How to easily create and edit student pictures

So, you are sitting down, looking for the perfect student portrait for your OC. Well, I got your back! Here are some easy tips and some software that will help you to create your perfect OC that has been roaming in your mind.

So first, you need something to edit and create your OC with. Here are some perfect software's that have helped me along the way:

[|Krita]

[|Gimp]

[|Paint.Net]

Now that you have an Idea of which software you are going to use, now you need to find the perfect base (w/ or without avatar) Avatar (only if the base background did not have an avatar) hair, or any accessories. For example, for my OC which is also my profile picture i used stuff from the other page [Portrait Stuff#Other|Useful Portrait Stuff]. All credit where credit is due.

Now that you have the base, avatar, hair, and or accessories, we may continue. So now, you hopefully have everything you want and may need. All you have to do is drag the photos from your downloads folder. (Krita is a bit weird and so is GIMP.) Now if you have hair that is gray and or not colored, you have to select that hair and color it. This needs shading and stuff so it can be very hard. I will post videos at the bottom of this page.

Now, lets say you try coloring in Krita and its only grayscale. What you have to do is go into the top left corner where you seer "Image". Click on it and push "Convert Image Color Space" And for me it worked when i pushed the very first option in the list.

Now GIMP has no back button that I could find. But it is A LOT easier than Krita. Mine i just had to move the layers to fit my happiness.

Paint.net was only used to help me shade a little. It's not too hard.

Now here is a video helping explain everything for Krita, GIMP, and Paint.net that I have not covered. [VTbHTU|Krita Tutorial] [|GIMP Tutorial] [|Paint.net Tutorial]
