Sites with Inkscape Tutorials

Here is a list of sites I know have Inkscape tutorials. Many of the sites listed have video tutorials and I have watched very few, as I have internet that runs slower than dial up speed most of the time. When I do have a good connection and can watch videos I go to screencasters.heathenx.org. The following list of links are the sites I know about and I am sure there are many more. If you know of any good sites I have missed let me know and I will add a link to the site.

Manuals
The first links are to manuals. These are the sites I visit regularly to learn Inkscape.

A Quick Guide to Inkscape. This link is great, especially for people new to Inkscape. It very clearly shows all the basic steps you need to learn and is very easy to understand.

Inkscape - A Guide to Vector Drawing Program. A great easy to read and understand manual for Inkscape written by Tavmjong Bah.

Graphic Designers
The next list of links are tutorials written by graphic designers who use Inkscape. All of the tutorials are great but if you are designing files for your cutter remember a graphic artist only needs to make images look like they are in one piece, if you plan to cut items they need to be in one piece. Follow the tutorials to learn how to design in Inkscape but go one step further and make the files suitable for cutting.
