A tutorial of transforming any photo to a line art vector using Inkscape. Line art is easy to create with the help of Bazier Tool from Inkscape, Bazier Curves are precise in tracing and easy to work with. It is similar to the Pen Tool option of Illustrator.

Good luck colorizing that, too many opened path…
Now how do I get AI to do this for me? Lol
Hi i know i am late in the game. but i seen this and it is EXACTLY what i needed. however the new inkscape looks so different to your video! therefore i tried to do what you doing and it would not let me adjust the drawings like you doing in video. can you assist? all im doing is piut more on top every time i try to press the drawing like you did but it wont work!
I was debating about installing Inkscape, since my Illustrator sub is over, or resubbing to Adobe. I'm going with Inkscape after seeing this tutorial. Usually I don't consider speed runs helpful, but this was splendid. Thank you.

Not a true conversion, but a video on how to trace your photos in Inkscape to create vector images. Great that you added the text on the screen.
OK I'm an Inkscape newbie. This was amazing at a playback speed of 0,25!! Love it!
Thank you very much for this Tutorial
How do you get the tapered lines? There is so much I don't understand
Amazing tutorial! I really learned a lot from it. Thank you.
If I can send you a picture could you do it fir me so I can make an In loving Memory decal?
For Goodness Sake. Put a Voice on your tutorials. All your videos have good contents except that only for artistic demonstrations. Not a material for amateurs to follow. The whole process darting around too fast and with the zany music gives us a spinning headache.
Curiosity @0:25 , why in px and not mm ? Answer = like

Usually don't watch videos without narration but with the choice of music you chose it made it worth watching.
Great job.
Is there a way to set line thickness instead of resizing the fat lines?
Thank a lot my friend!
Bézier curves, Bézier tools…
Thanks a lot, that"s fine easy way tutorial. More, please.
This is brilliant! Thank you ♥️
Incredible video!!! I have been wanting to try this technique.
Hey please show me how to Color this properly please bro
how did you change the shape of the Bezier lines? they are like ellipses
You use a node at the end of your line to adjust the thickness of your line…I don't have that…there isn't a circle node at the end of my lines that allows me to do that…I only have the path nodes and the handles available to me on each line. What am I missing? Do I have to wrong version of Inkscape? Is there a setting I need to adjust? Please help!
