I have an SX-28 board and a SX-18 board which are both 'single-sided' and without a schematic file.

I got started by just laying out parts.
The schematic file requires that you acquire some knowledge of the inventory of components and where they are.

In the beginning that can slow you down quite a bit and if you just want to draw and print something - you can skip drawing schematic.
The only thing to know is that you cannot add a schematic later.  

You must start over to properly create a schematic which then will create a board.

If you want to just create a schematic for study, try to do a simple voltage regulator layout and then have the software autoroute.
There is really not need to get hung up in something complex to do a beginning Tutorial project.
