GIMP Tutorial Part 1: Lineart

WARNING: HUGE FILE!!!!!!
_{that's what he said}

one thing I did not note on here: you can do the linework in one layer, but if you have overlapping lines, where one is not visible beneath the other, I suggest you do it on a separate layer so you can cut the part that will be unseen without altering the other.

PLEASE COMMENT ESPECIALLY IF YOU FAVE OR USE!

Part 2: working</sub>

Feel free to ask questions if there's something you don't understand or I didn't cover I'd also like to see your finished results if this helps you at all

My first tutorial! This is by no means a perfect technique, it's just the one I use to color my scans because I don't have a tablet. It's a nice technique--I think--for people who use a mouse (regular or touchpad).

Even if you don't have a scanner and you take slides (photos) of your sketches _Kiddo, you can use this technique if you take a good enough picture. The second half of this tut will cover basic digital painting techniques that I use and a LOT of layer work.

I can also do a tutorial on photo retouching in GIMP if anyone wants it. I use GIMP for all of my photography as well. Which is why my cell phone pictures don't suck as much as they could lol.

I decided to do the tutorial about halfway through lining Sah's hair so that's why he's already been worked on a bit
