Thank you very much, I love your work man Your aspect of dealing with gimp is way more professional than any other channel on youtube so far. I look forward to take a course with you
Very good tutorial, I always learn something new with your tutorials even though sometimes I feel I already know I to do some of them, you use techniques and functions I wasn't aware of in Gimp. One tip, if your logo is flat, you can import it in Inkscape and convert it to vector and resize it to pretty much any sizes without loss in quality. As long as the design is flat, without gradient or very small details it'll look perfect. I'm more comfortable in Gimp than Inkscape so when I create my logo I use Gimp and then convert them in Inkscape. Easy and free! ;-)
Awesome Dude! You are the Gimp master!
Thx for your videos. Just starting to learn and they are very helpful. Yay Colorado!!

A little late to the party, but I'm loving this tutorial.
I don't have selection to path where you are and it's hard to find in the software how do I get this toolbox layout that you specifically have so I can follow the tutorial? I was doing fine until you went to selection of path and there's nothing there for me lol
2:28 great tip
I can't make the light shadow I have followed exactly what you did but no light shadowing... ?

Hey Michael, When I (ALT-Click) it doesn't create a selection from the path, do i need to change something in preferences? I'm using the latest version of Gimp 2.10.10 in linux mint ? Thanks, love your videos!

Can someone help me with installing fonts? Mine will never load into gimp. I follow all directions everyone gives, and they show up in my computer fonts, but they don’t show up in gimp.

Check out this article. I just added a new step to the bottom if your fonts still aren't showing up: daviesmediadesign.com/how-to-install-fonts-in-gimp/
Hi, I'm back, having another attempt at Gimp after a few years. I have followed everything you have said up until you said, Alt & click on the inner circle. I did this in order to remove the bottom mountain, and I should have had the option to shrink the inner circle. Shrink isn't an option. It won't let me. Just wondering if I've missed something? I'm running the latest version of Gimp 2.10.28. Instead what I did was create another circle and aligned it to the original inner circle and used layer mask to get rid of the bottom. Am I the only one who struggles with this? Thanks man

Hey! So I had a similar problem, I solved it by using Fuzzy Select Tool to select the inner circle. Then I right-clicked the mountains layer and clicked "Add Layer Mask" and it worked :) I hope this helps even tho it's been 2 months now
Oh man, i started with the left foot. I wanted to added the guide line by % but when i click the option window doesn´t show up. Does anybody know why?

Is it just me or does his Udemy course get more expensive each video?

Lol that’s Udemy - they run different sales so the price displays on their end differently each recording. If you use the coupon codes in the link (assuming I’ve remembered to add them for the video) the course is a lot cheaper than Udemy‘s price
