Inkscape - Create a Silhouette from full-color clipart
Просмотров 29 тыс.7 лет назад
Silhouettes are a great addition to your designs. While it's easy to just download one from Google or Etsy, you can get a better quality silhouette and get the exact one you want by making it yourself and it's not hard to do! I'll show you how to take any clipart image you can find and turn it into a perfect silhouette to be printed or cut by your cutting machine.
Inkscape - Cleaning up text written in a complex font
Просмотров 16 тыс.7 лет назад
A viewer sent me this file containing some text in a font that was sort of a brush-stroke kind of font - lots of nodes, knicks in the sides of the letters, brush stroke tails on the letters. I show you how to clean something like this up enough to be able to cut it. This one is a bit more advanced but something well worth knowing how to do!

I teach you how to make svg files with circles cut out of them for a monogram. You can then use an app like Monogram It to import your own monogram text or just insert a few letters in a pretty font into those shapes and cut them with your Cricut or Silhouette.

Просмотров 36 тыс.8 лет назад
In this video, I first give some tips on finding an image that will result in a good trace in Inkscape. No matter how good you are with Inkscape, if you start out with a problematic image, you will never get good results. Once I pick one, I trace it in Inkscape to make an svg for cutting the colored layers.

Tracing a simple layered image in Inkscape
Best video I've found. Clearly explains what I wanted to know from the very beginning to the end on Design Space. So many other videos go too quickly for me to grasp what they're doing then leave me handing on how it's displayed in Design Space I give this video 5*****!
Hi Wendy, this is really helpful, thank you. I hope you are well and I was wondering if you are you still out there using Inkscape & helping us newbies? I would like to replace names and a date embedded in an infinity symbol I found on Google images with personalized names and a personalized date so that I can print it out to make a pattern that I can then carve into wood for a wedding gift, using my scroll saw. Would you be able to help me with how I could possibly do that?
Thank you for sharing.
Thank you, I really needed this. Cheers.
Thank youfor this you make it soeasy to understand
6 years and it still helps me. Can't thank you more!
Hey Wendy, I´m struggling all the time with the "difference" function - do you know why it doesn´t work? I did each step like you´ve been indicating. Thanks for your help. Silke
Thank you so much.
Email ?
Best instruction for colour separation in image trace, and I've been using Inkscape 3-4 years for SVG to CNC!!
Hello Wendy. How would you edit a black and white lady silhouette svg to make it look like a colorful girl clipart?
I have tried to do this and never had any luck, but you make it all so clear and simple! Thank you!!! And saying you take special requests, we could become best friends, or not, lol. Thanks again and dont be surprised to hear from me. Carla
Thank you so much!😊
I would have liked to see this process without 'design space.' I assume the color separations and the subsequent assigning of each separated color to a layer can be done between Inkscape and Gimp correct? I do mean without cutting each element out and repasting them into their own layer. Thank you.
Do you have any doing a Minnie mouse bow
Thank you - very simple and easy to follow with your explanation. Had been trying to do some logos bu I wasn't able to follow others' explanations and some of the details were missing. Occasionally I get a BORDER/BAND around an area that I fill. As an example on titans my light blue had a RED-ish border. How do i make it the same light blue color? It must have something to do with FILL AND STROKE window but i can't figure it out.
thanks
This was a Huge help for me. I'm new at the CNC carving and Lazer engraving but learning alot from your videos .. new sub here.
thank you so much . the titorial easy and resum all what i need to know 😍😍
Cool
This is a spectacular video. Thanks for sharing your skill set.
I need some help making an outline of letters with a shape both inside and outside of the shape. let's say you have a heart with a name attached to the heart on the inside, but you want the outline to go around the word and the shape on the inside and outside
Thank you so much, I've never thought in a million years that I could learn how to do a SVG. You rock!
thank you
Watching in 2022 and am inspired to create this!
This is great!! Step by step and slow enough to understand FINALLY! Thank you!
Thank you Wendy!
Very helpful, thank you. Just about to try this for myself.
Nice to know there is an option to bending other than creating a circle then removing!
which version you are using
Great tutorial
This is *not* it
I’m one of the many longtime Adobe CC users want to break free. The trace feature in Illustrator has an expand function that allows you to easily pull parts away from your drawing. This really helps with color separation in silkscreen printing. Is there a similar function in Inkscape? Thank you for sharing you talent.
I just wanted to say thank you for a clear and slow tutorial on how to do the slice, it is very clear and easy to follow. Do you have any more Inkscape tutorials? I am very new to all this and I'm trying to learn Inkscape but a lot of tutorials out there are just to fast or not very clear.
This doesn't work at all
What measure is the total sticker for me to try print
Thank you so simply explained. I've always wanted to do this.
Thank you thank you thank you!!!
You do such a great job showing all the steps and explaining the process.
Wow, I love the explanation.... one question, I tried flipping horizontally, but when I printed my image, it came out regular ( not flipped) I want to transfer the image to a tumbler as sublimation, tia!
great job indeed
You are the MVP for making this video!!!! I found a chip image and followed along on another laptop and even took a few notes. I am a beginner at level zero and I learned so much!!!! YOU ARE AWESOME
TY!!
Thank you for this tutorial. Have you previously covered this topic, but showing a border to cut outside the image to allow for the white of the sticker paper ? Thanks again
