Inkscape Lesson 10 - Trace Images with Bezier Tool

Thank you 🙏!!!

thanks you helped me on my graphic designing assignment

Really helpful

my regular bezier took is inversely mirroring curves when i make one using left click. it is impossible to make an outline in one flow because of it. how can it be fixed

So when I use regular bezier tool and using left click try to make curves, i find it difficult to make my next curve as it forces me to curve in the opposite direction. So say I make a curve towards the left hand side by drawing a line and then using left click, to make the next curve on the same side there is simply no option as it doesn't curve on the left hand side no matter what i do, moreover it suggests to curve towards the right hand side. It is super frustrating and making is impossible it to trace anything.

You sound like that watch dude!!!

Thanks for this awesome tutorial!

Thanks a lot TJ. I have learned a lot from your videos, a lot more than watching somebody design some project that leaves you not understanding the tools they are using and why they choose those tools. Your method inspires more creativity. Again thanks a ton.

Thank you for all of these very well done tutorials. Last night I watched Lessons 1-11. later I added 15. Excellent progression of teaching each tool. Lesson 10 is what I needed for my "end game". I am a Quilter that needs templates cut precisely by my Sihouette Cameo. Easy to do with well designed templates. But when they are hand drawn, forget it! Your tutorials have taught me how to take hand drawn designs and turn them into well done SVG files. Game changer for me!!!! Thank you so much!!!!

Probably a stupid question but how do you move down the page when tracing the image? If I try to use the roller on my mouse it goes crazy and once I start tracing the arrow keys no longer seem to work. I zoom in to trace but cannot then seem to move the image to allow me to see further down

if i have an image that has very thin lines in parts of the image and i want to thicken these lines (beause i want to laser cut the image in metal ) how will i do that... will it be with the bezir tool or is there some other way

Thank you

Hi TJ, this was super helpful! Now that I have my outline, what steps do I need to take to merge the outline inside of a circle? I've tried several things and I am obviously missing something

You are not a teacher ur a God of art for us..😇

TJ love the videos I learned alot. Was wondering if instead of making object blue if you could of left image alone? Again tks keep up great viedos

so cool, I got it to work :) starting to feel like I can do something with this. thanks.

What was the music you played during the timelapse? It was pretty cool!

Thanks for sharing so cool

Nice tutorials. I find myself coming back to them when I forget something. Like how to blur things 😂

How can I make one and fix the nodes without color fill? I’m trying to trace over my sketch drawings and I’m having problems with that.

Really could use your help doing a jersey swap. Taking a jersey from one picture and adding it to a different picture. Please!!!

How does the laser cutter or engraver see the vector lines?

U are, great man, absolutely. I loved it, God bless and reward you for the work, if not here then in the afterlife ❤️✌️

You are amazing man!

Ok but what’s the faster way you mentioned??

Does anyone know why is it the object created by bevel in triangle mode cant be duplicated. I tried duplicating it but it overlaps with one another and on moving the duplicate, the orginal object also moves. This happens only in triangle mode

This is exactly what I was looking for thanking!!!

Hi I am doing as you say and tracing an img but when I do a curve using the tool then it continues to be a curve while selecting the next node instead of going back to being a straight line. Is the only way to make it straight to press enter or is there another way? Thanks for the tutorials!

I’m going through your series and this is almost exactly what I was looking for. I’d like to go a step further and cut out holes in the object that was created from tracing. I will continue watching your series, hoping you cover that. If not, what do you suggest doing?

Very good tutorial ! Thanks !

I like this but what about if I wanted to do lines of my drawing I've just scanned? Same idea but not with a fill?

This is sooo cool!!

I was drawing and I saw a crossbar guide when I drag along the screen and the guide moves along the object. I did it by mistakenly. How do I bring it back?

I want to change the words on Jurassic World logo into a name of a person, is this possible?

Thanks for your GREAT Tutorials .

FunTastic ! Thanks TJ FREE

I know this is an older video, but I am just working on learning inkscape. Is it possible once you create the initial trace to offset it outward and then delete the original trace? For example, trace the outline of a raster image, then trace the outside with the bezier tool, and offset it to create a cut path for a laser?

I really like that blurred white background at the end. That's a cool effect.

awesome

I learned Ctrl+D. Tnx

Thanks for this. I always found the Bezier Tool rather scary. I think I get it now! 😀

Thank you! I designed a tabletop using a bunch of different points on a french curve. I've been racking my brain trying to figure out a way to get a cleaned up version that I can print out for a paper template, and I believe this might just do the trick. You're awesome, thank you! Lol

You know i can not do this class because i dont have Bezier tool in my tool box.

Wouldn't it be perfectly OK to use any old image if we are just going to outline?

Thank you! I've struggling with trying to trace my hand drawn images, this makes it so much simpler.

Wow, thank you so much

Is there a way to select the object without tracing it?

Sir! The Bezier Tool does not exist in my Inkscape software

Thanks so much, TJ, for supporting Inkscape with these AWESOME instructional vids!!
