Letter to Symbol GIF Reflection

The most frustrating aspect of Gimp: I found it almost virtually impossible to make my GIF come off as realistic (rather than like a cartoon). I had a specific idea in mind but I ended up making a lot of sacrifices because of the limitations to the program. This was especially due to the difficult task of transferring my sketches into Gimp form. The pencil/paintbrushes have a limit to how small they can get and it was difficult to draw without the lines coming off as wobbly. Gimp tools I feel most confident using now: After the project, I now feel most confident using the paths tool given I had to use it the most. I also find it to be the most helpful tool in the entire Gimp program for this particular project because it allowed me to draw as many curves as I needed in a clean fashion. Gimp Tool I wish I was better at using: The Gimp tool I wish I was better at using is the Ellipse Select tool. Although I was able to successfully use it to my advantage for my design, I feel like I could have taken even better advantage of it. It is one of the few tools on Gimp that can create rounded edges, so mastering that tool would drastically help me in creating my designs. If we ever do future projects using Gimp, hopefully I'll gain a better understanding of its functions. Types of projects Gimp would be most helpful for: The best function for Gimp, I've found, is photo editing. At one point I uploaded a picture of my sketch to go over it and it was so much easier to work with. The only reason why I did not follow through with that method was because the image was way too large. The project guidelines was to keep the image too 400x400, but the image was way above that. However, if I had my way, I would edit an already existing image rather than create it with Gimp. My design would have come out much more realistic given most of Gimp's tools cater to editing images.
