SSO Graphics

I know my way around photoshop but I mostly use it for design, how can I use it for photography as well?

I want to make some pixel dolls, like the ones where you get a base and you draw the rest. I want to know how to make them , i have gimp and paint. Is there a tutorial? Or is there someone who can tell me?

The tutorial on the gimp website isn’t as helpful as I’d like, has anyone come across a good Gimp aid?
