To fix the gaps, we need to remove the stroke and then add out Outset. Fill the area and repeat this additional step for each new color and area. Click back on the fill tool and select the next color from the palette. To fill the rest of the design, click away from the design using Select and transform objects tool, or “move tool”.

To vectorize our image, first we have to open it in Inkscape. Now it’s time to clean our moff and clip it ! Thanks to the magic wand tool, you can select the areas you want to delete.
