#GIMP for #digitalillustration —what you don't miss:
Brush templates with custom dynamics!

Forgot what they're called in #photoshop but these are 90% what I personally used for painting #gameart back then.

Studios missing out on production sovereignty in the name of increasingly contestable industry standard.

Invest once & diversify. Take the red pill… Become future-proof.

First, panning the viewport is a good start, bcs it gives you a sense of control over your work. Here's how.

Should've done a #graphicdesign feature instead, considering our existing lessons are focused on that, but just for a general teaser:
This is how a basic rig in #Friction could work. Pretty neat stuff!

Text outline in #Gimp is a non-destructive fx now.
Yes it's already doable in… the other software since last decade, but this one has friendlier terms.

Ready to move your #graphicdesign workflow to open standard? We have the lessons in one place.

Screenshots of the same design being worked on in Scribus, Inkscape, Krita and Gimp. This is part of next video lesson in plan.

Testing colorspace conversion using #Scribus, #Krita, #Gimp 3, and back to its master environment in #Inkscape (top right). The 3 look dull because they're no longer #RGB. #Print designers know this.

#Brand designers:
If you had the reliable substitute for your software, would you put up w/ the old ways just because it's "standard"? Not to mention aggressive #terms nibbling at your feet.

Meet you on the other side.

"GIMP s**ks! Can't even do the most basic thing I need it to."

We know…we relate 😅

Here is how to make a selection in #Gimp.
Might already solve 80% of your to-do list.

#Opensource vector graphics tool can convert primitives into paths for advanced treatment. Just like other professional tools known in the market.

It is liberating to have a good software in the toolbox, even if only as backup.

Amidst prepping for next lesson video, an #interactive CV was completely designed in #Figma to see how #Penpot handles import. Some interesting discoveries. The latter is still a capable option for #prototyping.

Graphics designers,
Invest in making your creative workflow less reliant on what the monopoly wants for you as standards. Diversifying from #adobe #illustrator is inevitable.

#FOSSgfx #GraphicsDesign lesson is for aspiring designers who wish to be able to do more than #Canva, and those w/ prior experience with design tools who wish to be less dependent on bigbro's products. Link in bio.

We heard that #GIMP 3 stable is finally out just a few hours ago? So dramatic, right after our Early Access offer ends!

An animated feature made with #Blender winning #Oscar destroys the myth that if a software is free to use it's gotta be subpar.

Talent's knowhow is the name of the game—if you know how to use it for your case that's all that matters.

The 3rd video is to go through some polish, sort out the hosting, then Early Access can go live… watch this space 🤩

Video coming to a wrap! Just a lil final touch.

Maybe a softlaunch for the first lesson release. Design a brochure not using #Illustrator and maintain your creative workflow's sovereignty. Yes it's doable.

This is the workspace of audio software Tenacity, a fork of the famous Audacity, while working on the voiceover—yes, we actually use FOSS in production!

Next lesson video in progress.
Raw VO recording takes are 7 sessions, as I took breaks in between, part of techniques to reduce clicking sound 😇

GIMP - Development Downloads The actual page content for /downloads/devel/ has been moved into its own template file at ./themes/newgimp/templates/downloads-development.html. If you want to edit the text of the /downloads/devel/ ...

This is a great milestone!
Although it comes in Flatpak & the prospect of it overriding the existing #Gimp v2.10's workspace settings prohibits us from giving it a run atm. Can't wait for stable release. If you're on Win/Mac, go for it.

Workspace of MyPaint software run on Linux, with a demo of a comics interior page in progress. Brush tip & size can be saved as "favorite" to be summoned for performing specific tasks, e.g. we want the same stroke width (and even color) for the comics panel frame.

Did a quick investigation on whether #MyPaint can be used for #comics #art & how it fares on technical aspects e.g. deploying panel frames, export settings etc.
This at one point needs to be in the curriculum👍
