QUESTION

I feel intimidated in learning TikZ. I was wondering if there are some nice materials (or just your replies) at different level:

for providing big picture, which is important to beginners to not lose direction during learning.
for comprehensive reference.

Examples are important, but only examples are not always clear for understanding the big picture and organization.

ANSWER

I learned through just the manual. It starts with great tutorials. I highly recommend it.
