I tend to darken mine up a little bit just so I can see the printed pencil lines when I'm coloring with darker colors. Play with the eraser tool, contrast, saturation and brightness until your paper is as white as it should be and your sketch is the desired darkness you're looking for. Do what you can to clean up your sketch.If you would like me to elaborate further on how to actually use GIMP itself, please let me know! At the moment I'm just assuming you have some basic digital art knowledge because this tutorial will focus more on the marker coloring. It's a free program similar to Photoshop. In case you're wondering, I am using GIMP. Open your sketch in a photo editing or art program.You will need to scan your sketch and get it uploaded to your computer.(I won't force you.) If you are using a different method to get lineart worth coloring, you may want to know that I'm ultimately going through all this work just to get my sketch onto a piece of cardstock. Photo Editing Program (also semi-optional)įirst and foremost, modern technology is a blessing- and it's not cheating! It's a legitimate tool and it is there for you to use if you wish.Printer with a Scanning Function (semi-optional, you'll find out why later).(You didn't think I was going to leave you hanging now, did you?) This tutorial is going to focus on coloring with markers as well as how to do the line-art to finish it off. Anywhoo, let's get on to the tutorial, shall we? Lastly, the image I am using for this tutorial was drawn for someone on another site that was looking for some character design help, and they gave specific examples of what sort of clothing they wanted their character to wear. I know my art isn't the best but I'm not getting paid for my skills. I am also not a professional artist but rather a hobbyist and I do this sort of thing for fun. I was also never taught how to use these, so I'm largely self-taught. Feel free to branch out and try your own techniques as you get the hang of using them. As a disclaimer before I begin, I will mention that this is how I do my coloring, and this method may or may not be for everyone. Hello once again! This time I will be making a tutorial about marker art, specifically copics in my case, although the same principles will work with other marker brands as well.
