Note that in fact, you're making those parts transparent, since you're painting on the mask rather than. Use the bucket tool to fill the areas outside the rectangle with black. Drag to select the rounded-corner rectangle area that you want to be non-transparent.
#GIMP DRAWING WHITE ON EMPTY LAYER SKIN#
Here I’ve coloured the skin and the shoes with the paint tool and the airbrush. Step 3 ¶Ĭreate a “Skin” layer over the “Details” one. Don’t be too afraid of going outside the shapes, in the next steps we will see that some stuff will “disappear”, covered by other layers. As you can see, thanks to the multiply mode, the black lines of the sketch are kept while the white zones are “transparent”. In this example I’ve used it for painting the blue doughnut. Step 2 ¶Ĭreate a new layer and call it “Details”. From now the sketch layer will stay forever over the others. Now turn the mode for the sketch layer into multiply. Step 1 ¶Ĭreate a new image of the wanted size and place below the sketch layer a pure white background layer. It doesn’t necessitate to be truly a black and white image (2 colors), often a well contrasted grayscale image is better (use contrast autosketch or/and the brightness-contrast tools).

If a layer mask is filled with black, NONE of the layer will be visible.

Intention ¶įirst of all you have to acquire through a scanner or something similar your sketch. If you fill a layer mask with the color white, the entire layer it’s linked to will be visible. If the option to Add Alpha Channel is greyed out, then your image already has it and you’re good to go. This will ensure that you delete the background to transparent and not to white or black color. Right-click it and select Add Alpha Channel.
