The convert into bitmap thing is absolutely the life of me. I'm way too lazy to draw most things from scratch lol. Illustrator has pretty much the same tool too, I don't remember what it's called though. I also recommend downloading actual SVGs online, because there are soooo many of them available for free and since they were already made as vectors, you can basically separate the parts you need and use them without the slight distortion that convert to bitmap has. My two main sources are Wikimedia Commons (to which I've started giving back a bit recently) and OpenClipart. You know that CoA I used as a flag until a few hours ago? The ring of grain is from the CoA of china, just recolored and in solid colors rather than a gradient. Here are them both for comparasion: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ab/National_Emblem_of_the_People%27s_Republic_of_China_%282%29.svg/1024px-National_Emblem_of_the_People%27s_Republic_of_China_%282%29.svg.png Wikimedia Commons actually has a whole section of svg heraldry elements I use for flags and emblems all the time. You know how the first thing I said when I sent you a vector file was "the strokes might be screwed and I don't know why"? At this point I'm entirely convinced everyone who does any sort of design has to deal with this sort of thing and just... Improvise a bit. Sometimes I'm doing something on inkscape and suddently everything becomes mildy transparent. PS: I also found that drawing something on a very low resolution on mspaint and then converting it into bitmap on paint makes it look like my artstyle sucks a lot less than it really does.
