Awesome video. Straight to the point, no self-promotion, no jargon, goes at a pace that a novice can follow. Thank you!
This is maybe the best tutorial I've seen on youtube. Like, ever. Great job.
This is a beautiful illustration effect. Thank You for your lovely tutorial
I love that you are using a red arrow and circling (in red also) where you are in GIMP. Thank you!
Beautiful. I will definitely be using this! Thank you so much.
I really appreciate your work, they're so easy, thanks.
Perfectly explained!
Excellent workshop well presented and clearly demonstrated. Thanks very much for posting.
Hi Dane Lavery! I am glad you like the video. Thanks for taking the time to post your nice comment 🙂
Your tutorials are amazing, thank you.
Hi David Haley... wonderfull to hear... eh read that 😃 Thanks for posting! Have fun!
Oll the best😁👍 it's very beautiful😊
Amazing videos, very clear and direct. Helps me a lot thanks!
You might be the best Gimp Tutorial Channel on youtube, your very concise,succinct and professional. You should probably win some kind of award
for best Tutorials on youtube. I'm not just saying that to get more subscribers, I genuinely mean that. Its refreshing to see well done tutorials after wading thru countless hours
of verbose nonsense.
Yes, Jan made wonderful tutorials. He has joined the stars and we miss him very much
@@clochettebzh8371 I agree we don't need to watch 8 minutes of the video telling us how to download and install gimp
Great Video ! I enjoy all his posts. Best on TH-cam!
Thank you for the video, you explained everything
Excellent thanks for demonstrating.
Super helpful tutorial! Many thanks :)
Thank you so much for this illustration
Once more a wonderful tutorial. Well Done
Thank you Nikos Moukas, I am glad you like it! Best regards, Jan.
Wonderful tutorial!!
This is a very good tutorial, thank you.
Great video, very helpful, Thank you.
Very nice, thumbs UP!
You English is great. Please never apologise for your English. I hear so many people apologising 'sorry my bad english', honestly, we should apologise to you. I only speak one language, we are the ones who need to learn other languages. If anything, I want to send you a virtual 'Hi 5' for being able to speak two languages. We are the dumbass's. lol (Ranting) Love this tutorial. This is my go to technique at the moment. Thanks so much, I love it. I made a drawing of my girlfriend, she posted it on facebook saying ' look what Steve drew'......NO!....don't say I drew it. LOL. Everyone was impressed. Most people thought I drew it by hand, even though I clearly printed my name at the bottom as apposed to signing a hand drawn image. One interesting comment, however. One lady, only later realising that it was done digitally, almost rubbished the image, as if somehow digital art is not real art. These same people would have no music if digital art vanished. People! :) Edit: Fix spelling errors and typos. A thankless task.
Sorry for my bad English....first word should read 'Your'. ;P
Some of the gimp features I really don't know how to use your tutorial makes me possible the things I want to do with gimp....keep it up n thumbs up
I am really glad it helps and that you enjoy Gimp en the tutorials. Thumbs up for you!
WOW! Thank you so much for such and easy to comprehend video. Much appreciated :-)
Great video. I've been using Gimp successfully for many years, but your videos have opened up so many more areas of knowledge for me. Thanks. For the grey area removal, on my particular image I found it easier to use the Colour Select tool and paint over certain sections where I needed the grey removed. Depends on the image, though.
So thankful for this video. Wanted to be able to sketch a photo to paint later, and this is perfect for this. Found similar thing years ago in photoshop, but this works like a charm! Thank you for being so clear.
Thank you so much for teaching these wonderful techniques! I really love it and appreciate the video. xx Blessings
Hello Timea Love&Light! Thank you for your nice comment. I am glad you like the video. Blessings to you to! Have a nice day. Jan. GW.
Hi. I would like to ask you something. Do the finished pictures look good when they are printed? Or do they get distorted?
I would love to show you some of my work to ask your opinion.
If you would like to please add me on facebook/orban.timea
Thank you very much!
Hi Timea Love&Light. I'd like to see your work, but I can't find you on Facebook... sorry. Links don't work in comments (spam). You can however send me a private message with a link, via my channel under 'about' and then sent mesage. And yes, they get distorted when you make a large print, but it depends on size, resolutie, type of image, so you have to try to see what is acceptable. Hope this helps... Have a nice day!
Thank you, it really helped me a lot! Excellent day to you too. And I hope you will continue your wonderful tutorials for a long time. Veronique
Hi Véronique. Thank you and... I will do my best 😃.
so great - besides learning a lot I enjoy your good sense of art
Hi Jotra😄 Thanks for taking the time to post your nice comment. I am glad you have a good time with the tutorial.👍
like, com essa linda explicação ganhou outro inscrito
A fantastic result. I love your videos. Thank you so much for your help : ^ )
I am glad you like them! Thank you for replying in such a positive way ;-)
Zou je ook eens iets kunnen maken met bewegende animatie?
Is maar een vraagje hoor.
Deze ga ik zeker maken...want Gimpen is de Max.🖐️👍
Hoi BB. Animatie zit er voorlopig niet in helaas... ;-( Misschien in de toekomst... ;-) Groetjes.GW en veel plezier met de tutorials!
beautifully executed
Thank you Tom! Much appreciated!!
The best in this GIMP function so far!
Loved it
Top! Thanks!! ☺️
Thank you very much for this tutorial
This is WAAAAY above my pay grade! Wishing for a beginner tutorial.
You're the Boss! Thank you for showing how quickly this can be done, I have used Layers in drawing applications but not sure exactly how they work in Gimp, I know that you made 3 layers but I have seen other videos where they delete layers or make them 'transparent' but you didn't do that, so still very confused with what is basic.
This is an awesome and so educational video. I thank you so much! Of course I subscribed.
Fantastisch mooi !!!Dank je wel hoor ...En wens je een heel mooi weekend toe.Groetje,
Ha die BB! Tof dat je hem mooi vindt! Graag gedaan, en met veel plezier gemaakt. Ook een goed weekend voor jou! GW
Hoi BB, ik zag in mijn gmail dat je een reactie met een vraag had geplaatst, maar ik kan hem bij de tutorials nergens terugvinden, kun je mij zeggen waar je hem hebt geplaatst? Of evt. een persoonlijk bericht sturen? Groet, Jan.
Heb die verwijderd Jan...Ik dacht dat ik een gedeelte kwijt was in mijn Gimp .Wat blijkt ...toch niet.Begon al te panikeren.Ik was aan iets begonnen ...maar te moe.In ieder geval dank je hoor !!!Slaap wel Janneman !!
Gelukkig is het opgelost! Groetjes, Jan.
Thank you very much. Learned a lot. certainly appreciate your time and effort to make the video.
Hey man , great job ,, really superb , helped a lot , thannkkks
thank you so much. this requires attention to detail and also to be your own artist. don't have to be "perfect". do your perfect and be happy with what you make.
Brilliant thank you very much.
Hello Petro McIntosh! Thanks for posting, I am glad you like the vid! Have a wonderful day! P.s. Thanks for subscribing.
I finger Gimp a bit confusing and your teaching is easy step by step. Keep doing this. And thanx again!
You are very welcome!
thank you!
You do have a very unique accent. Sounds pretty memorable. :D
Anyway, nice video!
Hi MaxBurnHeart! I am Dutch, so there's where the accent comes from ;-) Thanks for your friendly comment! Jan, GW.
Haha, I see! :D
No problem! See you in the next video. :)
Thanks helped me a lot
Thank you very very match. Good louck.
Salam, Mohammad Javad Sonebeh.😉 Thank you for your friendy comment 👍
Very Good!
Hi Rodrix CG. Thanks for your comment!!
Thank you thank you
Thank you, thank you ;-)
I just did this. Thank you!
Are you going to upload more soon?
Great tutorial. Very unique voice. Thanks. Keep up the good work. I'm using gimp 10 on Windows 7 can expand window and preview. Any tips and can you also show how to make cartoon character from pencil sketch?
Hi Wow!!! Thanks for your nice comment. I am glad you like the video. 😄 I am not sure what you'r question is about the window and the preview... There is no tutorial about a cartoon from a pencil (yet) 😕 But maybe you like this one: th-cam.com/video/P-fSzJhoLVU/w-d-xo.html Best, Jan, GW.
amazing
Thank you, Sir Bill 😃
Great tips, thank you. But you don't really need the bottom layer, do you?
I was looking for the same effect on animals, since they are hairy, how do we do when it's time to 'clean' it up? Sorry, not sure how to ask this question (Brazilian speaking). Thanks a lot for this great tutorial!
Hello, this is a very good video thank you. Is there a way to convert this file to png. i.e. So that you can put the sketch on any background and only have the lines of the drawings no white or light grey colour?
good job bro
Hello Sir, would you be kind enough to tell me what is the translation of the word "dodge" in French in the version gimp 2.10 because there is nothing close to this word, which in French means "esquiver" ? I thank you for your answer, and I wanted to tell you that your tutorials are beautiful, thank you very much
Hi Véronique Pattinson.😄 I myself am Dutch and the translation from 'dodge' into the Dutch lanquage is also a bit inaccurate. It would be the equivalent of 'evade' in English. But... 'dodge' in Gimp means that you make the area lighter as opposed to 'burn' wich means makes it darker. I hope that this helps you. And thank you for your kind words about the tuts.👌 I am glad you enjoy them. Have a great day. Jan.
Het lukt me niet om de menuutjes open te krijgen zoals die van de paintbrush. Ik wil graag de grootte verkleinen en je hebt het over de Bracket keys. Wat zijn de bracket keys?
Hoi yill levis. Je bedoelt misschien de tooloptions. Als deze niet standaard opent onder de toolbox kun je ze vinden onder Windows Dockable dialogs en dan Tooloptions. Hier kun je de size veranderen. De bracket keys zijn de rechthoekige haakjes op je toetsenbord. Laat maar weten of het nu lukt.
you must be good at drawing - so easily you did the eye work.
but for non-artists like me, i am sure there must be an easy way - after all, you are changing colors to a grayscale image - just black and white, there must be a simple way.
Hi alxndrdg8 😃 You are right, you might want to try this one: th-cam.com/video/AbSsv6_Rimc/w-d-xo.html Maybe the endresult is not as beautiful, but still very nice I think and just straight forward technique. Have a great day and, thanks for your input 👍 Jan.
thanks again
You are.... very welcome 😃
I follow up to the filters distort and value propagate. Then I get the value propagate and change drag corner but don't get the preview that you get.
Is there a Gimp contact as the software is affecting my apps and other programs. Who do I contact?
I need a tutorial in Gimp 2.10.Regards
Great upload but it doesn`t work for version 2.10 anymore.
When I click value propagate the window that pops up does not look like yours where you can see picture.Using 2.10.30
Can you do this tutorial for 2.10.6 Thank you so much!
Hi April Teesdale 😃. You can make it just as it is in Gimp 2.10.6 Basically it uses the same tools etc.👍
Thanks April for subscribing 👍👍
gimp workshop Thank you, I am very new to GIMP. I just downloaded it yesterday
That's nice 👍I have heard from several Gimpers that if you follow the tutorials carefully, you will learn all sorts of things along the way and step by step become more skilled. I hope you have a lot of fun and don't hesitate to ask if problems occur. I wil try my best to answer them as good as I can. Enjoy. 😃
This tutorial is awesome, it has really helped me to get to know some of the filters and color tools, thank you so much!
i like your voice
Hey there, Andreeeeeea.😃 That is kind of you.👌 Hope you like the tutorials too 😂 haha. Just kidding. Best Regards, Jan.
Why is it necessary to have three layers?
How to get A plus on art
I realized that I made a mistake about six steps in. How do I get back to the beginning?
Would be happier if you updated this video, else great...
is there a written tutorial?
Hi Charlene Collins, unfortunatly not 😔, sorry about that. Have a great weekend. 😃
... there are good subs though, if that helps you...
Dear sir, I would like to ask your suggestions for editing something.
I have JPG files of black and white mandala patterns (combinations of geometric shapes), which I designed on various websites and downloaded.
Some of the shapes are not equal in line size and in colour (either black, or light grayish) and I would like to edit/correct the images so that they are all equal in line size and colour, to look harmoniously.
Can you please advise me with editing solutions?
You can message me on Facebook messenger too, we have spoken before.
Thank you very much in advance! 🌻🌻💐
Hi Timea Love&Light 😄. I would first crop them, so they have the same amount of white around the subject. Then scale them to make the size equal for all images. (Image->scale). Then adjust the black and white, with 'colors->brightness and contrast', or with 'colors -> levels. You can also try 'colors->threshold'. Now changing the thickness of the lines, might be a bit more complicated, but I would try to select all the black with the 'select by color' tool and then grow the selection (select->grow). Then fill the selection with black. (Drag black fg color into the the image) I hope this helps a bit, but it depends very much on the caracteristics of each image. Best, Jan. GW. ✌️
@@gimpworkshop9729 Thank you very much for the great info, I will try all of these. Blessings 🌼🌼🌻
You are very welcome, blessings for you also 🙏
