Have you ever traced a black and white (or any single color) image and wished that you could add more colors to it? Well, with this secret Inkscape hack I’m teaching you today, you can!
Download the exact design I use in this video to follow along (PNG version for tracing)
Once you download, simply import it into Inkscape (File>Import) to get started.
Thank you.
Great information!
Glad you enjoyed it!
That’s a lot to remember for a beginner but glad I can come back and watch as many times as I want. 🙂 Thank you!!!

Yes, exactly!
This is great…but I want to add color to a drawing. (kind of like a coloring page)….and this is not helping me. Is there an easier way of doing it?
Check out the tracing lesson on the fill method in the Inkscape course. I think that may be what you’re looking for: https://members.svgandme.com/topic/tracing-fill-method/
Absolutely fabulous. How do I do multicolors on my scanncut? – like the example above with the first word on a different color? Can you please direct me to a “place” where I can be instructed on how to do it with vinyl. Someone asked me to do a logo. But a part of the logo is like the first word… Please remember that I am a beginner. Lately I have been to much on the PC with my lessons and I don’t do the practical stuff!
You can use this method to do it in Inkscape and then just save as a SVG and upload to Canvas Workspace by clicking the SVG button on the left hand menu.
