Gimp 101: Draw.

What exactly do you want to learn? GIMP is pretty massive and serves different purposes. There docs are pretty thorough on basics.
https://docs.gimp.org/2.8/en/

Mostly the purpose of the different tools for now. Later i would like to go into drawing some anime/manga stuff with proper coloring. But without knowing much about the basic tools at all i don't think it would be useful to start directly with it.

Unless you have a Drawing Tablet - you can't really draw anime with a mouse. Best option is to draw it in pencil and scan it in. Then use pen tool as overlay to define lines and color it.

Great Timelapse video of it in action - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOXrAQhShDk

I mostly just try things randomly and hope for the best...

i bought such a tablet today to finally get into that stuff. Thanks for the link. I'll take a look after i slept ^-^

I suggest checking this out - it is one of the oldest most famous guides to anime drawing on PC. http://www.polykarbon.com/tutorials/

:o that's pretty cool. I guess this will help me a lot. Thank you \o/

Gimp is one of my favorite programs ever, but I'm not sure I could teach it well. Its like all new software, you just stumble around until you're creating things you like xD

Best of luck!
