Wow! I wasn't expecting this to be so popular, for it's quality! It's my simplest tut,(and in my opinion, it ain't all that great) but hey, I'm glad it's been so helpful. Thanks guys!

Wow! This is a great tutorial! Thank you so much for the clear instructions and instructions for GIMP. I don't use adobe, so that makes a lot of tutorials hard for me to follow. Also, that's a really pretty forest. Are you sure this was your first tutorial?

Thanks a lot! Simple tutorials are perfect when one starts more-or-less from scratch (like me), so greatness or not, it's incredibly helpful.

(also, I came nowhere near this tutorial's level of competence, so greatness is obviously relative )

Sometimes, artists overthink things. XD I've been looking for a background tutorial, and sometimes even the simplest tutorials, advice, or otherwise can cure an artblock. So thank you! XD I wish I could add layers to my traditional art. But I'm trying to get better at digital media, and these steps are pretty helpful. Thanks. : 3

Great Tutorial, it helps really. Which Brush did you use for the leaves?

kokamo77 In reply to Arakani [2010-07-31 18:12:30 +0000 UTC]

Thanks, I'm glad it helps! I used the vine brush that comes with gimp, but you can really use anything. Painting your own leaves would be awesome too! I should have done that.

Saphiry [2010-06-27 20:34:30 +0000 UTC]

Hello. I found this tutoriali very interesting,but I've some problems with the leaves. Could you suggest me a good brush to do them,please? Thank you so much.

kokamo77 In reply to Saphiry [2010-07-31 22:22:04 +0000 UTC]

I simply used the 'vine' brush on gimp. I really don't know of many brushes, since I don't use ps and most brushes are made for it. I probably should have painted the brushes myself in this anyway.

this is quite wonderful. I love the simplicity of the descriptions and the details of the picture. who knew it could be SO EASY. Dx me being a perfectionist would be sitting there trying to draw every single branch and twig on tree and bush, lmao.

thank you for reminding me simplicity CAN be the answer!
