Traditional Art first attempt at gimp

this is a pic i colored on gimp.
its the first time i used it, so its not to good...

 

If you drew that,you have some talent.
just try practice some more okay?
^^
oh by the way,nice colouring
^_^

 

thnx :D im not too good at drawing, this is probably one of the best pics ive done.

 

Suggestion: Find the burn tool and work with that, it takes a while to get used to it, but it is used to shade and shadow parts of the image, keep it around 50% and just experiment with it. Also use the Blur, Smudge, and Sharpen Brush, they are a little odd to learn but it will give the pic more depth instead of flat looking. Just keep working at it, you will get it.

 

thnx for the help. i tried using blur and smudge but as you can see it didnt do too much.

 

I don't think the blur and smudge are to much to worry about, I think mostly adding depth with the burn tool will help alot though, and you just need to play with the strength of it to see what works.
