Davies Media Design | How to Stroke Shapes in GIMP | GIMP Basics for Beginners @DaviesMediaDesign | Uploaded 2 years ago | Updated 2 minutes ago
In this GIMP basics tutorial, I show you how to draw and stroke shapes using GIMP's built-in features. I show you how to stroke both a square and a circle (or ellipse), and to draw your strokes on separate layers. This is a great way to create frames or to stylize your shapes drawn with GIMP's shape selection tools. If you're looking to outline squares, rectangles, or circles in GIMP, this is the tutorial for you! Plus, it is step-by-step and made to be beginner-friendly.
