Create Caricatures with GIMP | Tutorial

[@impeterator]

This has nothing to do with the video but I wanted to thank you for your tutorials. While I do no professional work I designed a photo book with custom made graphics to propose to my girlfriend. Most of what I can do I learned by watching your videos and experimentation in the Software. So thank you for helping me create a personalized gift that we will forever hold dear.

[@LogosByNick]

That's awesome, glad to help!

[@PeterDaltrey]

Such a relief to hear someone talking....rather than dreadful music banging away and the unspoken demonstration proceeding at 80mph so impossible to follow. I`ve been using Gimp for years, but I got a couple of new moves from this video. Thanks

[@webberzonline7100]

Hi Nick, just like to say I discovered your channel today and well, I think i've binged about 20 of your videos XD I know a lot of people might find it annoying that you're always reminding viewers of even the most basic of key shortcuts like ctrl+z and the like but in my opinion I think its great. You dont know what video will be someones first time getting into this and they may not know the basics. Fair play man, keep it up! (P.S. Dont think I need to say it but yeah, you got a new sub today)

[@LogosByNick]

Thanks for the feedback. That's exactly why I mention those basic steps in every video -- don't want to alienate newcomers. Welcome aboard!

[@webberzonline7100]

@@LogosByNick Haha no worries mate, really enjoying the content. Followed a good few now and its surprising the amount of things you can actually do on GIMP.

[@flyaboveall320]

I want to thank you for all your hard work putting these tutorials together. Clear concise and informative. You are helping me out a great deal. Thanks keep up the Great work

[@RevvedUpKnowledge]

You are the man! I’ve learned so much from you thank you so much for everything. Keep doing what you do!!!

[@jacobopstad5483]

Wow, that was so much easier than I had imagined it would be.

[@markthompson4859]

Fantastic! I found Nirvana! Many thanks for your work. At 53, I'm finally delving into the vastness of G.I.M.P, something I should have done years ago when it was launched. Paradigms are disappearing, layer mask by layer mask.

[@surinfarmwest6645]

Nick, thank you for sharing this, this looks like a lot of fun that may create a lot of laughs. Good tutorial and thanks again! West

[@oldaccount-j8j]

That is so cool! Once my family had our caracatures done by a street artist and they came out so neat but we were never able to have another one done. Maybe it's time for me to dust off gimp lol

[@MrZatyro]

Idk if it was mentioned, but just in case, you can also hold space bar to toggle the move tool on! super useful but easy to miss function

[@netwrxman]

@Logos By Nick- Thanks for putting your videos out there for us noobs! So I know it's been 4 years, but your anisotropic settings are quite different than the default settings when running the new version of G'MIC. Can you provide the values you used or offer some suggestions?

[@NafeeTutorial]

awesome tutorial, thanks

[@robgoodsight6216]

Incredibly clear and good tutorial! thanks!!!!

[@boxterguy3612]

What do you do if my Mac does not have the Gimmick filter. That's key to making the caricature work. It's difficult to find a work around.

[@brahyanrengifo5232]

Nick thank you so much. you are a brilliant professional god bless you.

[@caravanlifenz]

I love your tutorials.

[@TheHazelip]

I would love an update to the new sharpen filter they combined with unsharp in 2.10. I hate it and cannot figure it out.

[@aurimo_]

Dude you are great at this. Even though I wasn't planning to make something like this you give a lot of great tips about using gimp

[@VLOGSBYAAY]

Your tutorials are the best

[@GeoScouter117]

I really enjoy your videos. I only hope that one day with enough practice I won't "need" a tutorial. Of course I'll still watch and learn from you.

[@mikefreeman2948]

Hi Nick - love this video and effect! - one question please :) If the subject had long hair, what would you do when it comes to floating the head from the neck? include some/all of the hair? - when I include some, it leaves holes in the original image behind, if I include all, it covers the body - any advice greatly appreciated!

[@toddcooper7660]

Just trying to learn GIMP. Your videos are great! Question: What if you have multiple subjects that you want to caricature on the same image? I tried creating multiple floating layers but I could only create one. Thanks for the videos!

[@LewDiamondz]

Hey... Teh G Mic link doesn't work anymore. Is there another way to access it?

[@invazzorx7121]

more gimp tutorial please!!! you are amazing man!!!

[@mikerodrick2430]

How long did it take you to become this proficient in gimp? There's much to learn so how do you retain it all? Excellent vids btw!

[@spookshow8776]

My Unsharp Mask does not look like that. It has the option Radius, Amount, Threshold. Did I break an option somewhere??

[@eterno1610]

Nick, you can actually mark numbers in these filters and edit them as you want without stretching bar.

[@ildikolorinczy1928]

Hi Nick, what could be the problem when the Move pixels function doesn't work? (Grow and Shrink area does.)

I NEED HELP PLZ EVERYTIME IN GIMP. IF I DRAGGED IN A COLOR IMAGE IT TURNS INTO A BLACK AND WHITE IMAGE AND I DO NOT WANT IT TO BE A BLACK AND WHITE IMAGE. I JUST WANT THE REGULAR IMAGE COLOR. PLEASE HELP

[@redrabbitization]

Hi Nick, I'm using GIMP 2.8 and the warp tool is not available.

[@precurious1148]

You have 38 tools on the left to finish this project. My GIMP program only has 16 tools. Is there something I have to do to receive the extra, necessary tools?

[@JuanCastro-C]

Thank you Nick

[@manuelfraustro984]

Hi Nick! I just started to follow your channel and it's full with good value. The only question I have is which would be the best format to save this image to use it for printing on a canvas or something like that? I would like to make some gifts to my friends.

[@artymik404]

I followed it till 4.13 but when I try to scale down the body it is still connected

[@wayner.6679]

Great tutorial. Any tip on getting G'Mic installed on mac? There are no instructions anywhere. Installing directly into the plugins folder doesn't work. Thanks for any help that you can give.

[@evamlynarski96]

trying to figure this out too! I have no idea and it's driving me nuts

[@Shadowbanzi]

Great video when i finished trying this some parts of the hair were left slightly transparent so when a background was added it was very noticeable how would you correct that?

[@LogosByNick]

I'd probably use the Clone tool to fill it back in.

[@tonyleonard1471]

Awesome tutes. Keep them coming

[@nosleep9263]

i downloaded gmic installer, install it and i don't have in filters option that says gmic, and also i don't have that warp transform... :(

[@seannyberg2797]

Im wondering if Gimp can ever be used to do professional stuff because Im really trying to learn shortcuts and stuff in Gimp, but if I later get Photoshop in my life, will all of Gimp stuff be worthless?

did you use mouse or pen tablet for everything happen on this channel?, thanks Nick

[@katemccarthy2463]

The float tool was greyed out. So could not use. Please advise what I must do.

[@LogosByNick]

That can happen for any number of reasons, but most commonly is because there's no selection enabled.

[@katemccarthy2463]

@@LogosByNick The only way I can get to enable is to go to 'All' and then it comes up. A second problem I have now is when I go to 'New Layer' a pop comes up and I can't continue as you describe.

This is so frustrating as things don't come up as they do in your tutorials.

When i hit the delete button to get rid of the background the background just became white and didnt really delete it

[@LogosByNick]

Before getting rid of the background, make sure to right-click the layer and select "add alpha channel" first

[@Relivino]

Hey Nick! I'm pretty sure you get this question very often, but why have you actually dumped Linux for Windows? You should give it another try!

[@LogosByNick]

I just wanted to use the Adobe software more frequently, and for other reasons too like gaming. I'm going to dual boot with Ubuntu again once I get around to it.

[@Mrblackpen15]

Hello Nick Great tutorials Long time follower, first time commentor. Quick query. I finally made the jump from Gimp 2.8 to 2.10.8 and once installed I get error boxes (gmic_gimp_qt.exe - Entry Point Not Found) along with a few others before the app will open. Have you had any experiences with this? I have checked numerous tutorials and forums to find an answer with no avail. I was working on a caricature in Gimp 2.8 and realized the warp tool wasn't in the tool box. So like all those wiley gaming corps I need to upgrade in order to play. So I upgraded to 2.10.8. Then I ran and installed gmic filters but upon opening the new version I noticed (along with the errors) that gmic wasn't an option under the filters tab. I have deleted and reinstalled a few different versions of 2.10.8 but I keep getting the errors. Which I feel is a result of not being able to see/use the gmic filters? Idk. Could really use some advice. Thanks in advance

[@LogosByNick]

That's odd, I'm not sure. I had the same problem with error messages myself once I upgraded to 2.10, but they went away after I installed G'MIC. I never had a problem with it working either. Sorry I couldn't help further.

[@نزارناظمالأسدي]

So is I,I have the same problem as yours.I hate 2.10.0 - 2.10.8.Thank you for your comment Mrblackpen 15.
