This is what I've come up with for this image.Īnd for the final step you simply create a new layer using the ().

Sometimes if you're using the gradient tool you can adjust the line thickness using the curves or levels dialog box. You can also draw to make lines thinner using the white forground color on the airbrush tool. Experiment with these two brushes until you get the thickness that you want for each line segment on each of the layer groups.

Now (after UNSELECTING THE CURRENT SELECTION), either draw on the Dodge layer above it in the stacking order using a black airbrush, or creating a linear black to white gradient using the Gradient Tool. You won't immediately see any changes to the layer. Follow this action by immediately Filling the selection on the choosen layer with a forground color of black (). With the black selected (on each of the bottom white layers), you need to do a () dialog box function on it with about 10 to 15 as the amount, and have the check box checked. You may want to zoom in for better selection accuracy. Now you can turn off the visibility of the Path layers by holding Shift while right clicking a Paths Layer Eyeball.Īnd then you have to revisit each of the bottom white layers of each layer group and make a selection of the black line using the Area Select Tool. Make sure that you perform this while you are on the layer that you wish to draw the line on. This will create a line on the bottom layer of each layer group. In the Edit Stroke Path dialog box choose and a line width of. Then go to the bottom white layer of each layer group and perform an () on it. Make sure you have black as the forground color. Now with the Paths Tool selected a path on the canvas area to select it (Not the paths dockable dialog). I usually name them so that I can see what each one is going to contain. Once you've created this layer group, duplicate it using () until you have the same number of layer groups as you do path layers.

Then you need to change the layer mode of the top white layer to. Īnd then put two white background canvas layers inside of the group by clicking () while the layer group is active or selected. The layer mode of this layer group needs to be set to. Now what you need to do is keep the white background layer, and make a LAYER GROUP above it by chooosing(. Notice how I have all the paths turned on to visible by enabling the Eyeball for each Path layer. Here's an image that I had traced making several seperate path layers. If you want unjoined paths to be on the same layer simply hold the shift key and unselect all the endpoints by right clicking them, and then begin a new path on the same layer by continuing on with the path tool. You may want to find an image to trace, and resize it before beginning this process.īegin by drawing out all your paths on seperate path layers. The image size I'm using is 678x731 which is a pretty small canvas size. This is the type of image you can create with this technique.ĭifferent resolutions will give you different results depending on your desired outcome. Scripts included in the latest GIMP 2.This is a unique way to turn path lines into various thickness lines instead of having to use a Digital Drawing Tablet with Pen Stylus. Besides filters and effects, there are also some scripts that allow you to easily create a calendar, create a CD label, add watermark and more. GIMP 2.8 Script-FUs is a collection of more than 100 scripts, initially created for GIMP 2.4, that have been fixed/updated recently to work with the latest GIMP 2.8.
