  • Whats the easiest and fastest way to may the outline thicker? thanks! Like your tutorial but it could be a tiny bit faster. :)

  • @ebblyn

    The outline is also called the stroke. In the bottom left corner of Inkscape you should see the word stroke. To the right of that is a color bar and to the right of that is a number. If you right-click on the number it will allow you to change the stroke width.

  • Hi, I have a question about this tutorial.  I'm new to Inkscape. I'm familiar with Photoshop, Pain Shop Pro, and Gimp, but that doesn't help me here. The problem is, when I draw the shape with the bezier tool, and go back to the draw tool, when I draw a shape, it fills it on, like a half moon, For example, if I draw a line like the letter "C", it will fill it inso it looks like a half moon. I've been trying to figure out why it's not working. Can you please help. Thanks..

  • If anyone can help me I will be truly grateful. So, my issue is with the glow. When I print preview, it does not show the glow nor, the drop shadow. If anyone knows how to fix this, please respond A.S.A.P. Thanks!

  • i tried chanking the stroke and it does but once i start the line it goes back to 1

  • Very good Dude

  • @tutor4U I am also having the same issue. I am also running a MAC 10.7.3 with X11. It does exactly what chrisroode explains above. Love you tutorials. They are great.

  • dose inkscape has a snapping system like illustrator?

  • Very good tutorial! Easy to follow and imo right to the core.

  • Nice, thank you for making this video tutorial.

    You show in very simple steps how to create impressive end-result while using tools and techniques that can be used to create complex imagery.

    Thanks!
