Help with a sketch

[CSUSam]

I am brand new to Paint.net, and nearly as new to any in depth image software. I used Photoshop a couple of times and know that I found out how to do the same couple of things I am looking to do, but that was years ago. I have already searched the forums to try and find what I need to do, but haven't found anything. It is entirely possible I missed something already posted about this, and I apologize if that is the case.

I have a pencil sketch that I need to submit for a t-shirt design. I need to clean up the little mistake lines, but that seems like it should just be the eraser. The harder part is I want to trace all of the lines with a thicker, black line so none of the pencil shows. The image also has eyes, which I would also like to fill with black. I will attach it so you can see.

Again, sorry if I glossed over a tutorial or something that would have helped, but I really did search and didn't find anything that seemed relevant.

Thank you,

Sam

i think you have to do this manually.. which is allso the easiest way...

Here is some help...

First, run this CodeLab script:

#region UICode
byte Amount1 = 0; // [1] Delete|White|Black 
#endregion

private UnaryPixelOps.Desaturate desaturateOp =
new UnaryPixelOps.Desaturate();

void Render(Surface dst, Surface src, Rectangle rect)
{
  ColorBgra CurrentPixel;
  for (int y = rect.Top; y < rect.Bottom; y++)
  {
     for (int x = rect.Left; x < rect.Right; x++)
     {
        CurrentPixel = desaturateOp.Apply(src[x,y]);
        switch(Amount1)
        {
           case 0: // White chosen
              CurrentPixel.A = (byte)(255-CurrentPixel.R);
              CurrentPixel.R = 0;
              CurrentPixel.G = 0;
              CurrentPixel.B = 0;
              break;
           case 1: // Black chosen
              CurrentPixel.A = CurrentPixel.R;
              CurrentPixel.R = 255;
              CurrentPixel.G = 255;
              CurrentPixel.B = 255;
              break;
        }
        dst[x,y] = CurrentPixel;
     }
  }
}

This will remove all the white pixels.

Next run the "Effects > Object > Outline Object" plugin from my plugin pack using the following settings: Radius 5, Strength: 9

Finally, add a new layer, fill it with white, place it under your drawing, and flatten the image.

Hope this helps.

The result should look like this:

Of course, you'll still have to clean it up. But, that should get you most of the way there.

To start off, I would suggest using the Line/Curve tool ( ) to trace the lines in your image. Then use the Paint Bucket ( ) to fill in the eyes and anything else you want to fill in. That may be all you need, but if not it will at least get you started.

Try the Isolate Lineart plugin.

Adjustments > Isolate Lineart.

I actually did this a while back. And i found the best way is to make a new layer and redo the drawing manually. Remember to use the Bézier curve. http://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/en/LineCurve.html
