Description This tutorial is from 2013 but I thought I'll share it anyways as it still may be helpful for some of you. And besides, the other tutorial  I have in my DeviantArt gallery - is even older!
The original post is located here - link
Original description:
I after I got one message about my “smooth” shading method with using default settings only, I decided to make another tutorial thingy. So I paintined something quick with the round brush. The last tutorial  was done 2 years ago; generally I treat my videos as a tutorials because you can see the process and all tool settings at one time, you can pause the video and see the parts which you are interested the most. I use GIMP 2.6.7 with GPS downloaded, Wacom Bamboo Fun tablet. And mouse.

This is a painting tutorial, not a drawing tutorial. It doesn’t show the one and only way to create art. It only shows one way I like to use often. And even if I often use the default round brush and settings, that doesn’t mean I don’t use other brushes or settings. Whenever I need to, I use texture brushes and layer adjustments. Also, please keep in mind that I’m not native English speaker: there may be errors.

What isn’t shown here is that I do a lot of flips and I paint details on zoomed in picture. Those who watch my YouTube videos may notice that I tend to flip my paintings left, right, paint upside down etc.

In the first picture I translated names for some more important tools/settings, so you shouldn’t be confused. I hope the translation is accurate. I may upload this thing on my DeviantArt.

If you have questions, please refer to my FAQ  please.

Dzięki za tutorial sam zacząłem dopiero eksperymentować z rysowaniem i gimpem niedawno wiec nie za bardzo ogarniam większości z tego, co tu jest, ale z pewnością się przyda.

This is super helpful! Thanks ^.=.^

I recently made a request on GIMP for a friend and I feel that it came out a mess for me. I'm still figuring out how to make the lines so smooth

very interesting to see how you color that way I've never considered a technique like this before since I use to fill my drawingobject with a single color and then paint over it. but I think I'll give it a try, the result is just great!
