Wow! This is so simple and easy to understand! I've only recently begun using GIMP since I had to leave PS behind once I graduated from school... and I never realized how much I could do with GIMP! XD
Thnks so much for your help... This is definitely one of my new favorites !

This helped me so much! Here I was drawing my lineart either free-hand or holding shift... Thank you for an excellent tutorial!

Thanks for this! Most of tutorials I could find were for Photoshop and not for elements (you can't animate on elements or does it have a pen/path tool).
This should be quite helpful!

I know that you've had this tutorial up for several years now, but I've only just found it and I wanted to thank you so much for taking the time to put this together! I don't have a tablet and nor do I have photoshop, so this is extremely helpful.

I never considered doing it that way. I'm not very smart either so I do everything the hard (yet oddly creative and very made up) way.
I appreciate the tutorial. *nodnod*

I hate lining and I use ps elements. But I think it'll work in elements too. Might have to go back to gimp for lining. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah I haven't figured out lining on elements, but just tracing the sketch on elements makes it look super cool. ^^ GIMP is good for lining because that's what I know how to use xDD

I'm wanting to post a lineart here on dA, but it's an xcf file.. >.< i know I can save it as a JPEG or PNG/GIF or whatever, but I want it to be an xcf, so people with GIMP can really color it. I tried submitting it, and i got a preview image and everything, but it won't let me submit it because 'unknown files are not allowed' in the category I posted the lineart to. Well. I tried every category, and apparently unknown files aren't allowed? Help? DXX

check out zamzar....it's an online file converter that's free you may be able to convert the XCF into PNG or something...

Can you do this with a drawing you've scanned, too?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yes you can do this pretty much with any picture no matter how you get them on your computer.

Nice! I just installed GIMP a few days ago, and while I don't think I'll be drawing Sailor Moon characters, this will DEFINATELY come in handy! Thanks for posting this!!!

quick question: how do you make new lines without having to continually make a stroke path with each new line made?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
you can go to the paths and merge them together then stroke them all at the same time.
hope this helps.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
oh in-case you don't know this. once in the paths section right click and options will pop up

I have some friends that this will be of much use to.

Ok, I was reading this, and Where is the advanced tab? I dont see it.

had some troubles using my tablet and gimp...
but this will help ;D thanks for doing this!
you saved me!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
What kind of troubles were you having?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
more than I wanted.
for example it doesn't take the color I chose, it's always gray.
but what I meant was that I'm still very unexperienced with GIMP 8D

Is your image in RGB mode and not grayscale?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
dunno, but if I use the mouse it draws with the color I've chosen
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
are you selecting the same colors for both? The tablet and the mouse both have different color selections. If you pick say red and yellow with the tablet but don't pick them also with the mouse, when you switch to the mouse it will only show whatever the colors were you last had.

oh. I didn't know that... but that could be the problem oO
I'll try this. thank you!

Umm... I'm not slow or anything.... Okay, MAYBE I'm a little bit slow but can you tell me what 'Opaque Brush' is?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think they just mean to use any kind of solid brush (not necessarily a fuzzy brush because you want to define the structure you'd be working from).
