latley ive been drawing in gimp trying to get used to it more. Gimp is kinda okay i guess , but what i dont like is that it closes sometimes , and there is no autosave, its very outdated and the supposed new gimp 2.10 never ever comes out ,instead there is only highly unstable appimages. gimp is harder and takes more time and is less convientent to draw in than in other programs. It is not really set up for drawing ,and that's all i use it for, i don't know how to do photo manipulation, but from my own experience gimp does give me sharper clearer colors and quality than krita does ,personally i feel like krita doesnt give me the quality i want, but krita is much easier for me to use than gimp

anyway i drew this in it whislt playing around with brush dynamics and brushes ,nothing too fancy and it may not be accurate because i didnt have any references at the time when i made it, i drew it straight from my mind onto a blank canvas lol

There is an Auto-Save Python plug-in which you can install.

Thanks for the tip about the automatic backup script, Wallace. I can always use that.
