    By far the best GIMP tutorials I've found on YT yet! You explain it so much better and make things so much easier. And you do videos on super cool effects like this, I love it!

    Absolutely amazing tutorial! Unlike many other tutorials that only tell you steps and how to make a specific picture I like how you explain what things do, the what and the why so we can use it later. The explanations etc, in my opinion it's what separates you from the rest. Appreciate the videos, can't wait for the next one.

    I use your GIMP tutorials to create projects for my Intro to Computer Graphics class. We use GIMP on our Raspberry Pi's. Camp Build Your Own Computer (Camp BYOC). With kids ages starting at ten, for some of them, this is their first taste of an image manipulation program and your projects/tutorials are perfect for their level. Many gracious thanks you's for your generosity and teaching.

    Hi Nick, I've been a huge fan of your channel for over a year now and I'm very happy with your work. Also, I've gone from nothing to practically being able to make my own designs for shirts now. I'm a medical student and I just want to request if you could make a tutorial on how to do a vector of Asclepius' Rod (the symbol used for medicine - it is a rod wrapped by just one serpent; different from the symbol with two serpents). That would be really awesome.

  • @animegirlnanami2897
    @animegirlnanami2897 Před 7 lety

    I'm officially in love with your tutorials! I've been following along with my own pics. Speaking of, when I got to the part where we adjust the color threshold (4:04), I lost a lot of the details (such as hair and a scar across the face), so my final result is more cartoon-effect, less realistic. Still cool, but is there a trick to keeping the finer details? Thank you!

  • @mikefreeman2948
    @mikefreeman2948 Před 4 lety

    Hi Nick, how would you recommend 'floating' the head if the subject had long hair around the face - would you include that in the second path too?
    great video! thanks in advance

    @shubham_dalvi Před 7 lety +32

    When I saw thumbnail first, I thought it was you. Maybe, when you will upload how to cartoonise the face, use your own photo. I am eager to see the face behind the voice. 👍

  • @timsmith3005
    @timsmith3005 Před 7 lety

    How would I make a halftone that i can put on photo resist. To use as a sand carving mask? You know more about gimp and inkscape than any one that I can find. Thanks for all the info that you share

  • @jennybolt8499
    @jennybolt8499 Před 7 lety

    Great videos!! I've followed a few of your others and have had a ton of fun learning! However, I'm having an issue with this one..
    I've done everything step-by-step exactly how you've done it. But every time I try to invert the photo (after using the Path Tool around the face), it deletes the entire photo.. It keeps the outline of the face, but everything becomes transparent (layer is still 100% opacity). I'm still learning GIMP, so I have no idea why this could be. I've tried googling the issue, I've tried using different photos (4 different ones - all getting same result), so I'm a little lost. Do you have any insight to why this might be happening?

  • @mariajosevarelamiranda6618

    I have a question, it looks so good for you because the man has a beard that defines the face shape, but when I do mine the only thing that comes out is my hair,, eyebrows and eyes and it looks weird, don´t know if you know how I can improve that.

    Do you use a 4K/UHD monitor? So yes, would you recommend a 4K monitor for GIMP and Inkscape?
    Keep up the good work!

    • @LogosByNick
      @LogosByNick  Před 7 lety

      Yes I just recently bought a 4K monitor to complement my new build, but it was mostly for gaming. You really don't need 4K for basic graphic design. If you're still interested though the full details are here: logosbynick.com/look-new-design-setup/

But after the first photo I did, my photos with the faces tend to be bigger than the photo with the landscape or sky and I end up unable to fit the whole face in. Is there any chance that you would know what I am doing wrong? :/ Thanks

    @aaronmfaulkner Před 4 lety

    Recent subscriber here. Loving all the tutorials! Quick question on this one: after adjusting the threshold you go on to pick the color white. When I color select the area and push delete the entire face goes away. What am I doing wrong here? Do I have an option in the color dialogue box checked that I shouldn't? Vice versa. Been following through the steps with the video but the entire face keeps disappearing. HALP!
