In this video I’ll be explaining all 21 Inkscape tools and uses, along with a brief demonstration of how they work. Inkscape has much more to offer than just the 21 tools located in its toolbar, but this guide should serve as a good starting point for understanding the basics of Inkscape if you’re new to the software.
