May/June 2017 Lite challenge: Scribble Rock

[Mouse]

Seems like a layer mask would be a little less destructive. That eraser tool can get you into trouble sometimes. Well, it's gotten ME into trouble many times... ymmv.

That's a very good point. Thanks for picking that up, IG

I messed up very badly with my second attempt at one of my Guild City maps when I was just starting with GIMP a few months ago, but that was because I didn't know about using layer masks back then.

XCali - The GIMP ocean test run I did on that other thread I linked to above uses a layer mask on each layer - each layer being a solid plate of sand, rock, or water texture. With a mask in place, and using black or white to paint on the mask (not the actual layer itself), all I had to do was just paint on the masks to make parts of each layer either visible, or invisible, depending on whether I wanted a rock or a piece of weed at that particular point in the map.
