Pls help. Why do you change the blend mode to Darken or Soft Color then back to Normal? What is it for? Thanks!
Hello, can I ask at the 7:21 minute mark, why do you need to duplicate the pupil and send it to the back? Thank you so much.
How did u remove background from image after 24:44 min suddenly bacground is changing to white, how did u do tahat
awesome!
when having a common border like between the jacket and the hair isnt possible to use it as a common border or must draw it twice for each element? doing so must be precise and do the work two times
nice
so like it

What I love about your art is your way of using color to enhance the base lines draw, and using thme in such an easy way on the eyes!!! good work.
A great demonstration and step by step of what Inkscape can do. Will have to check out the other videos on your channel. You can remove stroke if the shape is still selected by clicking on none in the lower colour pallet while holding shift. ( None being the white box with the X in it located in the lower left corner
😍

for everyone else who is confused by clipping:
"A clip allows you to hide all parts of the bottom object that are outside the clip(top) object."
Wow, I learned a lot from watching you, thank you very much!

hello do i need to be good at drawing in order to create vector artwork
Superb. It was really helpful. I learnt a lot from this video. I have gone through many videos who doesn't explain the steps clearly and it was difficult for me to follow through as I am a newbie to Inkscape. Thanks a ton.
Sir can you please provide the color code in the description…it is hard to see
Thank you for providing this tutorial free of cost 🙂 you are doing a great service to Inkscape users
It's tricky using the bezier tool. I need lots of practice to get the curves right.
Hi guys! One question, and very honest one. Why would you take the time to do this if you can have an app on your phone that can do this faster?
hey friend, I want to know, where did you download the Inkscape and what is the version you used to create this illustation.
what theme are you using on inkscape?
Who needs Coreldraw and Illustrator?
I love you!! Thank you !
Amazing! Very well explained, thanks!
i don't know why, right click set clip is not working for me
I just used this tutorial to create a self-portrait and the tutorial is beyond amazing – super detailed and very easy to follow. Love it.
