gem icon next to them. See our Community Forum for more information and guidance on our Premium

Get Oriented to Inkscape 

Inkscape is a free professional quality vector graphics editor. We’ve provided a little information about

Inkscape and how to install it for those who aren’t familiar with it. Once you’re done installing, go ahead

and open Inkscape.

You’ll see a screen with a lot of icons and menus. It might look a little different, so find the items we’ve

circled in red that we’ll use for this tutorial.

1. Along the left side in this picture, the tool menu offers the select tool, the circle tool, the pen

(or Bezier) tool, and the text tool.

2. Near the top, you’ll see some boxes for adjusting the height and width of shapes.

3. On the right, there’s room for several dialog boxes. If you don’t see these, you can click “View”

in the menu, then “Show/Hide Dialogs.”

4. At the bottom you’ll see the Palette. If you don’t, go to the “View” Menu, click “Show/Hide,” and

then select the “Palette.”

5. In the middle, there’s a picture of a blank page -- that’s where you’ll draw!
