Inkscape Tutorials

The Inkscape community has produced a vast volume of tutorials over the years.  At this writing more than 95% are made by Inkscape users, and scattered hither and yon across the internet.  The only truly official tutorials are those packaged with the program, which you can find in the Help menu > Tutorials.

Here we want to make a collection of new official tutorials, officially-endorsed tutorials, and user-recommended tutorials, which have been provided by community members, and reviewed for content and presentation. Inkscape users can depend on them being of high quality.

Official Tutorials

These are tutorials from the Inkscape project.  In general, they provide the most basic or most essential information, which is needed by most Inkscape users, at some point.  These are recommended for all users.  There are three general categories.

Packaged with Inkscape

These tutorials are actually packed with Inkscape, where they are interactive.  But we have them linked below as static copies.  The first three are highly recommended for beginners, titled Basic, Shapes, and Advanced.  (Don't worry, the one named Advanced isn't really.  It's an introduction to the most basic elements of vector graphics (paths).)  The others cover specific features, which you can use as needed.
