As drawn from scratch it would still contain thousands of paths. Making it as high resolution raster image (GIMP, Photoshop) is easier, but it's still a major task. A beginner needs years for developing the needed drawing skills if he's going to make all details from scratch. Only in a lucky case effects or clipart will make a part of it. A competent art painter with no software skills can learn to use programs well enough in months. | |

| Apr 10, 2022 at 23:35 | comment | added | Billy Kerr | Hmmm . . . it's possible to do colour traces in Inkscape, but that image isn't really suitable for vector tracing. It will create literally thousands of paths and tens of thousands of nodes. I tried it and it makes Inkscape extremely slow, and the SVG is huge around 14MB and it doesn't look very good. see screenshot here. The screenshot also shows the colour trace settings I used. | |
| Apr 10, 2022 at 22:50 | comment | added | Scott | Not all formats are suitable for all images. That image is never going to be a viable SVG vector. The only possibility would be to manually redraw the image as desired There's far too much detail in subtle mid-tones for any auto-tracer/converter to see things properly. | |
