The patterns I used are default to gimp, but if you want to find more just google “download gimp patterns”.If the space isn’t closed in completely, do touch up with a black paintbrush to close off the area. If you’re trying to fill in a space but the magic wand is selecting more than you want, check your lines.I always use a dot tone for the hair (manga influence?) but like to use the noise tones for solid colors in the clothing. Try to use different types of tone to keep things from running together.I.E, Wonder Woman’s top, boots and star on her crown are all supposed to be red, so I used the same tone for that. If more than one area is supposed to be the same color, use the same tone to convey this.Don’t over do it! Use the already available white space to your advantage and don’t fill every space with tone.Some things to remember when filling in with screen tone: Repeat until you have filled in all the areas you want with screen tone. Choose the pattern you want and then click the selected area on your doodle to fill it. Next, use the paint bucket and set it to ‘Pattern Fill’ (click the image of the current pattern to be given more choices). Now select the area you want to fill with screen tone by selecting it with the magic wand tool. Then go image >fit canvas to layer to shrink the canvas to fit the new smaller size. With the newly saved version, scale it down to the size you want it to be. This is the version you’ll be adding screen tone to. If you’ve already saved your clean version of your doodle, save a new version of it (something like, _1.png). I like to save my work as a PNG now, usually naming it something like _clean.PNG When you’re satisfied, merge the touch up layer down to the bottom layer. Using the paintbrush and white, touch up the area (notice I had to be careful around the lines of the boot as I didn’t want those removed). Select the magic lasso tool and select around the blemish you want removed. In this case, I’ll be fixing the line on the thigh. Working on the new layer, zoom in until the area you wan to fix is large on the screen. This is the layer we’ll add our clean up touches to. Go over your picture one last time and make sure it’s as clean of pencil marks as can be and then scan it, saving it to your computer. If there is any fine detail to do, sketch it in now and ink once you’re happy with it (I did the W on Wonder Woman’s chest after the other inking was done, and no, still not happy with how it looks but that’s about the best I can do on a little chibi doodle). This is where you’ll really see how your doodle looks. Once the main inking is done, erase your original sketch lines. I’ll remove the first line in the touch up phase.Ĭontinue to ink your lines until you’re happy with them (please excuse the blurry pic). Notice that extra line on Wonder Woman’s right thigh? I decided after I inked it that it made her leg look too straight, so I added the second, softer line. *NOTE* This can be tricky to get the hang of at first, so don’t get discouraged! Even if you make a mistake or decide you don’t like what it looks like, you can fix it with Gimp. Using the ultra fine point marker, start slowly going over the lines of your doodle. I also don’t put in the finer details until after the main inking is done. Easy, right? (sorry, this isn’t a drawing tutorial, it’s a “make this picture look good and put it in a digital form” tutorial).ĭon’t worry about getting your doodle perfect – I usually leave a lot of my sketch lines. To get started, draw your doodle on the paper with the pencil.
