r/Inkscape

I make games, but not art. I tried drawing as a kid and wasn't very good, and every time I tried digital art over the years it never really clicked.

I recently discovered Inkscape, and using shapes instead of freehand drawing just makes sense to me. My goal is to make my own game art, and I'm honestly really happy with how these turned out, especially since they're my first two drawings.

I can not find this anywhere.

Confesso que nem sei o que estou fazendo. kkkk

Thought it would be cool to add a self-drawing SVG animation to my portfolio, but it took some time to figure out. anime.js has this feature, but getting it to work properly and converting an image into a clean SVG paths (with the right threshold and other settings) may take some time. So I built a tool for it.

You drop in a photo or logo -> it converts it into SVG paths -> animates those paths(they draw themselves like a pen sketch)

features/how to use

• upload an image and it converts into single-color SVG line art
• choose custom path and background colors
• adjust the trace settings: threshold(usually 100 works best), invert dark/light
• control the animation: duration(in ms), delay between paths, easing, direction (forward/reverse/ping-pong), looping, fade-in fill at the end
• Export as copy-paste SVG, a downloadable SVG file, or a self-contained HTML file with everything included

Works best with illustrations, cartoons, and clean line drawings. Real-world photos can be harder to convert into clear SVG paths

Open to feedback or suggestions if you have any

As you can see the area is clearly bounded. Thanks in advance

Hello there!

I only recently found out that Instagram has changed the image aspect ratio once again. As far as I know, the new recommended size is now 3:4, which is 1080 X 1440 pixels.

From what I can see on Inkscape’s welcome screen, this change hasn’t been reflected in the program yet. It still offers 1080 X 1350 pixels for portrait images.

Do you think there’s a chance this will be updated in Inkscape soon? I’d be really happy if they could update it as soon as possible!

Thank you very much in advance for your replies!

Here is my latest vector layout practice in Inkscape: a technical icon template representing automation, settings, or data integration.

Combining the circular process nodes on the left with the gear mechanism on the right while maintaining clean geometry across the grid was a fun challenge. I had to manually adjust some nodes to make the layout feel perfectly balanced and sharp.

Would love to get some feedback! What are your favorite tricks for designing accurate gear teeth or symmetrical mechanical elements without using external plugins?

I wanted to try something interactive with Inkscape’s grid system today and designed a geometric puzzle.

Along this stepped vector contour, there are letters, numbers, and symbols perfectly aligned to the cells. If you find the right path and read them in the correct sequence, they spell out a hidden message/phrase.

Let's test your internal processing units! Drop your guesses in the comments below before checking the solution.

No cheating! 🧠👇
