Today we are going to create a glossy bolt in the Gimp. This tutorial is inspired off of a Photoshop tutorial by Constantin Potorac at Tutorial9.net. Let’s get started!

Step 1

Open up the Gimp and create a new white document that is 600×1000 (portrait) pixels in size. Create a new layer and name it “lightening_base.” Using the Paths Tool, create a lightening bolt shape like below. Just click for the separate points. Close the path by holding the CTRL key and clicking on the last point that will connect to the end. In the Tool Options box, hit the Selection from Path button. Your path will turn into a selection.

Step 2:

To start with, I’ll say that most of the steps needed for the tutorial are quite easy, and just some few things will need a workaround to get it working with gimp. We’ll start duplicating the original layer. Then desaturate it, and adjust brightness/contrast. read more

Hello and welcome to my Gimp tutorial. My name is Jacob Philpott and I am a graphic designer Today we are going to learn how to make a photo-manipulation using an eye free stock, I hope you enjoy my tutorial!.

1. Open up the eye stock image provided here. Credit of the stock belongs to soraneko. Resize and sharpen the image to an appropriate size. Now use the clone tool and get rid of the glare in the pupil.

2. Duplicate the layer and erase every part of the image except for the eye. You can do this using the plain eraser tool or use different tools if you prefer. Now change the top layer’s mode to “Dodge”. If when you erase the top layer you get a color, then go to Layer>Transparency>Add Alpha Channel. read more
