Description
WARNING: HUGE FILE!!!!!!that's what he said
PLEASE COMMENT ESPECIALLY IF YOU FAVE OR USE!
I know who you are.
Part 2: working
Feel free to ask questions if there's something you don't understand or I didn't cover
My first tutorial! This is by no means a perfect technique, it's just the one I use to color my scans because I don't have a tablet. It's a nice technique--I think--for people who use a mouse (regular or touchpad).
Even if you don't have a scanner and you take slides (photos) of your sketches Kiddo, you can use this technique if you take a good enough picture. The second half of this tut will cover basic digital painting techniques that I use and a LOT of layer work.
I can also do a tutorial on photo retouching in GIMP if anyone wants it. I use GIMP for all of my photography as well. Which is why my cell phone pictures don't suck as much as they could lol.
I decided to do the tutorial about halfway through lining Sah's hair so that's why he's already been worked on a bit
------------------------------------------------
Sah and Hei are my OC's

Pfft I learned photoshop a couple of years ago in school but I'm pretty sure I've forgotten half of it by now.

Sweet! Are you having problems with pixellation? A friend of mine did the tutorial and had pixellation issues and I noticed your lines aren't as smooth as they could be. What OS are you running? I run XP and he runs Vista, so IDK what's going on with it...

I got mine for cheap for like 50 on amazon XD. But since it doesn't work that well with gimp it's a waste... Save up to buy a good tablet
Really? I can barely scroll using a touchpad O_O

Cool that you did one of these, Ayamee. I've been wanting to look up tutorials because I downloaded GIMP recently... Hadn't gotten around to it until I saw this. XD
also, I feel so late commenting on this lol but i haven't had much time this week... fail.

XD it's cool you have enough on your plate as it is, Chibi-chan!
I knew a few people who were kind of unfamiliar with it so I figured I might as well make a little tutorial for the thing. (Mostly because Kiddo was all waaah! XD)

I'm gonna need to know these things. I was holding off on downloading this program, but I think I will go ahead and do it. I'm in dire need of something and photoshop is too expensive for me right now. XD SO thanks for the tutorial and I'll be sure to ask you any questions if I come across any trouble. :]

Yay I helped 2 people today lol. I'm no expert by any means but I'll help you if I can
Should I do a photo touch-up tutorial too, then?

Lovekeysan In reply to Phineas77 [2009-09-29 02:58:10 +0000 UTC]
So already I have questions about using GIMP. XD Like I can't see where there is different font options or font color options. I resized a picture finally, but I can't upload yet. I need to find my watermark file, which I hope is on my thumb drive... Maybe I'll upload the animal pics I took at the zoo this weekend cuz I shouldn't need my usual watermark on those. XD

Phineas77 In reply to Lovekeysan [2009-09-29 04:00:43 +0000 UTC]
When you select the text tool and draw a text box, in the toolbox where the paths menu is on the tutorial, there will be a text menu with fonts and color options. If you need help finding it I can send you a screenshot.
