Description Ok yes I don't pretend to be amazingly good at this or anything because I'm not so this is probably a stupid complicated way that can easily be shortcutted but my friend asked me how I coloured on the Gimp and I started to explain... a few seconds later and she was already lost so... this is what happened...
I sorta liked it so I've decided (after a lot of thinking and many cups of coffee) to put it up. But not just because I liked it but Ive found there isn't that many Gimp tutorials about colouring and for a gimp user (Like myself) that can be quite annoying!

Anyway this is how I colour on the gimp but if there's a quicker way then, by all means I would love to hear it!

I need help!
My layers, channels, panels box doesn't show up! How can I get it back? (I think I accidentally closed it..)

Go to the drop down menu, 'Windows'. Then you can either click on recently closed docks and select it there, or you can click on 'dockable dialogs' and chose the ones you want to dock. When you've opened the ones you want you can drag one into the other. I hope that helped.

Sorry!! I made a newer tut if you want to see it, it's probably a bit more complicated but still suitable for beginners and its a much better, more professional technique! [link]

RomeCat17 In reply to RevanREK [2009-01-27 19:52:25 +0000 UTC]

Your welcome. :3

It's the part where you color, even if you go over the lines, and cleanimg up afterwards. When colors go over other colors, how do you clean it up without erasing the other color it's on top of?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

RevanREK In reply to RomeCat17 [2009-02-15 15:44:00 +0000 UTC]

That's why I use a different layer for each colour. I know it seams a bit unnecessary but actually when it comes to cleaning it up its really simple because if you want to erase a colour on its own then you can just switch to the layer that its on and only colours on that layer will get erased.
I hope that makes sense to you!
