| I would love to help people by making tutorials, instead of just showing them step-by-step photos and explaining, it would be much easier to make a tutorial. So this might sound a bit odd, but does anyone have a tutorial (or can make/explain how to) on how to make a tutorial? | |

| This is how I make a tutorial on GIMP. 1. Go up to "File" and click "New". Then, change the dimensions to the desired size (landscape or portrait, etc.) I make it "background colour", and click "Submit".
2. I pick a colour that I want my tutorial to be, then click the bucket-fill tool. I click the picture to fill the whole rectangle in with my chosen colour.
3. I then choose a font (or download one on www.dafont.com) that looks cool to me for the title, i.e. "How to photo-manipulate", "How to digital paint", "How to paint a mane", etc.
4. Once the title is on the image, I make a little introduction paragraph, i.e. "Welcome to my tutorial on how to photo-manipulate. I hope it's helpful [...]" and so on.
5. It's pretty straight-forward the rest of the way. Just keep writing different paragraphs for each step, and try to include pictures by copying and pasting onto the background.NOTE: You'll eventually run out of space on your current background, so simply repeat Step 1. and 2. to create another background - same size, same colour - and continue your tutorial on that background. When you post them in a forum or even presentation, they will appear as one, big, long strip instead of small, broken up chunks.Well I hope that helped, and hopefully that's what you were asking. | |
