Complete 'Digital Painting' and 'GIMP' Tutorialby *crystal-89

Resources & Stock Images / Tutorials / Digital Art / Drawing & Painting / The Gimp

Edit* A DD? OH my goodness. THANK-YOU so, so much to everyone! This is incredible and now it's all thanks to you beautiful people for inspiring me. Many thanks to *EternalRC, ~Art-Recale, *FlirtingWithInsanity and ^Elandria - this means more than words can say.

Download for full view! Refresh page if does not appear, it will take a while, its very big, im sorry.

Simplified Version:

In this tutorial:

Overview of all icons and the basic functions in the GIMP menu.

Brush and colour palette basics

Backgrounds

Skin tone painting and colours

How to paint Eyes

How to paint Noses

How to paint Mouths

How to paint Hair

Layer modes and highlights.

Contains bad humour.

Okay, as promised, I have brought you my MASSIVE digital painting and GIMP tutorial. I have spent the last week putting together this monster for you guys.

I'm sorry its so big, I just had so much I wanted to say. And at the end of the day, you can choose what you read. It is basically just a overview of everything so you can read as little or as much as you want.

I have used my latest digital painting Rapunzel to demonstrate painting the facial features and background.
Additionally I have added a realistic imaginative example of painting features.

If you have any questions, pleaaasse comment, some of my wording may be a little vague or chatty, so I'm happy to clarify, or try to answer other questions.

Thanks so much, hope it helps.

Crystal/ Natalie.
