Begin drawing

• Click the fill color tool and slide the fill-opacity slider all the way left, now the fill-color should be transparent.

• Click the stroke color tool [More > stroke color], and set it to any convenient color. e.g., for contrast.

• Similarly, set stroke width as per convenience.

• Keep adding strokes, and finish the drawing.

Exporting

• Click the “Select” tool and select the entire image.

• Click the “Resize” tool and pull the bottom-right corner to resize the icon to fit the canvas perfectly.

• From the navigation pane, select “Export” > SVG > turn off “include background color”
