In the current result we have quite a thin (even nonexistent) contour. To do a tattoo, first of all, the artist does the contour, then he fills it up. For this example I used simply strength=0 and smoothness=0. Play with the strength and smoothness to get a satisfying result. The tool I generally use, and that always gave me satisfaction for this kind of work, is in Filter->G'MIC menu->Colors->Metallic look. The easiest way to do it is to select the alpha layer background with the magic wander, then menu->invert selection. But G'MIC offer so many possibilities that you should find out the best for you.įirst of all, you have to select only the draw you want to put black and white (some tools turn the alpha layer to black or white). There are a lot of tools to make this draw black and white, and the example here might not be applicable to every draw. Remove everything useless until you have a picture similar to the shown one below. It represents the alpha layer which figures transparency in the current layer.

Then push the "supr" key, a checkerboard should appear. Do not forget to deselect the anti-aliasing option in the "tool options" tab. Select the contiguous selection tool (the magic wand) and try to select the background board and everything you want to remove. This is the basics, one of the first things we try when we want to play with pictures editing. In this example we will start with two pictures: the tattoo original image and a photo of a back: Useful to get a preview, or to do some stupid jokes.

This tutorial describes how to use krita to make appears a tattoo on the skin. I'll introduce here the various (only one for now) works I did with this tool set. G'MIC is a full-featured open-source framework for image processing, distributed under the CeCILL license.īy combining these two, you can get a nice alternative to PhotoShop, even if it gets less fully automatized tools, you can do everything with quite a user-friendly and complete interface. Krita is designed to be a digital painting application distributed under the GPLv2 license. Krita is a raster graphics editor based on Qt 5 and the KDE Frameworks 5.
