pencil don't have full color

[Puncheress]

Hi. New to 2.10 and gimp.
I have a problem, where my pencil will not draw at full color strengh - I have to draw the same spot 3-4 times to get black, green or any color. Have tried changing pencils and opacity is at 100%. Can't seem to figure it out.
Hope you have suggestions.

Without any screenshot of your GIMP, just guessing
Your pencil might be in Grain Merge mode ➤ Put it to Normal
If not, have a look at your layer stack, is it on Normal mode?

Do you have Dynamics for the pencil tool set to "Dynamics Off" ?

This is what was wrong with mine. Thank you for telling me what gimp would not. Very helpful and I appreciate it.
Any chance you know how to make gimp stop pasting every single thing I copy onto a new layer ... no matter what extra buttons I hit when I paste ???

Are you using ctrl-c  /  ctrl-v  for copy / paste ?  The default for ctrl-v is paste as a new layer.  Did you previously use Gimp 2.10 where the default ctrl-v was paste-as-floating data. That baffled new users so it was changed in Gimp 3.

   

Look in Edit -> Paste as  for the options as menu use 

If you want you can change the ctrl-v using Edit -> Keyboard Shortcuts see: https://docs.gimp.org/3.0/en/gimp-help-k...tcuts.html

...and you can move the pasted data around and then "anchor" it. You can just as easily leave it as-is, paste as a new layer and merge the layer down.  If you have come from PS or similar, Gimp does not use Objects which I believe "float"
