The next step is to add color to your SVG in Inkscape. (Again, this is easier to follow in the video)Īfter you’re all done drawing, you can convert your lines to shapes, and then combine all of those shapes into a single shape. You’ll need to click & drag to create your curves, and then right-click whenever you’re ready to end your stroke. It may seem weird at first, but once you get used to it, it will become second nature. This allows you to use the mouse to draw. To create the single-color outline, you can draw your artwork using the bezier tool. Next, add a second layer (you can name it something like “vector drawing”), to do your vector drawing on. Set up your layer that contains the sketch as a sketch layer – in other words, lock the layer, and lower the opacity so that you can draw over it more easily. Then, the two panels I always like to have open are layers (Layer → Layers) and appearance (Object → Fill and Stroke). I always like to start by importing a sketch that I can then trace over. It will probably be easier to watch my video tutorial on creating a single color SVG for the first step, but I’ve also outlined the steps below. It really just depends on how detailed you want to get with it.
Of course, you can do just the first step if all you want is a simple, single-color SVG. I’ve broken the process up into three steps – Creating the outline, then adding the color, and finally adding text. Inkscape is a great free program you can use so that you can create perfect SVGs for Cricut Design Space, that you can then use yourself, or sell on Etsy or other digital resource sites!
There are a lot of little nuances when creating an SVG for Cricut.
