Description Ok, ok! I did this because I didn't find anything about Gimp tutorials around here.

And, if you guys ask the continuation, there is a few things that I may teach:

-Highlights on hair
-Cloth
-Long hair
-Background

[b]EDIT: Apologizes and comments[/b]

First, my apologizes. I promised the continuation of this tutorial, but I didn't post anything yet. I will make the continuation when I buy my computer, and that can be in the end of the month. So no worries.

Secondly, I must warn about an english error that I made on that tutorial. Where I wrote the word ABOVE, please read UNDER, ok? Every ABOVE word there actually is meaning UNDER.

Thanks

I'm kind of confused. I did what you said and I put the white background under the lineart. Then I made another layer and I put it above the background and under the lineart, so, in between. Well, I went to use the paint tool, and I wanted yellow. I started coloring, and it was gray instead. I'm so confused....

Oh by the way, you can pm me about it. I'll more likely see the pm than I will someone posting here.

Any help appreciated! Thanks!

THank you SO MUCH this is great, one question though, do I need to download Flash, or is it part of Gimp, and if I do have to download it, where do I download it?

Nope, Flash doesn't come with Gimp. But I don't know where you can download it, sorry...

I have a question, "upon" and "above" means the same thing, right? So all the color layers are above the first two?
And Im confused which is above or under. Hope my question wasnt confusing

FastSpeedy In reply to PropertyKar [2010-02-05 01:19:25 +0000 UTC]

Well...
If you have a tablet, just create a new layer over the sketch and go tracing the lineart with your tablet (you can change the zoom to help you).

If you don't have a tablet, you can use the Bezier Tool. Create a new layer over the sketch and trace everything with the Bezier Tool.
