can someone PLEASE make some sort of watermark tutorial for GIMP? or a coloring tutorial? or even just a layers help guide? I've tried reading the online help-thing. it really sucks. I can't understand it. I really want to start putting some watermarks on some of my stuff before the drawing day hits. please someone take pity on a woe-ful incompetent idiot.

The method I've been using so far is Layers → New Layer.

Then I go into the module box that has all the layers. I decrease the watermark layer's opacity a bit. (It's one of the options above the list of layers.) Then, I go back into the artwork, and draw on my watermark.

Did that help? [>_>;]

lol [emoticon]

I think I'll also create tutorials on how to crop and cleanup artwork. There are too many drawings being deleted from our site just because they can't meet our presentation requirements. Once we have a tutorial up there will be no more excuses [emoticon]

Actually, I was about to try yours when I saw BR's. I'm just very hard to teach.
