You already have G'mic. Just go into your filters menu on the top toolbar.

ooh this is super helpful, thank you! 
i was already looking for a way to just get those sketch lines more clean and then use them as line art for my digital painting, but I never figured out how..

can you do the same thing with Photoshop and manga studio?

I don't believe so, unless photoshop has a G'mic option. I'm not sure, I only use freeware.

I dont have my scanner at ready and I dont have a raw scan on my PC at the moment. Can I use a crop from the tutorial to practice?
Hope you dont mind.

C'est geant! x3 J'aime beaucoup votre style~ Et est-ce qu'absolument tout sur votre gallerie est fais a partir de sketch a la main ou il vous arrive d'y aller directement avec une tablette? ...et est-ce que GIMP est le seul logiciel que vous utilisez? x)

Merci Kuro-Rey.
Je change souvent de technique, pour eviter l'ennui car je fais du painting tous les jours pour gagner ma vie. Mais ma technique de base reste simple et toujours faite du mΓͺme type d'Γ©tapes.Β J'utilise surtout Krita Γ present , et aussi Mypaint . Gimp seulement pour ajouter des textes, et pour les filtres de Gmic.

After softening the lines (on first stages), you end up with sharp and a bit darker lines.
Do you have some trick to do that?
Or do you draw the outlines again?
Thanks for being a great inspiration

Thx! Yes, sometime I redraw on the top when the lines are too blury to get sharper edges. Mainly on the silhouette or to split grounds on a picture.

It's been a while since I last searched around for random tutorials, and from your page as well, what do I say... thanks for the tutorial!
I have to say, this is a very big step forward in the pencil --> digital paint workflow. This would also help a lot of my friends who do a lot of pencil-based artwork to transition their lines for digital coloring!

Fantastique !
Très bon tuto, et le rendu à la fin est très doux, c'est agréable à regarder ! En tout cas j'ignorais que Gimp offrait de telles possibilités, et je ne connaissais pas les autres logiciels. Merci~!

Great tutorial, never heard of this gimp plugin, but I'll check it out right away - Might come in handy

Thanks a lot for this, been looking for something like this for a long time.
Now the only problem I'm having is that my G'mic plugin doesn't have the PhotoComix Smoothing effect... that's strange.

Downloaded an older version of G'mic and there it is!

Hey
I have the same problem, my G'mic plugin dosen't have the PhotoComix Smoothing effect either...
So can you please help me by telling what you did/how you found and downloaded an older version to make it work?

Just googled for G'mic orlder versions and found it.
Here's the page for it: [link]
Don't forget to uninstall the version you have already installed first. Have fun.

Thanks a lot for your help.
I'm sorry to keep ask you questions and I feel really stupid, but I can't figure out what to do with the zip folder/how to install it?
It worked fine the the first time I installed g'mic (the latest version), but now it just wont work...
I use windows 7, 64-bit
I really hope you will take your time to try and help me!

Hi! I see you haven't gotten an answer. You probably have figured out already, but if you haven't, try downloading one who ends with .exe and not .zip that's easier.
One back to 1.5.1.9. worked for me

Wow. All of it looks... really, really complicated...

This is great! Just what i need 
But i've been trying to install and open the G'Mic plugin for hours and it's hopeless! I've installed it, there after updated my Gimp (Now i've got the 2.7.5) and it just wont open

Hey FrozenLight, Maybe you can find support for installation on the Gimpuser forum or on the G'Mic forum ; I can only help about the usage here. Courage ! I'm sure it will work with a bit of patience and good advices.
