Though I don't have Gimp in front of me right now but I think one way to achieve it is to first create some kind of a charcoal effect ( IIRC I did see some filter/effect in Gimp somewhere) then create a selection and then have the final thing saved as a brush and make it sizable ( I don't remember if the new 2.4 brushes are sizable - I think they are) and then load and use that brush to do your charcoal drawing. Another way is to create a filter yourself and save it as a brush then use that. I think somebody will be able to help you out if you post a "picture" - an example - of the effect you are trying to achieve. -- Best regards, Asif
