Turning Filled Shapes into Editable Lineart

Inkscape Mini Video Tutorial

In this mini tutorial, I show three different approaches on how to turn filled vector shapes into editable lineart.

Once an illustration is converted from strokes to path [or purchased as filled shapes rather than lines with strokes] there is no one-click solution to go back to easily editable lines. I recorded three ways: manual trace with the pen and node tool, bitmap trace using the centreline option, and cutting the existing vector shapes and using half of the shapes to create the lines.

Learn how to approach the different workflows to avoid headaches and get quick, clean, and editable results.
