If you want to improve, i'm going to be honest with you. It seems you are familiar with some basic skills like gradients and layers, but you have ALOT to work on.

First off, never use brushes or fonts that automatically come with the program. They are ugly and you can't do much with them. Go to deviantart.com and search brushes for brushes, and a good website for fonts is dafont.com. Then go to Computer> Gimp 2.6> brushes and place the brushes you downloaded in that folder, and Computer> Gimp 2.6> fonts and place the fonts you downloaded in that folder. Once you start up gimp, they will be available for you to use however you please!

A good way to get better is to search GIMP Sig Tutorials in Google Images, and find a good beginner tutorial to start off with. Don't expect to be able to create more detailed sigs just yet, though.

Try to pick up techniques from tutorials like smudging and more advanced layering, and you'll be creating you're own creative sigs in no time! And one more tip; when you save your creation, click the little plus under the box where you put the name for your project, scroll down, and click "PNG". Huge improvment in qaulity. Get better and have fun!

i did that

Oh yes sorry. When you upload it, use the direct BB code, not the thumbnail BB code. Because if you upload it as a thumbnail, and then you click it to zoom in, there is a huge loss in qaulity.

can you give me some brunches tips?

A great brush for smudging is the vine brush. It creates great texture, and combined with different layer modes can result in amazing effects. There's not much more to say, just find some good brushes and leran how to contrast layers of brushes to create different effects. You will pick thus up from tutorials. Good luck!

I actually have almost 2 years of experience. I'm still not amazing but i've learned alot from more experienced artists, like what i'm doing with you.

Good luck I hope you get better! :)
