Course content

5 sections • 27 lectures • 1h 57m total length

  • Introduction0:35

    Learn to convert images into art in Inkscape using the trace bitmap feature, understand how it works, and apply it in two sample projects to elevate your vector art.

  • Trace Bitmap Dialog 1: Single Scan Tab5:51

    Import an image, open trace bitmap, and use the single scan tab to create a vector path while adjusting brightness cutoff and preview.

  • Trace Bitmap Dialog 2: Multicolor Tab4:18

    Use the multicolor tab to create multiple scans that form a group of paths, with the default scan setting at 8 and brightness steps mode.

  • Trace Bitmap Dialog 3: Pixel Art Tab2:15

    The pixel art tab vectorizes small images by creating one path per pixel, yielding thousands of paths; switch from voronoi to b-splines to reduce objects in a 100×64 light-bulb image.

  • Sample Project 1: Sport Logo8:10

    Create a skateboard club logo in Inkscape by tracing a bitmap with brightness cutoff. Refine with path operations and curve text on a circle, then apply a texture with overlay.

  • Sample Project 2: Paint Splatter Illustration4:57

    Learn how to create a paint splatter illustration in Inkscape by tracing a flower with multicolor detection, removing backgrounds, clipping and merging paths, and vectorizing splatters for a polished composition.

  • Conclusion0:20

    Learn to use Inkscape's Trace Bitmap feature to convert images into illustrations, and gain inspiration to apply Trace Bitmap in your work.

Requirements

  • At least a basic knowledge of Inkscape.

Description

Level Up Your Inkscape Skills

The Inkscape Short Collection is a collection of short Inkscape classes (under 1 hour), which target specific features and tools of Inkscape.

I will be adding more classes to the collection in the future, and the good news is that after you purchase the collection the first time, you automatically receive free access to all future classes!

The classes in this collection will mainly focus on intermediate to advanced Inkscape topics, so if you're completely new to Inkscape, I highly recommend first checking out one of my full Inkscape courses, such as Inkscape Deep Dive or Inkscape Essentials.

The Inkscape Short Collection currently includes the following classes:

Convert Images Into Illustrations in Inkscape: Use Trace Bitmap Like a Pro

Demystify Inkscape's Trace Bitmap feature and learn how to use it to turn images into beautiful illustrations!

The Trace Bitmap Dialog in Inkscape is an incredibly useful and versatile feature, but it can seem quite overwhelming and challenging when you first start to use it. In this class, I'll teach you the ins and outs of Trace Bitmap, and we'll take a look at a number of ways in which we can apply it to our work, by using it on various images to create some real-world projects together.

Create Eye-Catching Logo Mockups in Inkscape

Learn how to use Inkscape to make your logo designs pop by creating stunning mockup displays!

In this class, we'll be using Inkscape to create a seal logo, which will involve plenty of shape and text manipulation. After that, we'll create two mockups for our logo, one to make the logo look like a patch on fabric and one to make it look like a wood engraving. We'll be able to use these mockups to make our logo look really nice and put it on display for potential clients!

Create Fully Editable Text Effects in Inkscape 1.3+

Learn how to create fully editable and customizable text effects in Inkscape!

In this class, we'll learn how to use Inkscape to create text effects that are completely editable and customizable at any time, so we no longer have to worry about spelling mistakes or choosing the best font straightaway. We'll start by learning the special techniques that we'll need (which require Inkscape version 1.3 or above), then we'll use the techniques to create four amazing effects.

Designing with Grids in Inkscape 1.3+

Unleash the power of Inkscape's Shape Builder Tool!

With the amazing Shape Builder Tool (introduced in Inkscape 1.3), we can easily turn grids into a polished and professional looking designs. In this class, we'll first learn exactly how the Shape Builder Tool works. Then we'll see how to use it to create designs with a variety of grids, including grid templates that Inkscape provides for us, isometric and polar grid extensions, and our own custom grids for more complex designs.

Who this course is for:

  • Inkscape users who are ready to take their skills to the next level.
