Description I was wondering for the past month, "How can I make the lines of line art colorful like this? [link] ". And then today, I got an idea, and it worked!!! So rather than working on my English paper or studying for my math test tomorrow or for my French quiz or my Chemistry test, I drew this up (I'll be up late studying tonight...). Maybe I'll make a picture with this technique at some point...

Line art found here: [link] (I do not own it). Ahh, I love Brown Cow yogurt.

.....

What?

Nice tutorial!

I wonder if only works on Gimp, or I can do it on Photoshop or SAI.

on SAi you can just make the gradient above the lineart and set it to "clipping group"

hey! i just found out there is no need to compicate!
when you want to do colorful lines just select line with select by color tool, and then add blend to it!XD

Hehe, nevermind ^^ I was just suggesting another easy way to colour lineart is to lock the transparency and then colour~
