Introduction
Over the years I have produced a range of tutorials on artistic use of the computer. Most of them concerns rather general concepts and can hopefully give something regardless of which program you are using or even be of some interest for traditional, non-digital artists. Some examples of my art can be found in the gallery.
That said, to get the most out of these you should know that I mainly use the open-source image manipulation program GIMP. I also work a lot with the painter program MyPaint. These are both very powerful programs capable of great artistic expression. Being open-source programs, they are both legally free to download and use without any cost. They exist for many platforms, including Linux, Mac and Windows, so they are worth trying out if you haven't already.
The tutorials listed below tend are (ver

Is there a way to scan an already drawn pic and turn the linework blue with GIMP so I can print it and manually ink? Thank you for any assistance...

What do you think about this type of tutorial? do you prefer more tutorials but in fast way? or more elaborated but slower? let me know it.

Most really useful GIMP tutorials I've come across have been short and to the point. Usually following a very long tutorial I lose it or make a mistake along the way. This one was nice, although for lack of tablet I sketch on paper my usual solution was copies of each important layer invisible and stashed at the bottom. Your trick sounds neat. That from an amateurs point of view
