Creating a heart shape in Inkscape can be achieved by using basic shapes and path operations.
Here's one method based on combining rectangles and path differences:
- Draw two rectangles: Create two rectangles that overlap slightly at the bottom.
- Select both rectangles: Use the select tool to select both rectangles.
- Apply Path Difference: Go to
Path > Difference
. This will cut off the bottom portion of the first rectangle. This should leave a shape vaguely resembling the top halves of a heart. - Rotate: Click on the object again to get the rotation handles. Rotate to the desired position.
