A guide how to remove background from traditionally drawn pagedolls

Would you like to decorate your page with fun little figures - so called pagedolls - but you're a traditional artist and don't know how to make background transparent behind those dolls? If the answer is yes, then this is a guide for you!

When drawing pagedolls digitally, getting them on transparent background is quite simple – just do not draw any but leave the pixels behind the figure untouched. When you have drawn your pagedoll on a paper, it requires a bit more effort to remove the paper white behind the figure, but it can be done easily with couple of steps. This tutorial advices gives you step by step guidance for transparent background.

In this tutorial the used program is Gimp. Gimp is a free photo editing software, which you can download it here www.gimp.org/ . Of course you can use any program you have available, as long as it supports layers and transparency.



Step by Step Guide

  • Open your scanned drawing and make a copy of the first layer. I have named the original layer Original and the copied layer Stencil so you can keep up which layer I am talking about. This is important: always keep the original drawing untouched until you're done with editing! This way you can come back to it if something goes wrong and you don't need to scan the picture again.

  • Use Crop tool to cut extra background away from the picture; pagedoll does not need much empty space around it.

  • Add contrast to the Stencil layer and make it a bit darker until white background looks white and dark parts look black. Don't worry about colors looking weird at this point; this layer will be removed later.


    Using stencil layer helps you to minimize time and effort when cleaning the outlines of your doll.


  • Make another copy of the Original layer. I am calling this layer Pagedoll.


    Your layers should be in this order.


  • Go to your Stencil layer, select Layer, then Transparency and then Add Alpha Channel. Make same operation to your Pagedoll layer. This operation will add transparency to the current layer.


    This step will transform your opaque pixels to transparent!


  • Go to your Stencil layer and select the background with Magic Wand Tool. Press Delete.


    Make sure you're operating in correct layer!


  • Make a new layer under Pagedoll layer and use Bucket Fill tool to fill it with some neutral color (remember to dismiss your selection you might have left from previous step by choosing Select from the toolbar and then None). Hide the Pagedoll layer for this step. Now you can see where you still have white background left on the Stencil layer.


    Temporary background color allows you to see the areas that still needs to be removed.


  • Go to your Stencil layer, pick the extra white areas from the background one by one with Magic Wand tool and delete them. You can select multiple areas at once by holding Shift down from your keyboard.


    Pick all the white background that is left with Magic Wand and press Delete.


  • When you have all the extra white areas deleted, select again the background (and all the holes which you just cleaned) with Magic Wand.

  • Then go to your Pagedoll layer and use Eraser tool to remove the white background. When you have only background chosen from your Stencil layer, the character will remain untouched and only areas around it will be erased.


    When you have only background selected, you don't have to worry about erasing the character. 


  • You can now delete the Stencil layer, it has served its purpose.

  • If needed, you can now make color corrections to the picture, so that it resembles the original drawing you have on a paper. More guidance how to do this can be found in this tutorial .

  • We are almost done! Now it is time to check if the lines need some cleaning. By erasing the background with a help of Stencil layer, there isn't as much cleaning to do than if you started directly from your Pagedoll layer. If your pagedoll has lots of jagged edges (such as whispy hair like in my example doll) there might be more things to clean than if the outlines were simplier.


    Notice those floating white pixels outside the doll that needs to be erased!


  • After you have cleaned the lines with Eraser tool, do the last check up by filling your Background layer with black. It will show if you have any floating or loose pixels around your doll. Erase those from your Pagedoll layer in case you see any.
  • When you're happy with your pagedoll's lines and look, delete or hide any extra layers, leaving only Pagedoll layer visible.
  • Export (or Save As, depending which program/version you're using) your image in PNG format; it will save the transparent pixels. If you save your image as JPG, all the work has been pointless as JPG does not support transparent elements!


    Make sure the file name has .png at its end!


  • Your Pagedoll is now ready to be added on your profile page!



  • Additional tip:
    If you want to change the size of the pagedoll on your page, you can use this code:


    1234567890 means a number from the thumbcode. Copy and paste the number from your pagedoll's thumbcode.


    Altering numbers after width and height allows you to change the size of your doll. Try out which size looks best on your page!

    YES

    So that's how you manage to delete the pesky paper white so smoothly, I had always wondered how you made it look so nice and clean with no jagged edges!

    And look at Kleos helping someone being helpful, bet he never saw that coming

    Yeah, that's the way I do it! It would be too much trouble to clean everything with eraser so had to figure out an easier way... it is sometimes good thing to be lazy.

    Kleos was very helpful but I am sure he didn't know what he signed up for.
