FAQ
What is a render?
A render is any object that is cut from the background of it's original picture.

Where can I find good renders?
I reccomend browsing http://planetrenders.net/

What is a C4D?
C4Ds are those "effects" that you see in most sigs and avis.They can be used to make your works look great if you know what you are doing.


I hope this will help you learn the basics of GIMP and make great artwork.(if you feel that anything needs to be added tell me)

Eh...rather short for a guide. :P You might wanna add some samples of fine GIMP work.

I know that DarkDyablo uses GIMP, I do, and some new artists. You should also add some info about stocks, layers, types of artwork ie. vector, etc.

Overall not a bad start, but it might not help too much.

I'm going to add more. If only I knew how to use gimp like DarkDyablo.

*Edit*
I have a layers guide on there It tells you all the basics of layers.
