To introduce yourself to Inkscape, you should first understand the difference between a raster and a vector graphics image/program. See this short chapter [http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/Introduction-VectorGraphics.html] in the book listed below. This is a decent introduction to the idea. Second, you should go through the first three tutorials in Inkscape (see the Tutorials section 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 [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEQXp_fcqwPcqrzNtWJ1w9w Logos by Nick].

Sometimes, it seems that Inkscape can open up windows off of the screen. This is particularly annoying. A [https://logosbynick.com/inkscape-window-off-screen/ 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 [https://logosbynick.com/inkscape-window-off-screen/ link] if this is unclear - there are pictures there :)
