GIMP: First Project – Drawing Technique

GIMP Project Level: Beginner

The completed first project is taken from the book Beginning GIMP: From Novice To Professional Copyright by Akkana Peck, APRESS.

The author was right. Drawing a tree as she puts it;

“is fairly simple and doesn’t require a lot of art experience”

and most of all the techniques used for this drawing are valuable skills for a starting GIMP user.
