I think,, scaling, image sizing, grid function and measurement tool, will help you in drawing accurately. In the demonstration, it is 1.34 cm and at 3.01 degree from horizontal. Right-click on the line, choose Edit and click. Similarly, you can measure the size of eye. Click the Paths Tool tool, and draw a straight line in the document where you want the dotted line to appear. At the bottom, you can read that this point is at 1.87 cm from grid line. If you want to draw her left eye, go to Tool Measurement, place the measuring tool at eye point and draw to the grid line. Inside a grid, you can use measure tool in cm and angle with horizontal. You can have bigger grid (like 5 cm) and using measurement tool of GIMP to draw. (4) Measurement Tools: Making smaller grids, is sometimes difficult to remove from drawing sheet. You can zoom in or zoom out, the scale will proportionally change but grid will always remain of 5 cm space. In that case, you can draw by looking at the screen of the computer. Sometimes, printer is not readily available. You can take screen printouts if you want to work with printed grids. GIMP straight line: Step 1 Step 1 is to have an image you want to draw a straight line on. Now, you can draw the Grid on to your Drawing sheet of spacing 5 cm and draw the image by looking at your computer screen. After clicking View → Show Grid, the image will look like Grid. Automatically, Height would be adjusted to 5. For the demonstration, I am using 5 cm of grid size. (3) Grid Function: Now the image is ready for using Grid function.Go to Image → Configure Grid.Ĭhange the default spacing scale to cm. You can use + for Zoom In and – for Zoom out. Image will be scale down in cm to fit your drawing sheet. It depends on the ratio of cropped image. Change the Width to 40, automatically, Height would be adjusted. Grid will help in placing the object correctly, but measure of distance and angle will make line drawing perfect to near perfect.įor scaling the image to approximate the drawing sheet (40 cm x 60 cm), click Image → Scale Image.Ĭhange the scale of Image size from Px to Cm. It is important because, you want to measure distance between two points, angle etc before starting the line drawing. Therefore, it would be appropriate to resize the cropped image to approximate the drawing sheet. I am going to use, drawing sheet of 40 cm x 60 cm size. The moment you select cm, the side ruler gradation changes to cm. So, to change it to different scale, click at bottom combo box and choose cm. By default, GIMP opens with Px (Pixel) ruler. But before, using this function, set the side ruler of GIMP to suitable scale. (2) Scaling of Image: Having cropped out the image for drawing, it is now challenging to transfer the line drawing to drawing sheet.
