Inkscape Tutorials: Creating Little Drawings

When it comes to creating illustrations, many artists and designers turn to vector graphics software like Inkscape. However, not everyone has extensive experience with drawing or using these programs. That's why I've put together this tutorial on how to create simple drawings in Inkscape, even if you're a beginner.

To get started, set the canvas size as you desire. For this example, I used a standard 128x128 pixel size, which is ideal for creating thumbnails. From here, we'll take a photo and transform it into a drawing using only the mouse – no tablet required!

In traditional tutorials, these types of illustrations are often created in GIMP, but today we're going to try something a little different: drawing them in vector graphics using Inkscape. The best part is that you don't need to be an experienced artist or have extensive knowledge of Inkscape to follow along.

To begin, choose a photo as reference and import it into your Inkscape canvas. This will serve as the basis for our drawing. Even if you're not comfortable with drawing, using a photo as a guide makes it easy to create a realistic illustration.
