Well, I've been using the GIMP for a few weeks and am not what perfect at using it yet, but I've covered the basics and want to learn how to make those avatars or icons that everyone uses. Does anyone know of a good, easy to understand tutorial for making nice looking graphics?
 
I've never used a tut to make anything I do.

Just experiment. You've got the basic tools, now build on what you know through trial and error. View other's work, and get ideas, then make something you like.
 
Well, that's how I learned to use my previous photo-editing program and the basics of GIMP, but GIMP on my computer can be finicky and buggy and more often than not I'll experiment like that for an hour only to have my picture closed without warning. It gets discouraging. Plus, I'm always seeing the great graphics used on the forums I frequent and the fact that they usually blow anything I can make with GIMP out of the water make me think that I definitely could do better that what I do now with some guidance. That doesn't mean I'll stop trying the trial and error method, though. Thanks.
