Gimp Tutorial: Pop Art

Good question...I have no idea. I tend to work on images that are usually the same size, and I have found this works well for me, but really it is all a matter of taste. Sometimes I don't bother with the newsprint effect at all for a simpler look.

About the cell size for the newsprint filter does that depend on the size of the image, or is that like a good setting for a standard pop art effect?

I honestly don't remember...try both and see what happens!

Very nice tutorial, thank you :-). One question, when you were mentioning the cell size to apply the newsprint filter, did you say 15 or 50? I didn't really understand you...lol. Thank you in advance.

this has made me happy thanks ^^

Niiiiiiice tut dude. Thank you

Awesome tutorial

Great tut, thanks

click on the eyeball in the layers dock.

If you do not have the layers dock, then see my 'recovering lost docks' tutorial

Not sure what you mean...do yuo mean it covers up the background lineart or that you are simply colouring outside of the lineart accidentally?

You need to set the layer mode to overlay to avoid the first thing...to avoid the second, just take more care with colouring in!

:)

I dont under stand the whole matte colour thing.I set the colour but when i use the paint brush tool it goes out of the lines. What am i doing wrong

Im a beginner with gimp. And I totally dig the whole pop art, warhol, Roy Lichenstein thing...

But how Do I make a layer invisble?

either press ctrl+m to merge all visible layers, or right click on the image and select image -> merge visible layers.

um for somereason i can't get the layers to merge
so how do u do that

very good one... Thank you :)

doesn't usually happen, but my mic set-up that day was overly sensitive!

It annoys me on this vid...thanks for bringing my insecurities to light in such a public fashion... ;)

gee.. when you say the letter s.. you make a loud whistling sound... but this vid helped me.. thanks

I personally prefer not to go over the lines. Some choose to go over the lines in the name of art...It's a matter a preference.

(If I understand your question properly, it's up to you HOW you choose to colour something in)

Thanks for your comments, they are appreciated!

Ummm....BIG QUESTION...
Do you have to colour all in the line without gettin out of it.
The reason of this is bcause Ive seen dozens of times, that the people colouring anime and manga in photoshop, putting shadows and all of that, sometimes get out of them, They correct it or simply exist a fastest form to colouring.
I'll apreciate your answer

Ah, and thanks for the tutorial, this was the best than you made.

There are already tuts that cover this...search for 'selective decolourization' or 'selective colourization'

brilliant this is really good i used it and i think it is fantastic

Hi can you make a tutorial on how to make it so that an image of a person is colour and the background is b&w thanks C0NN0RW

Nice tutorial :) Thank you.

Maybe if I have a quiet weekend...although I'd literally just be filming myself trying filters and plug-ins out...you could easily do the same!

Brilliant! haha Nicely done once again.
I have an idea that Im sure us "noobs" would highly enjoy. There are multpile effects under multiple sections. Some videos of what each of these effects do (and what they might be used for) would be really great. Trial and error is apart of learning, but being shown an effect that we might find amazing is a plus. Just an idea. :)
