New to GIMP, My Artwork:

[Quad]

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.

 

[Gotcha b*tch]

Yeah, switch from GIMP and Paint and download Photoshop. Learn some tutorials and after a while you should start getting better. Much more things you can do in photoshop.

What can you do in photoshop that you can't do in GIMP?

Anyway, keep having a go bud and you'll be able to do some more complicated pieces but these are good for starters.

From what I know, GIMP has almost all of the features Photoshop offers, but must be downloaded separately.

I would still recommend Photoshop for beginners simply because it is the more popular program, meaning there are far more resources, help and tutorials available.

I was messing around and here's what I made since I posted my latest work:

This is to get more used to GIMP and it's Tools

This is for a sports booker me and my friend are doing

This is what I did while watching and listening to a tutorial

Thanks. I appreciate the support.

Thanks for the feedback. And it's good to know that I'm not worse than other beginners. I have nothing against Photoshop. Photoshop, I've seen, has produced well sigs. I have alot of my friends do Photoshop or GIMP. I used GIMP so I can make some banners, because you should have seen my previous work friend, it was awful. I just got done downloading GIMP and I want to work at it and give the program a chance to increase my skill. I'd love to succeed at GIMP. And then when I feel I've done good work with GIMP, I'd look into Photoshop. But nothing against Photoshop. Also, thanks for the tip. I'll keep that in mind for my future sigs/banners.

The ones above are decent but I'm not a fan of the text. It's just what throws me off about them.

I'm not sure if it's gimp or just inexperience but I could whip up something that looks like the CM Punk one with Paint. Gradient tool>insert psd done.

Reminds me of when using Powerpoint. lol.

 

[Mikel]

I have watched a couple of tutorials and am learning the gradient tool.

Maybe if you copy and pasted the above image into paint you could.

I think that Punk one looks good.
