How to Color With GIMP
GIMP is a free graphic design program that you can use to create and edit your own digital images. The program provides you with coloring tools such as a paint brush, pencil or airbrush that can use to draw directly on pictures and photos you have saved on your computer. Use GIMP to color on a blank canvas if you want to create a completely new image. You can select any color from the color chart that you would like to use, and customize the size and shape of the coloring tool you choose.
