Great tutorial! Luv it.
Btw, do you know how to stroke a path without the popup about the stroke options coming up?
Because it gets really annoying to stroke, click stroke path, click okay, then click out of stroking after a while

You can click edit> stroke path or you might be able to assign a quick key to it :

this helps but...im a little confused with the path tool, i dont understand how what you do to actually make the line after you do the path P: ah well, my computers screwy.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
After you make the line with the tool, click edit(from the top menu) then "stroke path". Pick how wide you want the line to be (I usually do 1.5-2.5) then click "ok". Hopefully that helps. ^^

if i wanted to save
how can i save withot the layers murging or becoming one?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Save it as .xcf file. This is GIMP's special format that will save your layers and colors perfectly

Ah, one little thing, If you do happen to accidentially merge your lineart with your canvas, If the lineart is nothing but black:
1)Create a new, white layer and place it under the merged-mistake layer
2)go to 'colors', in there there is 'color to alpha', select that and make the 'to alpha' color pure white.
3)Hit OK.
4)check that out! all the white tones are completely transperant, the 'grey' lines returned to their origional black opacity. It'll be the way it was before you merged down on accident ^^
Please note: if your lineart is more than just pure black, you're screwed. This effect will put anything white transperant, making certian hues with white in them partially transperant. Watch out for that.
Hope it helps!

Sorry-- I'm confused. How do you colour the lines?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The layer that has the lineart on it needs to have the "transparency" box checked in the layers dialogue window. Then, you can simply pick a color and use the pencil/paintbrush tool and go over the lines in the color you choose.
