learning curve

Crude, right?

But this represents:

1. my first image created in GIMP – it’s about time!
2. use of scissors tool to select a recognizable bird shape out of a very fuzzy photo
3. demonstration of ability to copy shape into a separate image
4. use of stroke tool to create a white outline – a technique I have wanted to learn for a long time
5. an export to PNG

A lot of learning. I wanted to make a seagull brush, but that is a task for another day in GIMP.
