How to vector a sketch from A to Z (part 1)

Embed is probably the equivalent of incorporate, so choose that.

Hum perhaps it would be easier for you to watch a video tutorial instead, to get a demonstration.
Here : [link] made a series of tutorials for inkscape beginners. The first video should help you get the hang of the tools.

Thanks.

Oh right I didn't see that option.
That's pretty neat, thanks.

My very first vector took me a while to finish too, you just need a little patience to finaly get the hang of it.

Yes.

This is a lot easier when you have those strokes in different groups (Ctrl+G), because then you can select a whole group by one click. The other useful thing is using layers, but don't use too much layers when not needed (e.g. for hiding some parts of the image is OK, but for other things it's enough to have them on one layer and use the Z-order of groups inside of it).

I often start by making all strokes belonging to one group (e.g. the body strokes) on one layer, because then it's easier to select them all (there's a button which selects all objects on a particular layer). And when I finish, I group them together, send them to another common layer and reuse the "working" layer to make another group of strokes (e.g. the mane).

The same way you would select several document at once : click and drag.
