Learning GIMP


Many years ago, one of my arts teachers in high school said that I was not painting but drawing with color. Well, he was right, but I thought he meant that I should paint and remember having felt offended as a sensitive cancer. I thought that I was not talented enough to go to arts school and studied engineering instead:)
This is painted on one of my pictures using my tablet (birthday present from my boyfriend) and GIMP. Since one week I was going through the online tutorials and at the end I think I know a bit more about layers. Using gradient fill was already exciting but my discovery of gaussian blur for the skin was really sugar on top!
