Thanks for the Great tutorial ! I use GIMP too, but my method is a bit different. Also check out this tutorial - http://ashwings.deviantart.com/art/TZH-Webcomic-Tutorial-112296684 . Its a bit advanced though.

Interesting tutorials. Do you both rely on GIMP or Photoshop in
general? I use MS Paint for my webcomics cuz I'm too lazy to learn
Photoshop/GIMP. Though on my Friday comics I usually use Photoshop to
insert the gradient background - that's the extent of my photoshop
skills.

It took me a while to learn GIMP. I did not have patience to learn it from basics so I was lost even with something extremely basic like GIMP's layers! But the slowly I got the hang of it. 

I have not used photoshop because it is paid and since GIMP comes free so I thought why not try it first itself.

Believe me once you learn either GIMP or photoshop you would not want to touch MS Paint. It is like switching to nuclear warheads after you have been fighting with stones!

I strongly recommend that you download and use GIMP. There are a lot of GIMP tutorials on youtube and other websites which are very helpful. But the best way to master GIMP is to experiment with it. The more you use it the better u get. I've been using it for about a year and i have barely scratched the surface. Good Luck!

I found some of the videos of Gimptricks on youtube very good. It starts from basics and there are some not-so-obvious tricks too. I find it easier to learn from videos than long tutorials.

And thanks Saad for sharing info about Mighty Zeo font, I use it pretty regularly, i prefer it more than other comic fonts.
