Same here, I paint what looks like 1 mm x 1 mm lines of mountains. I can't figure it out and also the instruction to select the Circle 07 (9x9) Brush... there's no such brush in the folder. I'm lost.

Thanks, a friend on Facebook eventually pointed me in that direction. I got that part figured out.
So, to keep updates current (in the thread at least, if not in the tutorial itself)
Select the 100 hardness tip and set the size in place of sized brushes.
And Export, not Save As, to save the brush file.
Also, the path (at least in Vista) for saving the brush is C:\Users\Owner\.gimp-2.8\brushes
I've gotten as far as making my 2 sets of mountains and a set of trees. I'll post any more updates if I find more out of date info as I progress!
My first tutorial and my first gimp map!
I've scanned my hand draw map to use as coastlines then I have followed the tutorial, creating few dynamic brushes.
Here's my unfinished map so far. Still need to add water (rivers, lakes), cities and colors.
The problem I have is that I can't figure out how to separate land mass and sea. The land mass isn't closed so I can't select it with the select tools, there're too many cuts in the coastlines. Is it an easy way to do this? I don't want to retrace all the coastlines with a pen tool, my mouse isn't as accurate as my right hand.
Thanks for the great tutorial.
