Well i was thinking in kiling the site because it was too slow... but its seems that now its a little more fast ... So i let him be :)

Rigth now i dont have many time to update, i am working in some software tools to help to achive the goal of the site...

Cell shading

This is the final result:
Final result

You can download the original image in Gimp format, sombra1.xcf.bz2
!!

This tecnique is a variation of the last intruduced tecnique, but with a diferent
shadow mask.

To make a shadow mask, we first draw the shadow mask by hand, with a few colors.
I use 4 color pens with 0.3 mm.
You should draw the cell shading with diferent colors, in my example i use 4 ligth levels.
Afther finish paint some squares with the colors that you use.

I am going to make a week break to study... and to put my head in place...
I need to do some phisical exercice, been working to much lol :)

GT (GimpTalk.com) was formed in Dec 2004, in a hope that it will help the gimp users and will provide quality tutorials & resources, alongwith a good community forum where gimp users can discuss/help eachother. Site is currently maintained by Ali Imran (CEO GimpTalk).

Painting with Gimp (3 hand made layer tecnique )

This will be the result in the end of this tutorial:

final result

First hand draw 3 layers, and then scan them:

1 hand draw layer - color
2 hand draw layer - shadows ( i have done mine with a black paint and a brush )
3 hand draw layer - outline
1 step

Now you must clean the images before you put them all together.

1- the color layer ( download mask.png )

image->Mode->indexed
*colormap = black and white (1-bit) palette

Gimp

Some usefull tips in how to use Gimp, i hope!!

Links

Add where any link that you think is usefull!!

OpenSoftware for OpenComics

This is the current list of opensource that can be used to create a comic book

OS ( Operating System ):

Gentoo Linux
http://www.gentoo.org

There are a few opensource operating systems, but i think linux is the one with most
suport and users, thats why i choose linux.

There is a lot of distrubution for linux, i choose gentoo afther try a lot others and i think this is the best.

Reasons

1 - A lot of suport and help ( foruns , how to ... )
This is important because many linux distribution are realy easy to install
(knoppix,unbunto, ... ) but when you want to install your hardware you sometimes dont
find information to set it up, or information to correct some weird bug.

2 - Package manager is one of the best (install and uninstall programs in a safe way, and its easy to add new programs to the list)

3 - All source code installs are compiled,this means smaller programs that run faster

4 - No blue screens ;) , i had never reboot my sistem because of failure.

5 - Its linux it have a lots of cool programs :), you can even make your own supercomputer if you have a lots of computers and gentoo :)

Graphics programs:

Gimp
http://www.gimp.org

Introduction

This book should reflect the work and progress of this project.
Hopefully will be a manual to setup a opensource professional envierment for teams to work toghether in the internet to the only goal of making a professional quality comic book.
