In this tutorial I will draw a rather simple ice pop (or popsicle) in Inkscape v0.47.A very special thank-you goes to Christian (of Chrisdesign) for providing me with this tutorial. Again, he has done all of the hard work for me. How nice is that? Here’s the color palette for the tutorial.by heathenx

In this screencast I hope to make a relatively easy wallpaper using trendy circles in Inkscape 0.47.by heathenx

In this episode I will take another stab at illustrating chrome using a pre-defined filter effect found in Inkscape 0.47.I recommend checking out other chrome effect tutorials for Gimp and Inkscape. MeetTheGimp Episode 065 and Troy Sobotka’s Inkscape tutorial. Of course those two are not the only ones found on the Net but they are rather inspirational.Incidentally, there is a little video...

In this screencast I demonstrate how to use a couple of utilities to convert an RGB image created in Inkscape to CMYK. I used Inkscape version 0.47.There are several applications and utilities to choose from in order to convert an RGB image to a CMYK image (Gimp w/Separate+ plugin, Scribus, and tifficc deserve mention) . In this screencast I show just two: Imagemagick and CMYKTool. For Imagemag...

In this episode, I demonstrate how to apply a more realistic looking texture to an object using Inkscape 0.46. Using typography as an example, and with the help of The Gimp’s Render Cloud tool, I show how to turn a ho-hum texture into something a little more natural looking. While I show an example with text, you could use this sort of treatment with any sort of object you’d like to...

In this screencast I will illustrate how to make a bottle cap using Inkscape 0.47. I want to thank HayTay (which I think I pronounced KayTay in the screencast…oops!) from the TalkGraphics.com forum for giving me the inspiration for this episode. by heathenx

In this special episode I will use Blender and Inkscape to create a vitamin bottle with decal. I’ll be using Blender 2.49b and Inkscape 0.47pre4. I must warn our Inkscape viewers out there that is episode serves as a bit of a special one. There is a lot of focus on Blender. I won’t get into the habit of doing this in the future. Inkscape should be our focus on this website.  Of...

In this screencast I will illustrate how to make a tilt-shift miniature photo using Inkscape 0.47pre4. The final image in this screencast is a little hard to see so if you want to take a look at something better then take a gander at this picture. Also, check out Tilt-Shift Maker for an even faster way of making these images. Have fun. by heathenx

In this episode, I demonstrate a few simple text treatments using Inkscape 0.46. Nothing too technically challenging here, just a few treatments I’ve done on text in the past that I find valuable. Hopefully it will help spur people to use typography more in their designs. At the start of this screencast I point to a great web site called The League of Moveable Type. While they only have a...

In this screencast I will demonstrate how to pattern along a path to make retro style curves in Inkscape 0.46. I apologize for the piss-poor quality of this screencast. I rushed it because I was being rushed. Unfortunately, I’m not going to have a lot of time to screencast in the next week or two so it was either today or not at all. Good enough will have to do. by heathenx
