Description I'm using GIMP and its a fairly interesting program to get into. Its not Photoshop, but its doable for now.
Most likely a lot of my pictures from now on will be painty like this, until I get Photoshop back. That doesn't looks too bright for my future though. Another thing is, is that I'm just now relearning how to use my tablet--and with a foreign program ran into the mix things weren't looking good for this drawing for the start. Its somewhere to begin, though.

Anyway, I have to be quick since I should get ready for the fair so I can find a ride. UHHH anyhow, this is done for a good person who I think really deserves a token of my appreciation. has done nothing lately but dearly kindle the last of my flame with loving words and empathetic gestures. She's a wonderful person, and I wish there was more I could say to show how appreciative I am.

Nice background

I've always used Gimp. When I got my tablet I started doing most pictures part in Gimp part in Krita...Krita lacks a lot of things that Gimp & Photoshop have but it's better with tablet pressure

I try to treat it as if its traditional media; perhaps do that?

I think Gimp can be a pain in the butt sometimes, but sometimes it will do. You're a natural though. I love the background, and the land below. I also really love the nice expression and shading. ^^

fatakita In reply to DaGrblz [2008-09-21 23:11:01 +0000 UTC]

You really have to get used to it.
What I like about it, though, that its very much like being in traditional media ^_^ i try to slightly treat it that way, too.

DaGrblz In reply to fatakita [2008-09-22 18:32:15 +0000 UTC]

wow, I never thought Gimp like traditional. I like its ink tool. I makes smooth lines. I'm glad it has a pen tool, unlike PS 3.0, but the lines aren't exactly smooth and it makes it pixely. xP
If you want a traditional program, I suggest ArtRage. It's free, but the only $25 dollar versioin is much better. It is seriously like traditional art. For an example check my gallery. My fave is .:Second Opinion:.

Oh gosh, GIMP is enough right now and I can't afford a penny of anything else. Perhaps you should give me a little tour of GIMP? I'm new to it, and it'd be nice to get a little insight and tips from someone who knows what they're doing

DaGrblz In reply to fatakita [2008-10-01 20:29:14 +0000 UTC]

oh, sure. I've got a file I made saved on my other computer, with all the tools and what they do, but I'm pretty sure you would already know. But I'll give it to you anyways. Just remind me lol. And you can ask me anything. XD
