Course Description


The course is teaching everything one should know to work efficiently with the free and open source graphic design program Inkscape. As a free program, there are plenty of short tutorials about Inkscape, but not a comprehensive video tutorial like this was made before! These lessons are not for solving individual tasks (like how to create a banner, how to draw a fish etc.) but rather going through all the tools one can need to understand and use Inkscape on an amateur or even professional level! Apart from sharing the tools, I also give my tricks and tips I developed myself as a designer working with Inkscape for years.

There are 30 lectures of varying length, and .svg files are provided where needed, so students can learn and experiment. This is how the course is built up:

  1. In the first set of lectures we go through the basic tools, and understand how Inkscape works.
  2. Then the more complex tools follow, and we create more elaborate designs.
  3. Then I'm sharing some illustration tips and tricks, that will make for clever and outstanding illustration.
  4. And in the final lessons we create a Christmas card together, using all the tools and knowledge acquired during the course.

Have fun and ask when you need help! New videos will be added to the course upon request!

This was a good introduction to InkScape. Although the audio and video was a bit fuzzy, the instructor was able to explain in very good detail without over complicating anything, how to use InkScape. The example of the Christmas Card at the end was very good. And also the other examples where he shows you how to make a coffee mug, rain-drops and even how to make trees and bushes just shows you how you can take a simple object and make it more complex without too much work. The rest now has to do with your own creativity. Thank you for the course.

This course did exactly what I needed it to do. It taught me ways to draw and think creatively in Inkscape. There is another Inkscape course that goes into deep technical details about the tools. Between the two I have seen my creative skills and speed increase significantly. I took a half a star because of audio quality. Some lessons where really hard to hear. I maxed my computer volume and still had a hard time hearing over background noise in my space. It isn't bad enough to not buy the course though. I will revisit this course several more times as I create new drawings. There are all kinds of tips and tricks I am just not experienced enough to recognize how valuable they are to the efficiency of creating projects.

sound could be better

By Steve Freese on 10/22/2020

During the class I spend too much time trying to find the mouse pointer. Could the mouse pointer be larger and colored yellow?

By marben mopera on 10/13/2020

Straight forward and easy to follow. The instructor has a friendly personality and keeps the course fun to follow along. Sound quality is distracting, though - please invest in a good microphone!

I've never used Inkscape before, but these instructions make it very easy to use.

By Caleb Wright on 9/9/2020

I like the instructor and his format but the audio quality is distracting sometimes

By Matthew R. Gayton on 9/5/2020

Enjoying it so far. I am eager to get into more detail!

By Fern Martin on 8/23/2020

He is very thorough in his instruction. He is clear, precise, and explains things very well.
