Titanic, I cant say I have only used photoshop A small amount...but have used GIMP for years...long before I got a tablet....I would say they are very close, I think what ever you can do in GIMP you can do in Photoshop and vice versa...except Photoshop may have more options....but there is a mod that you can down load for GIMP that is quite cool...it gives you a new brush that actually works the way a paint brush works...as far as mixing color that is already laid down...so say you lay out some yellow....if you take purple and paint over it, it will change to brown.....
it works very similar to actual Paint.....
say if you want flesh tones...mixing green and red will give you a brown...adding white to that will give you a perfect flesh....
all complementary colors do that
red+green= brown
yellow+purple = brown
Blue+Orange= brown
yet all three browns are slightly different..this is more useful in actual painting..but something you should know, if ya wanna be an artist....
don't limit yourself to just one medium....A true "artist" should be able to work in any medium...
if you find yourself having a hard time getting proportions down right, A VERY good trick is using squares...get yourself a piece of clear plastic and score 1/4" squares on it in rows.....now take your paper and draw very light 1" squares on it, place your picture you want to draw under the clear plastic...and then just worry about drawing what is in one square at a time...you could go as far as take measurements and just times them by four on your drawings.....
another thing that is not so time consuming as drawing out all those squares...say you are drawing a face....but the nose is giving you issues, just take a piece of paper and mark on the Paper the length of the eye, from corner to corner...then compare it to the length of the nose...now on your drawing compare the length of the eye to the nose the same way you did on the pic you are drawing....
remember Practice practice practice
