If you’re already familiar with image layers, feel free to jump ahead to the next section. Layer modes can be changed in the Layers panel.īefore we go any further, it’s a good idea to make sure that we’re all on the same page about how layers work in GIMP.Most layer modes are highly technical and not in common usage.There are 38 different layer modes in GIMP.Layer modes are also known as blending modes.Layer mode determines the way a layer will affect the layers below it in the layer stack during the compositing process.Then apply, and set the layer to lighten only. Set the cell-size to something you like, and put the color mode not as RGB, but CMYK. I also create a new layer from visible, which I make black and white. Make it look something like the top image and then set it to darken only. Go to Filters>artistic>photo copy (I’m pretty sure that’s what it’s called). You can stop there, but I do a few more things.įirst, I duplicate the top layer and make a photo copy. Then, create yet another layer from visible and go to Filters>Blur (I think, my GIMP’s in swedish) and selective gaussian blur set to around twenty. Paint over her skin with a black brush, on the layermask, to make her not seem pockmarked anymore. Then add a layermask to that layer, by right clicking. New layer from visible, then Filters>Artistic>Cartoonify and something like these settings: Then I play around a bit more with the colors.Ħ. I also make the background entirely black, aside from the microphone, which gets painted blue. Those layers are in the mode multiply, because otherwise the colors don’t show up on her pale skin. Then I fill in the skin with pink, and paint the eyeids blue. If you don’t have a black background, you can use the same method as above. The black background does make it easier for me, because I don’t need to erase that part. It depends on which image you choose, but here her skin is red-ish and her hair orange, so in the black and white image it’s quite hard to see where her hair ends and the skin begins. eraser and the color layer to check the edges of her hair. It’s got very clear edges towards the hair, so after marking I can simply press delete and some of it from her skin disappears. I use a big brush and fill it in haphazardly, and then I straighten up the edges. I duplicate it, hold down shift and press the green arrow pointing upwards. You can check the other layer modes as well for what you think looks best.Īlso, to check that I’m painting her lips and not the flesh around, I check the color layer at the bottom. I zoom in, pick the brush with the clean corners and paint it red on a new layer set to color. This means that I can change them later on using the hue saturation tool. Time to color! The colors I put now are temporary, and all on separate layers. Sharpen is under Filters>Improvements (my GIMP’s in swedish and I’m uncertain if this is the correct translation) >Sharpen. Make a new layer from visible, either by the Layers menu or right-clicking. Resize to width 500 or 540, depending on which dimensions you use, and sharpen. If you use curves, up at the top and down at the bottom.Ĥ. This time I use curves, because I (for some reason) feels like it gives me more control, but do what you’re comfortable with. Here’s mine:Īnd then I add some more contrast for cleaner lines. The first part brightens, the second adds contrast. Move the right arrow to the middle and the left arrow to the middle. Don’t use grayscale on this, because then you can’t use color later on, but all the other ways are applicable. If you don’t want to do that, you can check here for every single way to make an image black and white. Simply add a gray layer and set the layer mode to color. The reason that there is now two layers is because you want a color copy as well, so that when you’re coloring the picture later you can fill in similar colors (if you want of course, you can also color the picture green and purple or something). I first make the duplicated layer black and white. This one you’ll turn high contrast and black and white. Copy your current layer, ctrl+shift+D, or right click and click duplicate layer. What I’ve found to be typical in pop art by looking at examples, is that it’s a close-up. # gimp # tutorial # mine Pop art tutorialġ.
