New to GIMP, My Artwork:

[Austin 3:16]

Yeah, try for a Photoshop crack on torrent sites. Very easy to find a version and I highly suggest using it as I said in previous posts.

As I said, when I got PS I rarely read or watched tutorials and just learned by seeing other peoples work and asking people that use it and just going through all the features after a while. It may look hard but it gets very easy once you get the hang of it.

You won't improve using GIMP or paint, I assure you. It's just easier learning Photoshop then using GIMP after a while.

I wouldn't bother doing GFX if you don't intend on using PS. It is better in every way. You can download it for free if you look hard enough.

WTF do you mean when you say it helps when people actually reply? You have had them up for 5 minutes.

Don't think you and I are gonna get along to well if you contuine to post. Then again you have only been here for 5 minutes and I've only been here for 10 and I'm not you, so to soon to judge. Carry on.

I've been a member for a while but haven't been on much, but wanting to change that. I meant it helps when people actually reply so I know what they think and giving me advice and criticism helps me as a graphic maker and make me better at everything I do. Instead of people saying "Good job" or "You suck" or don't even reply at all. My intent isn't to do Photoshop at this time, I'm just getting started with GIMP and that'll be my project for now.

You obviously haven't seen my work from Paint.NET from this past Summer. Paint.NET graphics to GIMP graphics is a huge step in improvement. I am getting familiar with GIMP as the same way you did Photoshop. And I'm not going to bail on GIMP after a couple of days, I want to get familiar with that until I look into downloading Photoshop. I might eventually down Photoshop at summer time at the earliest.

The most important part of GFX is attention to detail, so Shaqs missing head and Lebrons dot are two non-excusable mistakes.

My advice is make sure you choose a decent render to begin with. If you are missing obvious things like that you most certinaly won't spot the less obvious things you need to improve on.

[Mikel]

Actually the LeBron thing was when I was trying to familiarize with the different type of specials like Colors and stuff.

Shaq thing was the only Laker render of him I could find on PSD-Dreams.

But I'm just a starter, so I'm sure I will improve more as I go on.

GIMP isn't terrible, I've made all my sigs on GIMP and they've turned out fine. If you want to keep going, that's good. It's not a death sentence to keep using it.

[Deuce]

Just saying, but these are terrible.

Thank you, I will continue working.

I don't mind your opinion, I just want you to support it. Because saying "but these are terrible" with no backup helps me none.

There is very little technical advice I can offer because I've never used GIMP and I've heard for years that it is an inferior program. Nonetheless, most beginners regardless of software don't tend to produce higher quality work than this.

Might I ask what your objection is to Photoshop anyway? You've said you just started on GIMP and are committed to it, but I doubt you'll improve much with it as you'll hear many people say.

But as for general tips, I'd say scale down the size. When you do bigger sigs you just give yourself more akward, empty space to fill.
