Older, still useful
- A long beginner series — recorded on an earlier version, so a few dialogs look different, but the drawing logic still holds.
- More recordings uploaded by individual artists to the galleries on this site
Books and printed manuals
- The full keyboard shortcut reference, worth keeping open while you practise
- A short shelf of books covering vector drawing with Inkscape in depth
