Hey, check out my game! My name's Kasra and I run
Gimpology. My iOS game, Swing Away, is now on the App Store. It features a cute monkey,
sweet vine-swinging action, and it's super fun!
Please check it out and tell your friends.

Looking good there, Zarnad. Keep it up.
Playing with the different letters and imagining them in a real snow scene helps visualise the most realistic result, in my opinion.
Looking good. Keep at it.
You're most welcome! I'm glad you like it.
Creating that type of drop shadow, although not directly related to this tutorial, would be done by creating one shadow of an angle in one direction, and another shadow in a different direction. While it's possible, it's not quite related to the tutorial and therefore I won't go into too much detail in the comments. However, if you wish to find out further how to configure that type of drop shadow, have a look at shadows in general by searching the appropriate terms. In a nut shell, have a play with the shadow offset angle and distance.
Looking very good there, Zarnad. Good job.
Zarnad and Kasrak, I'm really glad you both like the tutorials.
Kasrak, thanks for your suggestion. I've changed all of the tutorial avatars now.
Check out the new tutorial on how to draw a Halloween poster, complete with characters: http://gimpology.com/submission/view/draw_a_halloween_poster_part_1_of_2_/
By changing the layer mode back to soft light, your problem should be fixed. This happens when you merge the layers, it's changed back to normal; you simply have to re-apply the layer mode to regain the transparency.
By holding SHIFT and pressing your down arrow key, it roughly moves about 25 pixels down by default. You can always change this by just nudging the layer down using your down arrow key to a gap that you feel is suitable. It's entirely your choice how big you want the gap to be, so be creative but keep it within a suitable ratio of the paper size.
