So I was clicking the good old “random” button on the Week 5 assignments and came across, “Draw It.” I figured, “Hey, I used to use Photoshop in school all the time and I remember there being a filter to just change it! Too easy!” Well, turns out, GIMP does not have that feature.(Or at least I couldn’t find it) I wish I knew where my Photoshop CS2 CD is…even though it is majorly obsolete by now! But I used the tools that GIMP gives and from what I remembered, and a little prodding on GIMP Forums, I was able to create this:

Okay, so he isn’t actually MY dog, but I was watching him while my old suite-mate’s family came to visit him. (Odd how this was almost exactly a year ago!)

So of course I wanted to see how other people’s pictures turned out. And first on the list was Kiersten Pyrtle’s How to draw a horse! I also noticed that she had made a tutorial of what she did…after I did my own! SMH. Anyways, gotta love the fact that you can use different techniques to get a similar end result! I think I may post again with my own tutorial about how to create this because it was basic use of GIMP and anyone can do it!
