Im soo lovin this! I have a question though,when you make a new layer for your lines are they transparent? and how do you color the lines?

pheona In reply to RodNesha [2007-06-25 18:13:47 +0000 UTC]

The lines are not transparent, but the layer itself is... I hope that is what you were asking. And to color the lines, lock the lineart layer and go over the lines with the pencil or paint tool in the color you want them to be.

Very nice work! Thanks for sharing it with the GIMP community!

I don't do lineart in GIMP (I do a bit of everything else in GIMP! ), but I was searching for a tutorial for a friend and am glad I found this one.

Thanks again!

Mind if I give you a hint?

You know those things in the dropdown? Where you said to select normal, because you didn't know what everything else did? I have wonderful news. One of those is "Multiply" and that will let you color over the lines, just like you were coloring under the lines. They show right through, none the diminished.

Of course, that doesn't work very well. Fortunately, you can open the layer dialog, select multiply, and now you can do the same thing with all the layers! So no matter what layer you're on, the lineart shows through perfectly. It's a wonderful tool!

pheona In reply to lenlen46 [2007-02-23 17:12:59 +0000 UTC]

So long as your sketch lines and original image are on separate layers, just delete the layer.

Heh. We have Gimp and I didn't know what it did til I asked Dad about it in contrast to photoshop... he said "Gimp does everything." I did a search on the net, and damn he was right! I'm still in the experimenting stage with my pics but I have two WIPs in my gallery if you're interested in checking them out
