Inkscape Tutorial Vector iPhone 6 Video Lecture - Inkscape Design Tutorial

this is Nick with logos by Nick comm and
in today's tutorial I'll be
demonstrating how to create this vector
iPhone 6 using Inkscape and any point in
this tutorial you could look down at the
bottom left hand side of my screen to
see which mouse clicks and keystrokes
I'm using so we'll go ahead and get
started the first thing to do in
Inkscape is set the view to custom and
then we're going to zoom in at a hundred
percent then we'll open up our align and
distribute menu with this button here
make sure you have last selected chosen
from that drop-down and then we'll open
up our edit objects colors gradients and
Stroke so the first thing we're going to
do is create a rectangle so let's come
over to the squares and rectangles tool
click on that and we'll just click and
drag on the canvas to create a rectangle
doesn't matter which shape or size and
then we'll go back to the Select tool
and we're gonna change the width and the
height of this to I have it written down
here in a notepad file 200 by 415 so
we'll take this and we'll come up here
to the width will erase that highlight
that and just type in 200 and then hit
tab on the keyboard to skip over to the
height and I think that was for 15 and
then hit enter 200 by 415 yeah that's
right
so we have our rectangle right here 200
by 415 and with this selected let's go
back to the rectangles tool and once
we're in the rectangles tool we're gonna
see these little nodes show up here on
the rectangle we're gonna take this
little circle node in the top right
corner and just click and drag this down
a little bit to round the corners maybe
about that much and then we'll take the
opacity of this and drop this down about
in half and we're going to create
another rectangle just click and drag to
draw another rectangle we're going to
make the via corners of that square and
we'll make this red and let's go back to
the Select tool and we're gonna make the
width from the height of this 180 set 1
8 0 hit tab to skip over to the height
by 300 I believe it was 300 hit enter
180 by 300 320 actually 100 by 320 and
hit enter and then hold shift in the
keyboard and click on the on the on the
black rectangles
have them both selected and we're going
to Center those on the vertical and
horizontal axis and then click off of it
to deselect everything now let's zoom in
on this graphic right now you could
press plus in the keyboard to zoom in or
you can just hold ctrl on the keyboard
and roll upwards in the mouse wheel
we're gonna want to zoom in I'm pressing
down the mouse wheel and moving the
mouse to move the page around like this
so we're to come up here towards the top
of this red rectangle we're going to
click on that rectangle and go to path a
linked offset and we're going to turn
that offset blue and we'll take this
note up here in the top left corner and
just drag this out a little bit just so
that that blue shape is a little bit
bigger just a little bit bigger than
that red rectangle and we'll finalize it
by converting it to a path and we'll go
to a path object to path and then we're
gonna do the same thing with this black
rectangle right here let's click on that
and let's go to path linked offset and
we're going to turn the offset copy red
and we'll take this note and just click
and drag this out a little bit maybe
about that much that should be good and
then we'll go to path object to path to
finalize that now let's um let's scroll
down here you could roll down on the
mouse wheel to scroll down you could
just press down on the mouse wheel and
move the page around like that or if you
don't have a mouse wheel there should be
scroll bars on the edge of the pages and
we're gonna come down here to this
bottom portion we're gonna put a circle
right there so let's go to the circles
and ellipses tool and click on that and
hold ctrl and shift in the keyboard and
click and drag to create a perfectly
round circle like that and we'll go back
to our select tool and we're going to
make the width and the height of this 33
so let's erase that hit 3 3 hit tab hit
3 3 and then enter and then hold shift
in the keyboard and click on that black
shape and center it on the vertical axis
and then click off of it to deselect
everything so we're gonna take this
circle right now I'm just gonna I'm just
going to hold ctrl and just click and
drag this down just so it looks like
it's in the center we want it to be in
the center of that portion right there
I'd say that's a pretty good position
and let's turn that red
I mean blue and then we'll right-click
this go to duplicate and we'll turn the
duplicated copy red and we're gonna make
the width from the height of this 30
just 30 so let's race that 3-0 tab 3-0
enter and then hold shift in the
keyboard and click on the blue circle so
we have them both selected and we'll
Center it on the vertical and horizontal
axis and then click off of the graphic
to deselect everything so what we'll do
next is well let's scroll back up here
to the top you could just roll up on the
mouse wheel it'll bring you up here and
I'm gonna create another rectangle and I
click on the rectangles and squares tool
I'm going to click and drag to create a
rectangle right here let me make the the
corners of that squared for now and the
width and the height of that is going to
be 30 by 5 so we're gonna make let's go
back to the Select tool let's erase
whatever number that is hit 3-0 tab and
the height is going to be 5 and then hit
enter and we're working with pixels here
the entire time just so you know from
this drop-down make sure you have px
selected and once we've set the width
from the height we'll go back to the
rectangle tool and we'll grab this node
and just bring that down as far as it'll
go to round the edges I'll go back to
the Select tool hold shift in the
keyboard and click on the black shape
and let's Center that on the vertical
axis and then click off of the graphic
to deselect everything and the next step
is to let's create a circle right up
here I'm just going to hold ctrl and
shift and click and drag to create a
circle like that and the size of that
circle will be 5 so let's go back to the
Select tool we'll make the width 5
pixels hit tab make that the height 5
pixels hit enter and then hold shift and
click on this little red shape and
Center that on the vertical axis and
then we can click off of the graphic to
deselect everything so the next thing
we're going to do is let's click on this
circle and right click that and go to
duplicate and we'll put this over here
off to the left and we're gonna make the
width and the height of this 8 pixels so
let's erase that and hit
hit eight and then tab and then eight
enter and then we're gonna hold shift
and click on that red rectangle right
there
and make sure that that is centered on
the horizontal axis and then we can you
know what let's hold shift and click on
this circle so we have all three of
these shapes selected we're going to
turn them blue for now just so we could
differentiate it and then click off of
the graphic to deselect everything now
let's come over here off to the
left-hand side of the the phone we're
drawing now let's go to our rectangle
tool let's just click and drag to create
a rectangle like that and I'm gonna make
the corner squared for now we'll go back
to so we'll go back to our select tool
and the width and the height of this is
going to be three by 15 so we're gonna
erase that hit 3 hit tab 15 and enter
and we're just gonna take this and put
this over here off to the left I'm gonna
zoom in on this a little more by holding
ctrl and rolling up on the mouse wheel
just so I could see this better we want
to position this thing going through
this red red area right here about
halfway through like that now once you
have a position there we could hold
shift and click on this red shape here
and align the top edges so that it's
placed up there vertically so let's uh
click off of that to deselect everything
and let's go to our rectangles and
squares tool and click on just this
right here and we're gonna grab this
node and just round those corners off a
little bit I'll go back to our select
tool I'm gonna zoom out a little bit
maybe one maybe twice like that and then
I'm gonna take this object I'm going to
right click it and go to duplicate hold
ctrl and click and drag this down to
about here and I'm gonna make the height
of this 130 so erase whatever that is in
there hit 3-0 inventor and I'm gonna
hold ctrl and move this down a little
further maybe about this far apart and
then I'll right-click this and go to
duplicate hold ctrl move that down to
about here and let's say that looks
pretty good
and we could press you know what let's
right-click that and go to duplicate and
let's bring this over to the right side
I'm just going to press down on the
mouse wheel and move the
to pan this page over like that and I'm
gonna put this all the way over here
maybe about down here the other one on
the other side we aligned it to the top
edge of the red so we want this one to
be a little lower because it's so that's
how it's positioned on the phone so this
will be put down about there and once
you have that position there go ahead
and send that to the bottom with this
button right here lower selection to the
bottom and come back over to this side
I'm gonna zoom out a little bit and I'm
gonna click and drag over those three
objects right there will unify them
together by going to path Union and then
send them to the bottom as well lower
selection to the bottom and then let's
press one on the keyboard to zoom out so
here we have pretty much the outline
drawn we just have to color this in and
add a few details now so let's click and
drag over the entire graphic and bring
the opacity all the way up and then
let's click off of the graphic to
deselect everything so the first thing
we're gonna do is let's click on this
red this red square right here and then
hold alt and click on it again so we can
get to the blue square behind it and
you'll know you'll have the blue square
selected once you see that blue stripe
and we're gonna make this 90 percent
gray we're gonna leave this back here is
black we want this this shape right here
we want that to be a hundred percent
black and we want these shape behind the
red color to be ninety percent gray like
that and then we'll click on the red
shape we're gonna make this thirty
percent gray and then we'll give this a
linear gradient with this button right
here linear gradient and we'll press G
on the keyboard to get the gradient tool
and these little nodes will show up will
you just click on this node to the right
and then take the opacity and bring that
all the way up and under the HSL tab
we're gonna take the l column and bring
that all the way to the right and we'll
take the white stop and put this up here
and we'll take the darker gray stop and
just hold ctrl and drag that straight
down to there and then we go back to our
select tool next we can click on this
red circle right here and turn that
lack and now we're gonna want to select
the blue circle that's underneath that
so we could just hold alt and click on
it again to grab the blue one and we're
gonna make this 80% gray if you just
hover the cursor over the shade right
here it'll tell you 80 percent gray and
then we'll take this black circle and
then we'll right-click that and go to
duplicate and turn that white and bring
the opacity down a whole bunch maybe um
well we'll just leave it around 50 for
now we'll right-click that and go to
duplicate we'll turn that red hold ctrl
and just click and drag this up about
halfway through like that and then we
could hold ctrl and grab this top arrow
and just scale this out a little bit
maybe about that much and then hold
shift and click on that white circle we
just drew and go to path difference and
then we can go and adjust the opacity of
this I think this looks good at about
maybe 15 or 16 like that I'm gonna press
1 to zoom out to see yeah that should be
pretty good 15 or 16 percent opacity and
then let's click on this red object in
the background here I'm gonna hold ctrl
and roll up in the mouse wheel you know
what let's click on the blue objects
first let's click on those blue objects
right they're having trouble grabbing
them once you have them selected turn
them black I'm gonna press 1 to zoom
back out I'm gonna zoom in to this side
so I can grab this little button and
make that black as well and then we can
click on the red objects right there
it's probably good idea to select it
while you're zoomed in like this so go
ahead and once you have that selected
press 1 on the keyboard to zoom back out
and we're gonna make this 70 percent
gray so let's click on this 70 percent
and then we're gonna give this a linear
gradient as well and we're gonna edit
this a little bit so I'm just going to
click Edit if you're using version 91
there should be a little edit icon down
here and I'm gonna go ahead and click
edit because I'm using version 48 and in
version 91 this drop down should appear
up in the toolbar up here with version
48 the one I'm using
it appears on a floating window so once
that's open it should be two stops here
I'm gonna go to the bottom one and under
the HSL tab I'll go to the a column and
bring that all the way to the right and
then I'll click this button that says
add stop I'll click that once and then
if you look at the drop down you'll see
this three stops in there I'm gonna go
to this in this middle stop right here
and I'm going to take the L column and
bring that all the way well not all the
way to the right a little bit make that
a lighter gray maybe about 176 then we
can close out of that that's done and
we'll go back to our gradient tool you
press G on the keyboard there's the
gradient tool and I'm going to take this
top node and put this up here and take
this node just hold ctrl and just move
that down to the bottom and then we go
back to our select tool and click off of
the graphic to deselect everything so
the next step for us to do is to give
this a little bit of a like a like a
reflection almost like it's reflecting
light and to do that we're gonna go to
the bezzie a pen and we're gonna start
out here to the outside of the phone so
about the right hand side go ahead and
click and then the line bring that line
straight up through here so it's going
between the circle and the rectangle
like that and then once it's up there go
ahead and click and then we can just
bring this around the outside back to
the starting point we'll go to our
select tool we're gonna take this black
object right here and right click that
and go to duplicate and then hold shift
in the keyboard and click on that shape
we just drew and go to path intersection
and we're going to turn that white and
we're going to get rid of the stroke by
holding shift and clicking on the X and
I should get rid of that black outline
and then we're going to lower this a few
steps so let's come up here to where it
says lower selection one step I'm gonna
click that once two three four five so
that's five times I click that to send
that beneath the screen and like the
little bevel of the screen there and
once we've done that we could press 1 on
the keyboard to zoom back out and
we're gonna give this a linear gradient
with this button right here linear
gradient and then we'll go to the
gradient tool by pressing G on the
keyboard and we'll take the white side
of the gradient put it up here outside
of the top and we'll take this one and
hold ctrl and bring it straight down
maybe do about there so we have it set
up like that then we go back to our
select tool and click off of the graphic
that deselect everything and the final
step would be to detail these little
speakers and camera elements right here
so I'm going to hold ctrl and roll up on
the mouse wheel to zoom in I'm gonna
click on that rectangle and then hold
shift and click on that blue circle and
turn those black and then click off of
the graphic deselect everything and then
I'm gonna click on this just this black
rectangle right here and I'll right
click that and go to duplicate and I'm
going to turn that copy
maybe I'll go with 60% gray and then
I'll right click that and go to
duplicate and I'll turn that copy black
and then hold ctrl and click and drag
this up so about here and then hold
shift and click on the gray piece
beneath it and go to path difference
we're gonna do the same thing with this
this object right here we'll right-click
that duplicate and I believe that was
60% gray and then we'll right-click that
go to duplicate turn that black hold
ctrl click and drag upwards to move that
up about to there maybe there hold shift
click on the grey circle beneath it go
to path difference and then finally
we'll come over here and I'm going to
make this one I think 80% gray
yeah 80% gray then I'll right-click this
and go to duplicate and I'll make that
one maybe 30% gray and then I'll right
click that and go to duplicate we'll
turn that black hold ctrl on the
keyboard and just click and drag upwards
it's about their hold shift click on the
gray circle beneath it and go to path
difference make a press 1 on the
keyboard to zoom back out click off of
the graphic to deselect everything and
that should pretty much do it for this
tutorial that's how you can create a
vector iPhone 6 using Inkscape so if you
have any questions let me know and as
always thank you for watching
