For my other GIMP tutorials, see my journal footer.

The GIMP can be downloaded at gimp.org. It's available for Mac, Windows, Linux (I believe it's usually default though. I may be wrong) and the source code is there as well, in case you run a completely off the wall operating system...It's also free. Always an extra perk.

It got moved to my scraps for some reason. I'm moving back to where it should be. My GALLERY.

Almost 10,000 views. 2nd one to come up when you type GIMP in the search box. Sweet.

A tutorial that was originally for two friends of mine on this site: ~Globman and ~The-Bassoon-Godess. Now this tutorial is in the top 10 of its category (Over a 1000 views...Dang). So I'm rewriting this comments to sound much better.

A lot of screen shots...a lot of cutting and pasting...And definitely a lot of windows...A lot of typing. You get the point. I spent three hours on this puppy.

I have terrible spelling. Please excuse any errors. GIMP does not have spell check (this was put together using GIMP). I used Fedora 3 (I was using my Dad's computer, I run Windows XP Professional), so my window styles here will be slightly different, but a lot of Windows users have told me it doesn't matter much. You get the information still.

As with any tutorial, this isn't the only way to color. There are other ways...You'll see some suggestions below in the comments (such as Color to Alpha option instead of multiply, that does in fact work for sketches...It might be better even.)

Can ya dig it?
