    I was debating about installing Inkscape, since my Illustrator sub is over, or resubbing to Adobe. I'm going with Inkscape after seeing this tutorial. Usually I don't consider speed runs helpful, but this was splendid. Thank you.

    Not a true conversion, but a video on how to trace your photos in Inkscape to create vector images. Great that you added the text on the screen.

    For Goodness Sake. Put a Voice on your tutorials. All your videos have good contents except that only for artistic demonstrations. Not a material for amateurs to follow. The whole process darting around too fast and with the zany music gives us a spinning headache.

    Usually don't watch videos without narration but with the choice of music you chose it made it worth watching.
    Great job.
    Is there a way to set line thickness instead of resizing the fat lines?

    how did you change the shape of the Bezier lines? they are like ellipses

  26. @angelasims4936 Avatar
    @angelasims4936

    You use a node at the end of your line to adjust the thickness of your line…I don't have that…there isn't a circle node at the end of my lines that allows me to do that…I only have the path nodes and the handles available to me on each line. What am I missing? Do I have to wrong version of Inkscape? Is there a setting I need to adjust? Please help!
