the pic is not visible its all blank

Hi Go.d.ussop ,

What do you mean by blank? 'White' or transparent?

Anyway, make sure your Image Settings are correct (by default, they should be...):

Maybe you need to watch the Basics first:

You also have to be in the correct viewport shading mode for the image to show. JL goes through it in the tutorial.
