Thar Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 [spoiler=Original drawing *with link to original*] Original drawing is not mine [/spoiler] This is my first attempt at lineart using GIMP. As you can tell, it is VERY rough and LQ, which I blame on the original drawing size. I figure that the best way to get high-quality lineart is to take a D-SLR photo of the drawing (~.5 MB) and work from there. Besides the lines, I also gave my go at coloring. Seems simple enough, that is until the shading comes in. Nearly impossible to do unless you have a tablet or something. Anyway, besides the obvious, what do you guys think?

Night Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 Shading? Gaussian blur. If you use a bad reference, you'll end up with a result that's probably equally as bad. Especially if you're copying each aspect of it. GIMP is known for producing low quality, but this is a bit excessive. I too use GIMP, quality is only an issue if you don't find ways around it.

.Rai Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 Taking any photo, regarding of camera or lens quality, of a drawing will usually be silly. Scanning will always be a better option. Colour in blocks with the colour in a layer below the lineart. Preferably, you'd paint it in rather than using the Magic Wand. I think Night covered it though.
