The first step is to get your bitmap, whether you create it yourself, or download it, and trace it into a set of vectors using the Inkscape ‘trace bitmap’ tool.

Traditional artists who prefer sketching on paper or in raster software like Photoshop can easily convert their work into vector art using Inkscape's Trace Bitmap feature.

You can also trace bitmap images into vectors using the "Trace Bitmap" function. This feature alone makes it incredibly useful for converting logos, sketches, or clipart into engravable line art.
