Information
      Easter decorations are of course a must for spring. So here's a little project with a chick.
    
Instruction
1
Step1: insert picture of an egg
Preview

Insert a picture of an egg, which can be traced in the next step.

2
Step2: trace the image
Preview

To have the egg as a vector graphic, you can have this traced.

3
Step3: delete excess line
Preview

As the egg here has two lines, you can click on a line with the Node Edit and by clicking on the points they can be removed with the delete button.

4
Step4: add breakout contour
Preview

To create a breakout, a contour is added here using the line tool. The contour must be closed before the next step can be taken.

5
Step5: copy for later use
Preview

The egg is copied for a subsequent step.

6
Step6: substract the contour
Preview

The contour of the breakout is subtracted from the egg (Boolean operation substract).

7
Step7: place the chick
Preview

The copied egg is turned over and a circle is added as a head for the chick.

8
Step8: merge
Preview

First, the copied egg and the circle are merged together. Then the resulting chick is merged with the egg.

9
Step9: add score contours
Preview

The vector (pencil) function is used to manually add contours, which are then scored.

 

10
Step10: add filling contours
Preview

Add 2 more triangles for the beak (arranged mirror-inverted). Circles are used for the eyes, in which smaller circles are subtracted.

11
Step11: touch up with node edit
Preview

Finally, you can use the node editing function again to move the points to achieve a good result.

And here is the finished project. Have fun with it.
