Sadly, many users reported that GIMP won’t let them draw at all. This can be a big problem, but today we’re going to show you how to fix this issue for good.

What can I do if GIMP won’t let me draw?

1. Make sure you have the correct layer selected

These are some basic rules that you need to follow, but you’ll be surprised by how many users forget about these types of things.

2. Make sure that you’re not using a Clipboard brush

After selecting a different brush, you should be able to draw without any issues.

3. Check the Brush tool settings

These settings affect other tools as well, so be sure to always check them.

4. Make sure that your layers aren’t locked

For the layer to be completely unlocked, it’s important that all three icons aren’t selected. However, for drawing, only the brush icon needs to be unselected. There are several reasons why GIMP won’t let you draw, and we hope that you managed to fix that problem with our solutions.
