In this Inkscape 1.0 tutorial I show you how to create a minimal vector portrait from a photo. This is a quick and easy technique that involves beginner-friendly tools like the paths tool and simple shortcut keys. I show you some awesome tips and tricks along the way to help you get the best out of Inkscape.
I show you how to perform basic shading on a vector illustration, plus how to quickly combine shapes to create complex objects. Finally, I show you how to use transform tools and handles to quickly combine areas of your drawing for a symmetrical result.

many thanks for your tutorial, very useful, very well explained 🤓👍
She kinda came out looking like the bride of frankenstein or a baldheaded scallywag. You did this sista wrong with that frisbee hair and pink lipstick – lol. Got her neck lookin big like Shaq and her ears little like Martin. And if you're gonna draw a wig on a sista – for the LOVE OF HEAVEN – draw a lace front. BLACK WOMEN WANT AND NEED EDGES…. I mean not one baby hair is protecting her fivehead from the sun. Have mercy!! You got her out here needing SPF 5000. That being said – the actual tutorial was great! Clear, quick, and easy to understand.
Gorgeous picture and Great Work!❤

I know this is a tutorial to show technique, but the head proportions look wonky. And those ears… bad size & placement. Still like the channel, though!
Good work
