How do I line art on GIMP?
Is that even possible?

What do you mean by "line art"? Are you referring to drawing line art on GIMP from scratch, or what?

Ah...you know that tool that you use to make lines that you can bend and curve? I can't seem to find that.

I need to use it to "digitally ink" my picture. I hope that made sense...

I don't think that's in GIMP. You can do something kinda like that with the paint and pencil tools. Start a line by just clicking (don't hold) where you want the line to start. Then hold Shift and click where you want the line to end.

Hope that helps!

Btw, there's a GIMP tutorial here, http://www.theproject.us/

Yeah, what MangArtist said, and also there's the path tool. With it, you can make several points, connect them with a line, and then stroke that line in several different ways. For anything that's not going to be just a straight line, the path tool is probably what you'd want.
