Advice on Redrawing an Image

[TheNoraShinki]

Hi

 

I was wondering if anyone could walk me through the best method to clean/redraw this image, I'm not really well versed at using paint.net (or any other image editor) so detailed help will be appreciated!

Which image?

 

Ok. I see it. What do you want to do?

Basically, I was wondering, what way would be the best to remove the text in the image.

You can try using the Clone stamp tool for some areas. Unfortunally, most of the characters and the text are over the subjects.

Ah, I see, I probably should of said, but I tried to do something about the text covering the characters using the colour picker tool and the line/curve tool, and managed to somewhat fix the right characters arm covered with the text, but when I tried to fix the background, the same method wouldn't work due to the way the colour in the background blends.

For the background, use your color picker to pick colors on both sides of the text (right click to pick for secondary color), then select around the text, add a new layer, and make a gradient across the selection. Deselect, then use gaussian blur to blend the edges.

Hello.

 

You could try this tutorial: http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/19117-the-subterranean-copypaste-blues/

 

If you want to redraw the picture and anime characters, you could try doing some youtube searches. There used be quite a few paint.net "how to" videos for using paint.net to trace anime, recolor anime, and draw manga (one of my fave videos was an old one tracing/coloring Haruki Suzumiya). Try using some key words for your search, like, "Paint.net how to draw manga" or "paint.net how to trace anime".
