Thus I hope that by providing some information on my own efforts in learning how to use Inkscape I can also help teach others in improving their own skill. However I have yet to find a good tutorial on how to use Inkscape aimed for beginners. It is my opinion that vector art is extremely well suited to the beginner artist who is comfortable with using computers. In particular, I'm hoping this will be of use to game programmers who need "programmer art" for their games. Oh wait, you mean what is the point for you to read these tutorials? Well, these tutorials are primarily aimed towards helping beginners to becoming better artists. Finally the idea of writing these tutorials seemed like a lot of fun! As well as that I also get some experience in tutorial writing always a handy skill to have. Plus I get to draw lots of neat art for the tutorials and so get some more general art practice. While I still consider myself a beginner at art (and I probably always will), I thought creating a series of tutorials would help further my own art abilities as they say, the best way to truly learn a subject is to attempt to teach it to others.

However I have always been in awe of the work of great artists and as a hobby have decided to put in the effort to try and improve my own skill. In fact, I have a software engineering and computer science background. I have to be honest with you: I am by no means a master at using Inkscape or art in general. A BRIEF INTRODUCTION: WHAT IS THE POINT OF THESE TUTORIALS?
