    Gimp

    i have been using it since 2000 / 2001

    i WOULD SUGGEST you work through the image editing tutorials

    things like adding "rust" to a object and colorizing a black and white image WILL teach you the basics
    and those skills WILL be able to be applied to a map and to using layers

    from here
    http://www.gimp.org/
    there is a link at the top of the page "tutorials"
    http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/

    right now the only big issue is that gimp 2.8.16 is 8 bit per layer ONLY ( uchar)
    red=8
    green=8
    blue=8

    alpha =8 bits

    the develpment testing version Gimp 2.9.3 handles 16 bit signed and unsigned ( short and ushort ) and 32 bit floating point
    also 32 bit integer ( long) and and 64 bit float


    a bit less than gimp but also a good drawing tool is a program called Krita
    https://krita.org/
    also krita has a program BUILT IN that i use ALL!!! THE TIME!!!
    "G'Mic "
    if you look back at my posts you will see a lot of terminal commands using gmic

    there is also a gimp plugin for gmic but you the user have to add it
