For me it's harder than just drawing it straight on :-p

But the tip about the advanced tab in the new canvas menu has helped loads, thanks

pheona In reply to Masamune-hikara [2008-10-25 03:28:45 +0000 UTC]

You could just draw them bigger or use the grow tool

Thank you so much for this fantastic tutorial, and for doing it using GIMP. I have never tried to do any kind of art using my computer before so this is a great starter lesson for me. I definitely need to practice using paths but I've had a lot of fun trying lineart out using your instructions. Thanks again!

pheona In reply to AnEmberMoon [2008-09-25 03:24:40 +0000 UTC]

What I mean is just put it on it's own layer and draw on a separate layer on top of it.

KK6665Player In reply to ??? [2008-09-17 01:51:36 +0000 UTC]

Question! Did you just draw the same person, or edit them into someone else? And also, I put the layer, but I don't see ANY difference in the picture. Am I supposed to see blocks like yours has?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

pheona In reply to KK6665Player [2008-09-17 03:58:31 +0000 UTC]

I don't understand your first question, but I think it can be answered in the tutorial. Second, a layer is transparent, so you cannot "see" a new layer

KK6665Player In reply to pheona [2008-09-17 21:45:35 +0000 UTC]

Oooooh. Okays. My first question was, did you draw a sketch over another picture? But only on a new layer, right?

pheona In reply to KK6665Player [2008-09-18 00:46:22 +0000 UTC]

Yes, that is what I did

wheres Advanced tab?

pheona In reply to C7nder [2008-09-01 01:36:11 +0000 UTC]

I guess you don't need an "advanced tab" but I'm not exactly sure what you mean

pheona In reply to pheona [2008-09-01 13:03:21 +0000 UTC]

Oh, I see now what you are talking about! When you start a new canvas, you should change the dpi by clicking "+advanced options" in the newer version of GIMP, it is no longer a tab, just an expandable set of options. Sorry for the confusion and let me know if you need any more help

C7nder In reply to pheona [2008-09-01 02:53:37 +0000 UTC]

the text above the Hideous picture says "Click on the 'Advanced' tab" thats what im talking about

M-Skeedo212 In reply to ??? [2008-06-29 20:10:05 +0000 UTC]

Uh, I have a question:

When you make a path, do you have to close it back up? I ask because when I was following your coloring tutorial, I wasn't able to use the fuzzy tool in a lot of places (only one place to be exact) and when I did use it, It would select the whole thing and I made sure I was on the right layer....
