    The best GIMP Tutorial I've seen so far. And believe me, I've watched a lot of them, trying to understand Gimp.

    Amazing tutorial. Goes right into how to do it, and is slow enough to understand but fast enough to keep me focused. Everything still works as of 2022!

    Hi I'm just starting to use Gimp, and I just want to let you know that your tutorial is super helpful! I learned so many new functionalities from this and you explained them perfectly. Thank you so much!!! 7 years later it's still helping people

    Hello, young lady!
    This particular video of yours is still positively influencing the careers of artists out here all these years later. In my perspective, you explained the tutorial in a nicely paced and comprehensive fashion. Before I found this video, I avoided doing digital art for a good while, but now, after over 15 years of creating art traditionally only, I'm finally ready to regularly create with digital art softwares, like GIMP.
    So, what I'm fundamentally trying to say, is thank you VERY much for this digital art tutorial. I hope these words can contribute to you creating more content like this on the internet : )

    Hi!! You're welcome, I'm glad the video was helpful!
    In order for the dark lines to stay on top, you need the layer which you isolated it on (I called mines "Lining" in the video) to be listed ABOVE the rest of your other layers in your layers window- is that how yours is? If not, select the layer which ONLY HAS LINING and bring it to the top of your list by clicking the green arrows.

    I know I'm about 6-7 years late, but I sometimes use this method too! Also, thanks for demonstrating the burn and dodge tool!
    I personally mostly use the path tool the shape out the area that I want to color. To me, it's a bit faster than this one. But hey, any kind of car will get you to the same destination at the end anyway. 😊😊😊

    I had a couple of problems while following your instructions. First, I had a very hard time aligning the new layer perfectly with the inked layer every single time I wanted to color something, which made the process take forever. Second, I ended up painting over my inking, which I did not want to do because I'd have to redo all the lines.
    Fortunately there are ways around it. It's not actually necessary to create a new layer for each colored area, just use a layer for colors and paint inside the lasso selection. Also, I didn't realize I had to set the color layer mode to "multiply" rather than "normal" to keep the color from overlaying the inked lines.

    Great tutorial. I wish you would make more videos for producing art with GIMP, but also G'IMC and Inkscape. Background music was just right and your voice makes listening enjoyable. I've tried to watch tutorial where the voice was a computer reading a script. Those were the absolute worst! Great work - keep them coming, please!

      @youngthinker1 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      To clarify into a step by step process:
      1. Select the area you wish to color, with any of the selection tools.
      2. Create a new layer from the selection with the paste command.
      3. The new layer moves to the (0,0) point of your template, so you have to move it to the correct position.
      4. Select a color and paint the area.
      5. Use the dodge and burn tools to brighten or darken an area respectively.

    Why do you copy to the new layer and try to move it to the right place? After you selected the area, simply add new layer and put color inside selection (with paint bucket or brush) - it'll be in the raght place from the start ;)

    • @WSGFunChannel
