Digitally Coloring Art? Anonymous 04/30/16 (Sat) 16:41:42 No.3011

How do I digitally color my art properly?

This is my first attempt at digitally coloring traditional art.

I use GIMP.

Start by using Krita instead of Gimp, continue by not using the paint bucket tool, and finish by looking up tutorials on youtube or ctrlpaint.com

GIMP's pretty bad at digital art I'm afraid.

For a while they were trying to attract people, beginning to include pressure sensitivity. Selling it was a "Free Photoshop".

Then one of the devs blew a gasket because it meant supporting wacom and ever since then they've held a firm stance on it being a "Image manipulation tool".

Krita would be your best bet, but there's also:

http://drawpile.net/ - Not as good, but it has network support.

http://mypaint.org/about/ - No idea whether this is good or not.

If you really do want to stick to gimp, I suggest looking at:
