Tracing and colouring manga drawings with GIMP and Ubuntu 8.04

How do you install the pen sensitivity on Ubuntu 10.10 x64?

I used these commands for my Bamboo:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:doctormo/wacom-plus

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install wacom-dkms

The Bamboo works, but I works like a mouse no sensitivity.

Any help guys?

Thanks

@123456iambelial you have to enable/set-up your tablet sensitivity (it behaves as multiple devices) directly in GIMP and Inkscape. In GIMP, it's in the "Input devices" section in the preferences dialog.

[123456iambelial]

@kiddokiddokiddo I went to the Preferences > Input devices.

When I went to Configure Extended Input Devices, it says pressure, X tilt, Y Tilt, Wheel, but I couldn't change the there value from None to 1 or 2.

Also, what mode should I use Disable, Screen or Window?

[kiddokiddokiddo]

@123456iambelial don't touch the X Y and whatever settings, actually; you just need to set the mode to "Screen" for the devices "stylus" and "eraser" (leave pad/cursor deactivated).

Merci pour cette vidéo.

J'ai une tablette Wacom Bamboo A6 et je me demande comment configurer Gimp pour bien l'utiliser.

Quelle est la taille de ta tablette, A6 ? Quel mapping as-tu choisi pour la tablette ? Ecran, feuille ? Tu navigues facilement dans ton grand écran avec ta tablette ?

Quels sont tes réglages d'opacité, dureté, couleur.. pour la pression des outils ?

Avec quels outils tu dessines, peints.. ? Brosse, plume, crayon.. ?

Toutes les astuces sont bonnes à prendre.

Merci ;)

Raaah, connerie de YouTube qui veut PAS me laisser publier mon commentaire de réponse! :(

[kiddokiddokiddo]

Ma tablette est une wacom graphire (avant les bamboo), A6 je crois (suis pas européen).

Pour GIMP, j'ai paramétré la tablette en mode "écran" et laissé tout le reste par défaut (je crois pas qu'il faille activer pad, cursor et eraser il me semble). S'assurer de laisser la souris "normale" (pas wacom) non configurée, sinon elle s'attendra à avoir de la pression.

[kiddokiddokiddo]

Opacité, dureté, etc: tout laissé par défaut (GIMP ne permet pas trop d'ajustements), seulement une "brosse" taille 7 pixels.

i'm searching for such a painting plate...

i don't know how it's called and where you can buy them... can u help me?^^

[kiddokiddokiddo]

Drawing tablets are available in pretty much any retail computer store. For linux compatibility, you should be looking for tablets made by Wacom.

How do you trace?

[kiddokiddokiddo]

I draw the "sketch" on a layer in GIMP with my tablet, then when I'm done I set the laper transparency to 10-20%, create a new layer, and draw clean lines on top.

tight

[colorfullicious]

that's really good. I like how you did the hair gradients

[kiddokiddokiddo]

Thanks, much appreciated :) I daresay that using layer masks for doing hair coloring with subtle gradients changed my life, I use them more and more.

how did you get your wacom tablet to work with ubuntu, pls?

[kiddokiddokiddo]

It works out of the box with versions 9.04 and newer. You may need to go in GIMP's "input devices" preferences and tweak some stuff (but usually not), and then just enable various pressure-sensitive properties of the tool you are currently using.

You may also be interested in the program "MyPaint" which can easily be installed on Ubuntu, and is designed for tablets.

[ouijaboy666]

thanks thats great news. i'm gonna install it next week. tried dual boot with windows xp but PC doesn't like it. Ubuntu stopped working after a couple of times. working with windows for now

[kiddokiddokiddo]

Ça a pris environ une heure et demie (si je compte le peaufinage que j'ai fait après la fin de la vidéo). Je vais beaucoup plus vite maintenant que j'ai une tablette graphique, quand je coloriais à la souris y'a des années ça me prenait >4 heures assurément :)

[merdelodite]

Ouaaaa c'est énorme! Combien de temps ça t'as pris? En tout cas chapeau ;)
