In this tutorial we'll be going over how you can trace pixel art from images using Inkscape. Now there is a built-in feature for auto-tracing your pixel art, but it doesn't always produce the desired results. In these instances it would be good to know how to trace pixel art manually, which we'll be going over in today's tutorial.

The example design used in this demonstration is a stock image that I purchased from 123rf. You can purchase it here if interested: 123rf.com/photo_149633607_fox-illustration-art-fire-deer.html?vti=lmwg1u6c4b5pt92lz5-1-6
