Training

To introduce yourself to Inkscape, you should first understand the difference between a raster and a vector graphics image/program. See this short chapter [1] in the book listed below. This is a decent introduction to the idea. Second, you should go through the first three tutorials listed below. You could then walk through the videos shown below to see an explanation of most every function within Inkscape. To dig further, it would be best to watch experts use Inkscape. A good starting point are the vast number of examples presented by Logos by Nick.

Tutorials

There are some good tutorials on the Inkscape Website. These tutorials can also be accessed from the Help->Tutorials->(Tutorial) from within Inkscape. by doing this, you can work through the tutorial directly. You should go through the first three tutorials to get the idea of how Inkscape works (Basic, Shapes, Advanced).

Sometimes, it seems that Inkscape can open up windows off of the screen. This is particularly annoying. A solution is to make sure that the Inkscape icon is selected in your taskbar, and then press Alt+Spacebar. This will open up a menu - select Maximize and press enter. This should bring the window back on screen. Check the above link if this is unclear - there are pictures there :)

Books

The Inkscape Website list some books - including some free ones - like this one - Inkscape, A Guide to a Vector Drawing Program, 4th Edition.

Videos

There are many video tutorials about inkscape. One of the best ways to learn is by doing projects. Some of our favorite tutorials are from Logos by Nick.

There is an excellent series (about 2 hours worth) where he goes through most every command in Inkscape and shows examples of what each one does.
