I know how to do that kind of gradient at gimp. You open a new file. Paint it with black and select the "gradient" icon. Once you have a black-grey-white gradient, select filters-"noise" (I don't know how does it appear in english, but in spanish is "ruido", HSV.
@90Snapy Awesome, I'll have to try that out some myself. Thank you for the tip :D It probably is noise in English as well because I think I remember seeing that option under the filters tab. And sweet, you're a Spanish speaker? I'm minoring in Spanish currently. It's a beautiful language.
@1leerick I actually got my screen tones from the site deviantART, where several users offer screen tones they've made to use for free. There are ways to make your own, and I've tried it in Gimp before, but I haven't found an effective way so far. If I do I might have to make another tutorial lol. I do know that there are ways to make them in photoshop, and you can also buy or order them and then scan them in and use them. Hope this helps answer your question :D
@bumblesera I had a PC several years ago, but I've been using mostly macs for several years now. The main difference I remember is how smoothly everything runs. Macs seem to run faster with fewer glitches, update more smoothly, and require really no virus protection because they never get them. If you do plan to go into art as a career path, macs are considered industry standard, or so I've heard from several great sources. Supposedly the software is the main advantage for art program users.
@javatar2r Sorry for taking a little while to get back to you :/ I had work this morning and was busy with other stuff afterward. But anyways, the gradients I used actually came from the site deviantART, I believe. You could try going on that site and looking for them by searching "grit gradients". The artist that had them up had them packaged in a folder that you could download by clicking "download" beside the preview image. I hope this helps!
@jow0RISE0 Wow, that's odd. The site itself is completely legit and shouldn't give you viruses. To avoid getting them I wouldn't click any of the adds that come up on the site and not click any links that are in comments or journals that you aren't familiar with. How did you get the virus before? I've used the site for years on Mac and PC with no problem O.O
@Last0things0left no idea how it happened, and i've been there before without anything happening but i typed "sub-zero" in the search bar and then it closed out the page and went to another page saying i had threats and then it opened up an anti-virus download link, so i just shut off my comp so i don't know lol
@jow0RISE0 Wierd O.o I hate it when that happens on other sites. I had a site try to do that to me the other day, but macs tell you to delete it as soon as it downloads if its a threat, thank goodness. I would've been in for it otherwise.

@lilpookie01111 Sorry this took me forever to answer :( And I drew them in pencil, inked them with traditional media, and then edited them in Gimp :D
