Blender has the donut tutorial. What is the donut standard tutorial for inkscape, gimp and krita?
Three other family members and myself have at almost the same time and for completely different reasons became interested in or needed to become acquainted with image art of some form.
I wanted to find "The Tutorial" to share with everyone so we could relate bettter.
The Inkscape tutorials are included in Inkscape's standard help menu and particularly cool... Because they're actually all Inkscape documents.
So when the tutorial can just tell you to click and rotate the rectangle just below and you can just do that.
That's pretty neat, and it's a pity that it just isn't possible or as easy in other kinds of programs.
I like that. Tutorials that are like looking through a clarification window to the documentation itself.
Takes great documentation, forethought and organization.
So that's a good sign.
Yeah, but in many kinds of applications you simply can't easily build a file that seamlessly combines documentation and content.
When it's possible, it's truly the most awesome way to implement a tutorial.
Vim has that same kind of tutorial, that you can access right within the application. Such a nice feature.
I didn't know that about Inkscape, now I really want to try that one.
So does emacs 😝🤣

This channel is a true gem
For Inkscape it's "Logo's by Nick" on YouTube
I haven't come across a single tutorial that 'unlocks' GIMP for new users (if I'm reading your question correctly) but I've found Davies Media Design to be an excellent resource for video tutorials, both free and paid. Also Bernard Hooft has provided a free video course and book.
Be aware that lots of learning resources are being updated after the 3.0 release, so some tutorials may no longer be valid.
Krita does not need a tutorial before using. If you don't know about a specific subject about Krita, e.g. reference image, just watch a random video on YouTube.
Also check out their official documentation. https://docs.krita.org/en/user_manual.html
And this community. https://krita-artists.org/
There are also training materials (art, not software) you can buy while supporting the project. https://krita.org/en/shop/
That's not the point. You can say the same about Blender, etc.
