Some tips: #1 use a larger canvas than the target image size to draw on, so you can push parts of the image out of the intended drawing area. To test things or have a backup. You can always copy the result out of this canvas later #2 create a palette , for quick reference you can draw it directly into your working canvas to pick the colors from there.
Drag the image on the software directly from the Directory, it'll ask for "Anchoring" or "create new layer". Click on new layer, push it one layer beneath. Hope it helps
okay so question... my pencil doesn't do anything. now what? I have no colors to choose from. I haven't been able to find a single video that's been able to help me even get started until now, but now I'm finding out that my GIMP doesn't even let me choose colors as far as I can see for the pencil, whereas I can clearly see you can choose colors in the vid. what the heck is going on??
i just had the same problem. Really weird design. I've managed to change colours in the part where it says change foreground colour. But idk how to permanently fix the colours to the program instead of opening it every time...
You will have to click on the foreground color every time to change color, then once it's selected you need to hit the ok button. The foreground color will change in the little box on the side. There is a way to open the color selector in it's own window and move it around your drawing space, but it gets bothersome moving it every time I want to draw in an area so I never have it open. You can also assign a hotkey to open it, but I don't know how to find that in the menu. It will probably be something like "assign hot key to open foreground color menu."

Thanks for the clear instructions! I can't thank you enough!
How did you transfer the image of the balloon with pixelart?
menu bar > file > open, and find your image in your files
@CakeTopper-O Thank you, but I already know this part, I wanted to learn how to draw in pixel art on top of the image like in the video
@@JonhWick-r9h ohh. in that case im not sure
@@CakeTopper-O OK but thanks for the help
How did you resize your image to fit your grid so nicely? Do you have a video on that part you sped through? Thanks!
would of bin nice if you could of explained that last half of the balloon drawing, but thanks for the info
How did you pixelize your original image? It looks like the picture you were drawing over was already pixelized.
I think she actually just reduced the size extremely because her template was like 24x24
Thank You
Very Helpful.
Wow! Thank so much.
how did you load the image i want step by step
Please

@@joshbarwick that's really weird. I guess we gotta figure something else out for now
