Description
- This is a tutorial for how to edit scanned drawings in Gimp. I know many people have problems with their scanner (Yes, I have seen some art that would look a lot better if the artist edited them a litte bit). Gimp is free to download
- I'm not an expert with Gimp. These are just some things I have learned by trying or by reading tutorials.
- Sorry if my english isn't perfect!
And this is my first tutorial. I hope it looks okay Finished version
New works

Hello! Is Gimp is free to download?
This would really help with my crappy scanner x-x

Is this a specific version or doesn't it matter?

I don't think it matters. This is older version but I don't think they changed anything...
You should also try adjusting color levels (colors -> levels). I use it now instead of these

Wow, thank you so much for this tutorial! <3 <3
It has been really useful for me althought I
used it with a photo and not with an scanned pic.
I put here the improvement if you want to see it:

Hey!
i think its a lot easier to create two copies of the original layer, both 30% one overlay, the other screen.
eventually using the levels (white point or moving the slider where the tone scale begins)
But…cute tutorial.

You can crop the image also by selecting it and going Image > Crop to selection (or something like that, I don't use GIMP in English).
Anyway, thanks, I have to check if curves will help with sketches, I've never really tried them TBH.

Jaa, enpä tiedä.. Pitäisköhän se ladata sitten uudestaan? Varmaan netistä löytyy ohjeita kielen vaihtamiseen

Omg I'm going to go try that now!
My drawings look so much better in real life before they are scanned T_T
Have you ever considered getting an HD Camera and photographing your art instead of scanning it?

No, I haven't. Have you tried it? If it's better way I would consider it

haha I've wondered about this. Your drawings always look like you put so much effort on the color pencils to make it look so good even when scanned. Hehe now I know how to make my drawings look a bit more vivid XD Thank for the tutorial. ^^
