![]() ![]() I will sometimes add a new layer that is just for texture. ![]() In practical use, I wasn't as happy with the brushes personally but I find them very useful for adding additional texture towards the end of a painting. ![]() I will probably fiddle with this image some more later.Thanks to everyone who answered peoples questions for me! Once you’re done you can use Artrage’s pretty basic image editing or move back to GIMP etc to add textures and overlays. You don’t have to be too methodical, the filter means any small unpainted areas should look painted, and the paint loading from the tracing image means you can paint back over any mistakes. ![]() I like to think about how I would paint these shapes if I was using real paint. Now start painting! Start from the back and move forward, colouring in blocks of colour, smoothing out overly harsh transitions, and reinforcing boundaries between objects. The “loading” adds colour from the tracing image, which stops the colours getting too muddy and can be useful if you accidentally paint over some detail. I like to set it to the first setting at size 6, with 60% pressure and 40% loading. There’s a bunch of settings to play around with. Duplicating the layer and drawing on the top layer seems to dry the paint a bit, so I do that.Ĭhoose the palette knife, which moves around the “paint” of your image. Imported images are always “wet”, and I prefer the way they look when painted on “dry”. Wet paint moves around more freely and tends to get lumpy. Now, in Artrage paint can be “wet” or “dry”. If it isn’t, set it at Tools/Tracing Options/Automatically Choose Colors from Tracing Image. Make sure the paint is set to come from the tracing image. Set the tracing image to be invisible so you can see your painting clearly. This allows you to colour pick from the unpainted version, which can be useful when your painting gets too muddy. Go to Tools/Tracing Options/Load Tracing Image and load it again. In this case I am using the GIMP filtered image from Tutorial: Filtering with GIMP. A technique for painting over a filtered image using Artrage. ![]()
