Video Description

One of the most common questions I receive is how Inkscape compares to Illustrator, and if one is better than the other. The two applications are very similar and have a lot in common, but despite that there’s still enough differences between them for a worthwhile comparison to be made. In this video I’m going to break that all down and go over some the advantages and disadvantages of Illustrator vs Inkscape. Want to learn more about how Inkscape works? Check out the Inkscape Master Class - a comprehensive series of over 50 videos where I go over every tool, feature and function in Inkscape and explain what it is, how it works, and why it's useful: https://logosbynick.com/inkscape/ You can check out my other channel for Illustrator tutorials here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9OV3PevmfZt1k1jQDzWm0A Intro song: "In Da Mood" by Combustibles, used with written permission
