SUPER EASY GIMP TUTORIAL
Why hello my little dumplings!
Its Aer, here to show you how to make some textures!
I was floating around, and saw people selling files.
I was a little saddened, because these are so EASY to make!!
So instead of buying files, Ill show you how to make some textures.
These textures will enchance some cloth items you wanna make on IMVU.
So instead of a plain odd look, it will look almost like cloth.
So here is what we do.
1: Open Gimp
2: New 256x512
3: Fill the space with grey. ( Any shade of grey will do!)
4: Filter->Noise->RBG Noise->Press Ok.(Nothing should be checked.)
5: Filter->Blur->Motion Blur->
6: Length 12 - Angle 0 -> Press ok!
Walah! A New texture for clothes! Just set as overlay, adjust opacity
and you are all set! Now you don't have to do it just this way!
Just mess around with it, find something you like! If you would like
to use my end result, go ahead. Please don't try to sell it, enjoy it!

Dumplings! Now if you are confused, have no fear! Just ask me a question by
sending me a message, I would love to help! This tutorial is FREE, if you have
a request dont hesitate to ask!

SUPER EASY Gimp Tutorial!
Why hello there my Little Dumplings here is a tutorial on how to make folds. I DO NOT use fold brushes. I just use the
Pencil tool, Smudge, and Gaussian blur.
The only two shades we will be using is BLACK and WHITE
*Open new 256x256 (After you make the folds, you can easily resize to fit
whatever you need.
(MAKE SURE TO MAKE YOUR FOLDS ON A TRANSPARENT LAYER!!!!!)
1:Choose the pencil tool(You can use paintbrush), chose 0.25
2:Make a straight line, not too long we need to smudge out the ends.
3:Pick the smudge tool and pull out ends.
4:Copy the black line -> Paste, and pull above the black line.(They should be stacked)
5:Color -> Invert.
6:Go to layers, and choose overlay.
You will see it almost transforming.
7: Now go to Filter -> Blur -> Gaussian Blur.
You may choose what ever suits your needs, but I chose 5.0
You are done. **Remember this is just a beginners guide.** Once your fold is done,
save as png. (Make sure not background is present.) Once you put it on your texture
just play with the opacity, and resize as needed. I hope it helped.
What I have done using this guide.
(You may use these folds, however they are not transparent. So making them work might take some editing.)

Hey, welcome to my page. My name is Aer, nice meeting you.
Hey, some people may wonder why I give out freebies. When I can simply sell some of the stuff and earn credits. Well
here is my sincere answer.
When I was a new developer I had no clue what to do. I wanted to create so bad, but I felt I was terrible. Like many others,
I was taken advantage of, bought files and thought they were awesome. Till I opened them and realized how much little
work the person put into the file. Most of it was freebies, and I was so upset. I also went around and saw people trying
to make credits off of new creators, having them pay for lessons or tutorials. I would rather give a chance to those who
want to be better, so they don't mess up like I did. I looked up one tutorial, it was a hair tutorial. I cannot find it, but to
the lady who made it has my greatest thanks. From that one tutorial I learned many different;t things from gimp. Ended up
experimenting and here I am today. I may not dev anymore, but I continue to practice so I can help others. I hope you
all enjoy the things I work on for you. I hope it inspires!(The Rainbow Background was made by me, don't use without permission!)

I love doing request(s). So don't hesitate to ask! I do have pre-made ICONS if you would like one. These ones I provide for free, and they
are a first come first serve basis. I can however make you an custom icon price varying from 1k-3.5k
