Today I’ll be sharing a pack of 12 free flat style vector avatar faces that you can download and edit however you’d like. There’s also a video tutorial at the top of the page demonstrating how to create some avatars of your own using Inkscape.

Flat Vector Avatars

Learning how to create these faces in Inkscape is just a matter of working with basic shapes like squares, circles, and polygons. You can then add colors and accent pieces of your choosing.

Here’s a breakdown of the steps taken to create a male face. As you can see, each shape is created individually and layered on top of each other.

In addition to the shape tools, you’ll also have to supplement with other tools like the Bezier Pen and the Nodes tool in order to have more granular control of the shapes of your objects. In the video tutorial at the top of the page I also used the new Corners path effect from Inkscape version 1.0.

Here’s another breakdown demonstrating how to design a female avatar…
