I've been using Inkscape for a long time too and I'm still learning, LOL I think this program is so robust that you'll always learn something new with Inkscape.

First time here. WOW! So much information, clearly given and easy to follow. Thank you. Will be watching many more of your videos.

Learning a new program can be difficult but because it’s free I choose to try and figure it out lol anything to save a few bucks.

Great tutorial, Ashlee, THANK YOU! I love my Cricut Machines - I have the Cricut Explore Air 2, Maker 3 and got the Joy Xtra in January this year. I feel Cricut Design Space is letting its Customers who, for whatever reason, don't pay for Cricut access, down as every new update you now need Cricut Access to use them. Apparently Cricut could be bringing out a Laser Machine at some point, which is great, but personally feel they should concentrate on fixing the bugs in CDS first before releasing yet another new machine. Just my HO ofcourse. I use Canva and save my projects in both PNG & SVG. [I also use Creative Fabrica a lot as well for SVGs as they come with a Commercial Licence which is awesome] I've not used Inkscape as often as I'd like, so definitely going to watch your tutorials and have a try. 💕💕

i can't wait to try this!!!!!!

Although this isn't a character tutorial the new svg file that we create is of a realistic image, so this will be really helpful to learn so you can replicate the same steps with realistic characters: kzread.info/dash/bejne/f6maj7aHoJu5eLw.htmlsi=81odZt1_dLFZrP_F

Inkscape is the best free program I've ever seen, I promise!

I have tried using Inkscape and it always freezes my computer up. I design my svg files on Silhouette Business Edition.

Ай бұрын

I’ve never had the issue with Inkscape freezing but silhouette business edition is $$ (and although I have it too, most don’t want to spend the money on an app they could do it for free ya know)

So glad I found this tutorial. I had ink scape for awhile but I probably need to check for the newest version. Definitely looks like you have more control in inkscape than design space.

You can’t, but once you delete a node you can go back and move the line back to the spot you want.

I am having issues that when I trace bitmap my image is not as clear as yours, what am I doing wrong, like it is not a clear image as your is, and my settings look to be set the same as yours. Great tutorial and would work great if I can get bitmap to look like yours! Thank you so much!

Are you using the same exact image as me? If so, try saving the image to a higher quality. If not, choose images that are higher resolution. The more resolution the better the trace.

there's a drop down box when saving that you can change it to an SVG file.

Hi, This is amazing and easy to follow along, but I must have missed something. 🤣😬😬😊 I had the following issues: 1. When I right clicked on the clipart I did not have an option to download, so I selected "save image as." 2. When I put my silhouette to the threshold of 1.000 it turns into a black square, even when I place it on the colored image, it remains a square. Also, if I take the silhouette image down to 0.990, the white part of the silhouette's eyes show. If possible, can you let me know what I might be doing incorrectly. Thank you.

@ashleefalco

Ай бұрын

Hello! Saving image as is perfectly fine and acceptable. You did the right thing! Turning it all the way to 1.00 will turn anything black. You’ll want to take the threshold down until you get exactly the image you’re wanting. Once you’re satisfied press update. Depending on the image you may need to go down to .97 (it just depends on the original image).

Great tutorial! However, definitely not a follow along for someone trying to learn Inkscape. I wish you could have explained where the buttons were as you were selecting things. It got really difficult to follow along when you started changing the colors of the eyes. I guess I will have to play around with Inkscape more, before trying this again.
