Drawing

Summary

Now you know how to draw on layers, and have an idea when to make a new layer. You can draw lines, curves, and shapes such as rectangles and circles, and you can outline them or fill them. You’ve seen the various types of brushes GIMP offers, and how to use them with each of GIMP’s painting tools. Finally, you’ve learned techniques of drawing, shading, filling with patterns, and using the Perspective Transform tool to model real-world objects.

You can use these techniques to draw just about anything you can think of. Just use a little patience, and a lot of layers.

Armed with this knowledge, it’s time to go back to looking at photographs and learning how to select specific pieces so that you can use them in your own projects.
