You might also want to use Sodipodi (a vector-based graphics program) when 
drawing, and then export as a PNG and touch up in The GIMP. Drawing well is 
very difficult in The GIMP, and though you want a pixel-based image as a 
result, having an original in the SVG (vector) format makes coming back and 
modifying it a whole lot easier.
