The paragraph at the bottom about copying and pasting made me respect you some more. The worst thing an artist can be is complacent and fully satisfied, IMO.

Cool beans.

If only I had a tablet!

..Oh wait, I don't have any drawing skills. Curses!

Cool.


Somebody should really buy me a tablet for Christmas so I can try this out.

Thanks for the update of the tutorial. 

That's a pretty nifty plug-in for photoshop.  It pretty much replicates the live paint tool in Illustrator, which I happen to love.

I'll definitely be grabbing it and giving it a try.

Does anyone know, if there's a similar PlugIn to BPelt Multifill and Flatten in the GIMP? I think I never will draw anything in the computer anyway (fpr CG-Art I have Blender and Compositing-Nodes), would be just interesting to know.

Man, anyone, including people who hate drawing, should get a tablet just for the sake of its complete awesomeness. If you do buy one (or get one for christmas) you will be immensely happy forever.

That was my reasoning when I bought a tablet for my friend.  She's used it three times since June.  I should have just bought it for myself, because I'd use it weekly, or at the very least monthly.

Eh, tablets aren't for everybody. They've got a pretty steep learning curve.

Jeff, I'm really sorry for that insane bump, but I thought you may want to add an alternative for GIMP users. You see, when I first read that tutorial of yours, I was quite thrilled except for the fact that I don't have Photoshop. In case you feel like updating the tutorial again, you can link to this: Flatting tools (script for GIMP) (http://registry.gimp.net/node/14051).
This little gem enabled me to get a nice subdivision of an image that didn't even have super-clean lines, enabling me to go from this (http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/8748/melpomene.jpg) to that (http://img244.imageshack.us/img244/1813/melpiecoloured2.jpg) (after a bit of playing with the levels so that the lines are black, of course).

Again, sorry if it's seen as a big useless bump. This tutorial is where I've been sent when I asked how I could colour some line-art nicely, and I thought you might appreciate for it to be useful to GIMP users as well.  :-)
