can you give me some tips on cell-shading clothes please , because i'm haveing some trouble with that .
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I have some examples way back in my gallery, but other than that you'd have to be more specific

do the highlights need so be the same size as the shadows ? or do they need to be smaller ?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It depends on what sort of a situation your art is in. Darker settings will have smaller highlights (if any at all) and lighter would have more etc.

Um... I have a question. Basically, I used the Dodge/Burn tool, but nothing happened. Why?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
To use the dodge/burn tool, you must be coloring on top of a pre-existing color. Make sure that you are on the layer that has the base color and be sure to have the settings correct for the tool

this was very helpfull , but i still have one question does the shading have to be in the same layer as the basic color ?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It doesn't have to be unless you want to use the dodge/burn tool- this requires a base color

What does the "grow" thing do exactly?
Also, I have all the different layers with their respective colors, but they don't show up unless I put the layers above the lineart. Should I keep the layers below anyway?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It sounds like your lineart layer isn't transparent. Make sure your lines are on its own layer and not on a white background. The "grow" makes the selection bigger so you paint to the middle of the lines instead of the inside.

Oh! Thank you very much!
I just got GIMP a few days ago, so I'm a huge n00b.

I don't usually read tutorials (do things by trial n error).
But your tutorial is an exception and some points you explained are very crucial. Though I knew some of the tips you mentioned by trial n error
Thank you for such a nice tutorial. And who said life is so plain when you helped many people with such good tutorial.
Relish the moment

WOW kewl! It's awesome that you do this without a mouse! The pen tool really helps. Once i did a pic entirely w/ a mouse though (i don't know why, because i have a tablet) and ... yeah, my hand was stuck in the holding-a-mouse position for a while... 
anyway, i'm gonna try n familiarize myself with gimp. Your tutorial looks really helpful.

Heey I've got a question. Really stupid, but what is actually the different of cell shading and soft shading?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well if you take a look at the examples in my tutorial you will see that the cell shading is just a block of color on top of the base color and soft shading is a gradient of color that fades into the base color

thank you. I understand now

This helps a lot for me. It may take a little longer than how I usually dodge/burn and a lot longer than the lazy way (Blurring with gradients) but it's worth a shot!

Haha! I love this tutorial... I don't know if not having a tablet will affect me, but I'll just plug a usb mouse into my laptop and try using this when I draw my next picture. ^_^

Great tutorial! Like the other one! But for the lines, how do you smooth them? With the blur or the smudge?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You shouldn't need to blur the lines, but if you do want to, yes, use the blur or smudge.
