inkscape is amazing and you make it accessible. Thank you kind sir.

Dude. Thank you so much. All of your videos are extremely helpful.

I saw one of youre previous videos about the adobe alternatives so I downloaded inkscape so far youre videos are the best that I could find

Great videos! You really help me learn new techniques and improve my skills.

this is so helpful and the results are amazing xx

Super video Nick, thank you. Loved your rendition.

so glad you had the tutorials on how to change the theme on inkscape, the original is so outdated! lol. thanks for the great content, i will be revisiting your channel often!

I am currently doing a rather large project for a friend. This is an awesome tutorial and it helped me out a lot. Thank you.

Damn man I was looking so hard to figure out how to get rid of the white space and you saved me with the duplicate trick. I love you!

Another great video, Nick. Thank you!!

Thanks, I have been looking for this!

Your videos are awesome man! This is so helpful

hey Nick can you explain when to use layers, much appreciated . thank you for your tremendous effort to simplify the complex

prolly the most interesting tut so far!!!

Simply awesome!

*Claps endlessly* Awesome work.. the best on KZread!!

Great video... already updated my profile pic using the low poly portrait method. Thanks for sharing. I will have a look at your channel to see if there are more such pearls to be found.

Great tutorial. I only had some issues with the white in between, but I worked it out from one of you other videos.

Thank you very much, I will download this program right away!

Thanks for the tutorial. It helps me a lot!

Your videos are great. thanks for great explaination of every detail and usefull tips also.

Great work. Thanks!

I wondered many times why you Ctrl d before any operation and you kinda mentioned it in this video, you are the consumate instructor!!! I know why you Ctrl d now.

Thanks for the tutorial! BEST!

Watching this on the move but I remember seeing a setting somewhere for Inscape to remember the last setting used for any given tool so that it doesn't default back to initial every time you use it.

Thank you soo much Nick! This is really helpful. :)

Just started learning Inkscape yesterday and also found your channel yesterday. So happy I did. Some of the very best Inkscape tutorials on KZread! My only complaint is that your videos are just a little too quiet (slightly) because after watching one tutorial, I click on another of your videos and then an ad plays really loud because I have my speakers turned up for your video and it always scares me.

Sorry about that. I can't get my microphone to record at a higher volume, and if I increase the volume by editing the audio file it doesn't sound great. I've tried. Maybe when I replace my microphone.

Oh don't worry about it, it's not a big issue :) A slight increase in volume would be nice, but it's fine how it is, especially if that would lead to distortion. Your mic volume is actually so much better than most tutorials. There's a lot of inkscape tutorials that you can barely hear lol.

Thanks a lot, this is really helpful guide!

You're amazing Sir! Thanks for this.

Nick, your tutorials are gold. Thank you. I'm having one issue - the 'pick colours from image' tool which you use to fill the polygons doesn't behave the way yours does. Mine does nothing. It seems like it just picks the colour but doesn't fill the polygon at all. Anyone have any ideas?

Thank you so much! This Tutorial is super helpful! I made great images with that!

Thanks, super awesome and really helpful

You could actually use this as a basis for learning to paint portraits and the nuances of the planes of the face, warm, cold, light, shadow, etc etc. and just how little is really needed to get a good likeness.

Nick, you're the best!!! =D

Great tutorial, thank you. By following your tips I had homework for school done in 3 hours. Pic of a different girl.

Totally rad. I'm going to give this a whirl.

Thank you for the tutorial. I changed my pic on here to show you my first attempt.

It was very easy to start the video over after realizing the stroke could be deleted all at once in the end, but he still showed his mistake. I like that in a youtuber. Goes to show you even really knowledgeable people make stupid mistakes and it doesn't at all mean that they don't know what they're doing.

Thanks Nick, this was a great help :)

Hey, nick. Good job!

Awesome vid

Finally I get it thanks

I found this quite therapeutic. I bit like those adult colouring in books.

I've been watching your beginner videos- they are awesome! I'm learning so much. However, I still can't figure out how to get rid of the white lines between the vectors. I've moved the nodes, trying to fill in the gaps, and I've also grouped then duplicated the image. And it looks great in Inkscape, but after I save- the gaps are visible. AH! Is there something I'm missing??

this is really helpful

Nice tutorial!

Am so Happy with This Channel to be Honest I am From South Africa! so Anyone??

great. it's simple but nice.

How do you make an 80s like grid?

it drives me crazy!!! ahah!!! bit you get a linke because this is basically the reason for which I have downloaded Inkscape!

Another great tut! How do you get the modern dark UI in Inkscape?

Thank you!

Haha, it's aliasing like alien, not like a liar. Otherwise another great video, I've been binging on them all since I found one of the logo design ones earlier. Cheers!

Hey, I love your videos! I have an issue though, when I use the dropper, it fills the stroke by default, not the inside of the shape. Is there a setting I need to change? Thanks!

Great tutorial, as always. What do you think about selling illustrations/vectors to stock agencies? Is it worth the effort?

@LogosByNick

I haven't tried it yet, so I can't say. I would imagine they'd have to be really good illustrations, and you'd have to have hundreds of them uploaded to the site before you start making any kind of decent money.

You have new subscriber :)

Awesome videos! I’ve been learning a lot, do you take video requests?

hey @nick saporito.. do you think you can make a video on how to create a stipple dot image

"...and it's repetitive, like I said..." Love your stuff.

This is a great tutorial...¿can you make one about WPAP pop art style with inkscape?

thanks for the advice, i made an awesome present for my girlfriend. One question though, is there a way to make the stroke lines the same color as the fill color without doing it all individually. thanks again, your awesome

Thanks for the video =)

Hi Nick. I am wanting to get into Freelancing and I am wondering what an appropriate age is to start. I am currently a preteen and I am wondering if I am a bit to young or not. I would love your advice on when and how to start Free Lancing.

Any age that you can get work is a great age the start. The earlier the better. The only problem you may run into is that people may not take you seriously because of your age. If I were you I would just put my best work out there and let people judge you based on your abilities and see what happens. You may have to do pro bono stuff for friends, family and charities for a year or two first. Good luck!

Wicked!

If there is a repetitive, fairly simple but time consuming task, there is a good chance somebody automated it already. And yes. There is an extension to reach a similar results with way less effort, the Voronoi/Delaunay extension under generate from path. Machines taking our jobs! ;)

David Fabian But I can't find how to use it. It just makes random polygons and won't follow my shape (polar bear)

@davidfabian3899

It's not fully automated like bitmap-->lowpoly, but saves a lot of time compared to the method shown in the video.Try it like this: open a new document and create a small circle. copy and paste it around a few times. Make sure that there are no circles at the same position. Then select them all, and run the Delaunay algorithm. If all goes well, then you'll get the triangles between the points. After ungrouping, the result is the triangles separated. Try it with different density and number of dots to see different results. Use this experience to decide where to scatter the dots on a picture you want to convert to low poly. --- What I did it to reach a similar result as in the video is that I imported the picture I wanted to use, put it on one layer below, locked that layer, then dotted the above layer according to the picture and ran the Delaunay extension on the dots. To make the triangles somehow correspond to the shades and shapes on the original picture, try to put the dots where there are color differences. Or just try use smaller areas. After it was done(it can take some time if you have more dots) I moved away the group of triangles to delete the dots. Then moved back the triangle group in position over the original image. After moving them on the same layer and ungrouping the triangles you can colour them with the dropper tool as in the video. I hope it helped. There are really nice tutorials around, search for "low poly inkscape" or "Delaunay inkscape"

David Fabian Thanks a lot, this will speed up the process. Though I quite like the fact that I can make all the shapes myself, if I use this technique and I make a very different shape, it will result in lines coming form that shape. I could delete this unwanted lines, but there goes my time saving. Thanks a lot though, it will help in further projects.

Yeah, it's not perfect for these purposes, but can save a lot of time if you know what to expect and where to put the points. If I have any protruding parts on the image, like a leg of a horse or an extended arm I usually do that separately. Otherwise it will be connected to all over the place like it's filled with spider webs. Also, following the advice as Nick gave in the video: bigger homogeneous areas should be covered with less polygons. But yeah, it will always result in triangles. For me, after some practice and experimenting it really became an easy and quick tool to create low-poly images. I took a photo of my cat and and from shooting the picture until saving the ready lowpoly png image took less than an hour. It's still around the third picture I created like this, so it's far from perfect(the mouth area is definitely needs a different solution) but the next one will be better. goo.gl/photos/t89KNFb1F2tamrWj6

I successfully finished this tutorial a couple of months ago and in going back to do this with another image I realized I had to watch some of the tutorial again. BTW your tutorials are top notch. The second time around I'm not seeing the geometric shape I just created unless I hide layer 1 which would be the original image layer and then I am able to see the shape with the black outline. What did I skip or not enable?

Whoops! Sorry I caught the rookie mistake right after typing the question. So I just needed to move the polygons layer above the image layer.

we can select all the polygons at last and remove the border

Great video ! I'm new to inkscape and you help a lot. Where is the dark mode tho?

go to preferences and themes and choose dark theme

You should do a tutorial on making a portrait or picture into a vector without having to trace it like your parrot tutorial. If it's possible.

Nice video

Is there a way to select multiple shapes and fill them in with different colors of the picture all at once? I'm doing a portrait for a friend and have MULTIPLE shapes over his face and see it as time-consuming to fill them each on one by one.

Is there an alternative shortcut to the shift x stroke delete
