How to color LINES in line art using GIMP?
-
I understand how to actually color in the line art, and I did that, but now how do I color in the actual line art lines? Thanks!

Answer:
Well, that depends on how you created them. If the image is scanned in you'll need to remove the background first and then right-click on the line layer and click "alpha to selection."

Select the lines, and colour them. Or If the lines are on their own layer, separate from the colours and background, and that layer has transparency, hit the Lock option in the layers dialog and paint over the lines. Of course GIMP (a raster image editor) isn't designed for doing line art. You'd be much better designing line art in a vector image editor such as Adobe Illustrator or the Open Source vector image editor Inkscape http://www.inkscape.org - then all you would need to do is click on the line, and change the stroke colour.
