Generally when you resize an image to be larger, you lose image quality since you're scaling the pixels so it looks more fuzzy the more you try to change an image's dimensions. It's similar to zooming in on things; it'll look less unrefined the more you magnify it. This is why artists tend to draw at high resolution canvases, so they don't run into the issue of needing to make their images larger.

Other than that, I'm not sure on what you need help with.

"...you lose image quality since you're scaling the pixels so it looks more fuzzy the more you try to change an image's dimensions."

You're going to have to get/draw the image at a higher resolution. There's probably better tech out there that scales images cleanly, but I wouldn't know of any.

I'm not an artist in any way so I can't judge whether or not these tutorials are good, but this and this one were literally the first and second thing that showed up after a 30 second research on google ("gimp 2 overlay puzzle").

Hope they help! :cheer:
