Time Narration
00:23 Welcome to Meet The GIMP. My name is Rolf Steinort and I am recording this in Bremen, Northern Germany.
00:30 In this tutorial, I will explain you the drawing tools in detail.
00:37 The first drawing tool is Pencil and it works with very hard edges.
00:44 Here I have drawn a straight line and if I zoom into the image, you can see each pixel is either black or white.
01:01 When I select the paint brush for drawing, I get a line which has soft edges.
01:08 And when I switch back to zoom, you can see a hard line with visible jaggies when drawn with pencil.
01:17 And when I draw with paint brush I get a soft line.
01:29 Back to the pencil here.
01:32 You see the pencil is very sharp in the edges and paint brush is smooth.
01:40 But you can't see here the jaggies.
01:44 This is called trick of the eye.
01:47 When I enlarge it, you see it here, it's anti-aliased.
01:53 This is the main difference between the pencil and the paint brush.
01:59 Otherwise they are nearly equal and their options too.
02:13 Now, let's start with the paint brush.
02:16 Click on the Paint brush tool in the tool box and you get the options for that.
02:25 The Modes are just the same as in the layer modes as you can see here Multiply or Overlay and so on.
02:40 Here is the Opacity slider and by using this you can control the visibility and the colour of the line.
02:50 I slide the value to say 25% and now when I draw, I get a light grey line instead of black.
03:02 And when I cross this line with a new line you can see that the colour gets stronger but it only happens if I go over it with a new line.
03:22 I zoom into this part and select a bigger Brush.
03:26 And now when I draw a line, it's gray.
03:30 And I draw a second line and the intersection of these two lines is dark gray.
03:36 And now, I draw a third line over here and intersection gets more darker gray but when I paint back with the same line it doesn’t get darker.
03:48 So, this works only from stroke to stroke and you can easily paint an area with gray and you don’t have to watch carefully while filling this.
04:15 Here you can see an option called Incremental .
04.20 When you select Incremental, you get much stronger effect.
04:29 Let's go to the options of the Brushes and here you can see the spacing of this brush is set to 20%.
04:45 Brushes is basically a stamp which stamps the same pattern on and on.
04:54 And when I zoom in here, you can see, after 20% of the size of the brush, there is a next impression of this brush.
05:07 Here each brush overlays itself.
05:19 When you de-select Incremental option, you can see each stamping of the brush but there is no painting over and I have to start a second line.
05:34 And when I select Incremental, I can paint over and over.
05:47 Go back to 100% .
05:53 I have covered Opacity and Incremental options.
05:57 Let's go back with the opacity with 100% and I can draw again perfect black.
06:07 Incremental is meaningful only if you have an opacity lower than 100%.
06:15 Scale slider controls the size of the pen here and when I slide down to 1, you get a small size of the brush.
06:31 When I scale the brush to say 0.05, I can draw a very fine line and I set the slider to say 2 and I have a broad line.
06:48 Scale basically controls the diameter of the brush and you can also control with the 'square brackets' on the keyboard.
07:15 With the help of open square bracket, I can reduce the size of brush and with close square bracket, I can increase the size.
07:32 You can see that the brush is nearly invisible.
07:38 So, I can adjust the size of brush without leaving the area where I paint.
07:51 If someone of the GIMP people are looking forward, I would love to have a button to get back the slider to 1.
08:03 So, Scale option is covered.
08:06 And I will cover the brush in detail in next tutorial.
08:12 Here is an option called Pressure sensitivity and I can use it while editing the image. So,
08:30 let's have a look, here, at Opacity.
08:35 Now, when I draw without a lot of pressure, you get a line which is gray in colour and when I increase the pressure I get a dark colour and when I decrease the pressure, I get a light coloured line.
09:04 This option is useful if you are painting a mask.
09:09 This is quite useful.
09:17 Next option is Hardness.
09:20 When I draw with not much pressure, there is a soft border and when I increase the pressure, the paint brush acts like a pen.
09:38 When I select the pencil tool and draw, I get hard border and this can make a hard border if I really press on the tablet.
09:51 I can change the size of the brush with Pressure sensitivity.
10:00 I can also change the colour using Pressure sensitivity.
10:05 So, I select another colour from the background colour, how this one here?
10:12 So, let's select this red colour.
10:15 And for the foreground colour, let's select a nice green.
10:21 And when I start painting here with the selected colour, with low pressure I get green and when I am increasing the pressure I get red and if released, I get green or greenish stuff again.
10:41 And in between the colour changes between green and red.
10:49 The last option is using colour from the gradients.
11:01 To select the Gradients, go to File, Dialogs and Gradients.
11:18 Here is the Gradients.
11:20 And now I just grab this window and pull it to here and now I have a gradient here.
11:28 In Gradients, I have a big selection of patterns.
11:33 Let’s select this one and now I go back here.
11:42 Now, when I am painting, the paint goes through this pattern on the gradient.
11:48 It's quite funny for some things like writing or working with gradients.
12:02 It looks like made out of tube or so.
12:07 These were the options of the gradient.
12:11 These options are common for all the tools which use brushes.
12:30 i.e, Pencil, the Paint brush, the Eraser and the Airbrush which has some additional options.
12:50 The Ink has no brush but it has lot of the other options.
12:55 The Clone tool, the Healing tool , the Perspective clone tool and even tools like Blur/sharpen or dodge/burn have the option of brushes.
13:14 Now, let's go back to Pencil and Paint brush.
13:21 Just clear this again.
13:24 There are some tricks which you can use here.
13:29 The first trick is about drawing a line.
13:33 When I try to draw a straight line its a bit difficult.
13:39 But when I first set one point with a click and press the shift key, I get a straight line.
13:48 Here I have a straight line.
13:51 The next trick is, just set one point and press Shift + Ctrl and now the rotation of my line is locked to 15 degrees.
14:05 And so I can draw easily straight lines with defined angles.
14:20 So, what a master piece here.
14:24 There is something else that you can do with this Shift key.
14:29 For that, select the Gradient tool.
14:37 Draw a line with gradient selected and you get lot of different colours.
14:45 I select a small Brush and de-select the Gradient tool and select my standard colours.
14:55 Now, when I press the Ctrl key, I can select a colour from the line I had drawn and you can see, the foreground colour is changed to the blue tone.
15:09 So, I can pick a colour, somewhere out of the image which is quite nice.
15:17 And if you want to paint in something in a picture and it has the colour you need.
15:25 Just Ctrl click on it and you have that specific colour on your pallet.
15:36 That is a nice trick.
15:39 Basically the Eraser tool is the same tool as the pen or the Brush because it's just the opposite of them.
15:52 The Eraser also paints but it gives the background color.
15:57 You can see it here.
16:00 But, for that, you should de-select the Pressure sensitivity and Opacity.
16:08 When I just switch the Foreground colour and the Background colour to black and white and switch white as the foreground colour and select the Pen, I can get the same effect as the Eraser.
16:25 After changing the colour erasing gets black.
16:41 You can change the Foreground and Background Colour by pressing the X key.
16:50 I have covered the Pencil, the Paint brush and also the Eraser in detail.
