Check the video tutorial to learn how to create 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…

This may not be the best place to ask this, but I was wondering if you minded if I give you a shout out in my upcoming video on the Remote Japan YouTube channel. Since finding your tutorials, I decided to do an entire video using only Inkscape illustrations. My channel is new and doesn’t have a big audience, but i’d still like to say thanks for your videos that can be seen by others who are not in the know.
Regardless of your answer, big thanks for what you’ve shown myself and all your followers. -

Been gettin stuck into your videos. So easy to follow and pick up on what’s happening.
One thing that I haven’t run across yet is making text 3D wrap around a globe, like the Daily Planet logo. I know Inkscape doesn’t do motion, I just want to get that effect where it looks like it is in mid orbit.-

I may do a tutorial about that soon. That’s a good idea!

Hi!
Thanks a lot Nick!One question : I’ve followed the tuto but on the last step I cannot make a rounded extremity when I cut patch of the hair shadow effect. Any idea to resolve that?

Yes, in the fill & stroke menu, look under the stroke tab for an icon that says rounded cap.

I like how he works so hard to make these templates and yet it is free I like that and I have used these in ppts, canva videos, posters, etc. they are simple yet look so nice and the colors are pleasant I like your colour selection.
