GIMP Tutorial :) (body onaly)

i decided to make a tutorial on gimp because so many people were asking for one and there were non. its my first tuto, sorry if it is kinda confusing.
folow links, sory still cant up load to photobucket (its getting realy anoying!!)

#1 choose base, and colors (for the body choose about 5 shades of the same color for body), fill in coat. then with the darkest shade of the coat highlight the black lines with one of the bigger circle brushed (depending on size of the coat)

#6 (this may be confusing) (Smudg with the same sized brush you were using) ZOOM IN. look at the way the colors are going if there are lines going up and down smudge up and down untill colors are smooth, do the same thing if they are going in other directings but folow the direction of the color.

lil lazy on the legs, you can usualy use the smuge brush to fill in the gaps.

Likes Cinnomoney! Pretty but kinda fuzzy!

Love it

the eye on that horse is the best eye i have hever done i just relized lol

cool

thanks! i color a bit differently now though i use les of the smuge brush and bore of the blue brish to blend.

At first, I thought; whaa?
But now i understand now the pics actually show. Nice tutorial, i think there's only yours, mine and this other persons (cant remember who!) who have done tutorials on GIMP! We should get medals!
hehe!

Finished Product, and i'm pleased!



I had abit of a prob though, as whenever I wanted to see it it can out in a straight line, like all shoved together, but in photobucket or GIMP, it's normal!
Any ideas?

don't quite understand..
