While using Gimp, what was most frustrating aspect of the program and/or project? 
While using Gimp, the most frustrating aspect of the program was that I had to constantly remember to click on the layer that I wanted to make edits on. Usually, I remembered to click off all the eyes on the other layers except for the layer that I wanted to view, but I kept on forgetting to click on the layer I wanted to work on. I would get so angry and confused, not knowing why I couldn't make the changes. Then I would try out different things . At some point, I just realized that I selected another layer and became mad at myself for being so dumb. This had happened quite a few times, but now I learned my lesson and hopefully would not make the same mistake again as the year went on. 

After completing the project, which Gimp tools do you feel most confident in using? Explain why.
After completing the project, the Gimp tools that I feel the most confident in using are the pencil tool, eraser tool and the path tool. These three tools are the main tools that I have used to create the images in each layer. Throughout the project, I use the pencil tool and eraser tool to draw and change each layer. I actually play with some of the features of the pencil/eraser tool such as the angle and size of the tool to fix up the edges of the lines a bit. After you introduce the path tool, I start using the path tool whenever I have to make a curve. The path tool makes each line more smoother than the result one will get if lines are drawn by hands. After using these tools so much, I become confident in using them.

Which Gimp Tool do you wish you were better at using? Explain why.
 I wish I were better at using the other tools that I haven't use in this project. I don't have a single tool that I wish I were better at using because I have been mostly using the three tools that are mentioned about and so I didn't have a chance to explore the other tools. So I wish I could be able to be familiarized with the other tools first and understand which tool(s) is/are my weakness(es). 

What would you like to create with Gimp next?
I want to create a collage of pictures and photos because I want to learn how to edit pictures on this photo-editing software. I also want to create an animation that tells a story, not a GIF.
