00.23 | Welcome to Meet The GIMP. My name is Rolf steinort and I am recording this is Bremen, Northen Germany.
|
00.30 | In this tutorial i'll explain you the drawing tools in detail. |
00.37 | The 1st 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 jaggis 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 jaggis. |
01.44 | This is called trick of the eye |
01.47 | When I enlarge it you see it here its anti-aliest. |
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 its gray. |
03.30 | And I draw a 2nd line and the intersection of these 2 lines is dark gray. |
03.36 | And now I draw a 3rd 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 | Lets 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 the 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 | Lets 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 bursh 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'll 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 | Lets 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 perssure 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 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 lets select this red colour.
|
10.15 | And for the foreground colour lets 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 release 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 gradient go to File, Dialogs and Gradients. |
11.18 | Here the gradient. |
11.20 | And now I just grab this window and pull it to here and now I have a gradient here. |
11.28 | In gradient 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 | Its 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 uses 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 and burn has the option of brushes. |
13.14 | Now lets 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 1st 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 1st 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 degree. |
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 lots 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 a 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 palet. |
15.36 | That is a nice trick. |
15.39 | Basically the eraser tool is the same tool as the pen or the brush because its 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. |
