    You do SUCH a good job of not assuming that people already know certain things. You explain it just in case. As a beginner, this is so comforting. Thank you!

      Yeah it's frustrating to see so many tutorials that assume so much pre-requisite knowledge. I love Nick's tutorials

    Great video, a few workflow tips.
    1. ctrl-shift-a to select none.
    2. Instead of making two rects/circles, you can use select-shrink to clear the inside of a selection. It also allows you to control the size of the border with pixel precision.

    Thank you for putting all this free content out here. I have NEVER done ANY design work and I've watched and worked along with two of your videos and created both images. I am so excited to keep learning and creating!

    This is the best GIMP tutorial I have seen on youtube so far. Also explains a lot about how layers work in GIMP. Thank you.

  • @mammi7699
    @mammi7699 4 года назад +7

    I really appreciated the fact that while this tutorial and the logo we are making is super simple and easy, it tremendously focuses on how the layer mechanics work. Im amazed by how helpful this is, you earned a serious subscriber sir!🔥🔥🔥

    Thank you for the videos that you post. They are very informative and a big help. But I am stuck on a problem. I want to curve, or rather, I want to bow some text that I am putting on the side of cylinder. I am creating a coin roll ( like a roll of pennies) and I want my text to curve to show the roundness of the roll. I haven't been able to figure out how to do that. Can you help? Many thanks.

    It's impressive that you can do it (and have patience) in Gimp, but I would encourage people to do this kind of jobs in vectors - let's say in Inkscape.
