    Question GIMP brush help

    I'm making a map in GIMP using Gidde's brush pack, and whenever I start to draw something the first symbol is always translucent. Is there a way to solve this?

    Turn brush dynamics off. I'm thinking you have some pressure based dynamic which will stamp lightly as soon as the pressure hits (assuming you are using a tablet).

    Also- I'm following Gidde's hand drawn mapping tutorial, but the most recent version of GIMP doesn't have the random size feature that the tutorial uses. Is it just located in a different place, or does it not exist anymore?

    4 years is a long time
    that tutorial was wrote in 2010 for 2.6

    a lot has changed 4.5 years ( 5 years is one FULL computer generation )

    almost ALL the code underlying gimp is NEW
    the current 2.8.14 is almost a 99% complete new rewrite of the old code

    the layer and brush dialog windows are different and the GUI is different

    think of it as using a guide for windows7 ON windows 8.1
    things are very different

    look under
    Window / Dockable dialogs / brushes
    and for settings
    Window / Dockable dialogs / paint dynamics
