Could use some help from an artist(NOT looking for free art)

General
I recently downloaded GIMP, and I have no fucking clue what I'm doing.
My goal is to make a map of an archipelago for a pen-and-paper RPG game my group is picking up, but I can't make heads or tails of this program. I've been playing around with it for a few hours, but every time I think I've done what I wanted to, it just kind of... doesn't happen.
I've been trying to take clusters of existing islands from maps, paste them into the program, and arrange them as I like, but I just can't seem to get the hang of it.
This is where you come in, if you're feeling generous enough to lend me your aid. I could really use a crash course in how to use this program. I'd rather pull from existing maps than freehand my own - I tried drawing them free-hand with pencil and paper already, and it just looked awful and I can't imagine it would be any better trying to do it with a mouse.
So, anyone out there willing to teach me how to use this thing, or know someone that may? It would be greatly appreciated.
