In this tutorial, I go over 10 things that are important to know when you’re switching from Illustrator CC 2020 to Inkscape 1.0. These differences are hard to get used to at first, but knowing them right out of the gate can save you hours of frustration and help you take full advantage of this great free alternative to Illustrator! Both programs are vector design software, best used for things like logo design, general graphic design, and scalable vector graphics.
