Marella Drawing

First topic message reminder :

I got bored and decided to draw my OC Marella.
I'm REAAALLY bad at the Winx art style so I had to look at this picture of Layla for the pose and general anatomy. http://images4.fanpop.com/image/photos/15200000/layla-s2-the-winx-club-15263127-701-1200.jpg

Anyway, here it is. Haven't decided if I wanna color it or not.
Sorry about my awful handwriting, lol. It looks like a bad computer font.
I kinda changed her from the design from the Nick dressup game (which you can see in my post on her in the RPG section), but it's pretty much the same. The dress is generally the same but a tiny bit edited, and I lowered her braid and made it less thick. Made her wings smaller and her gloves longer too.
Keep in mind I haven't drawn anything in almost six months, so it's not my best lol. And I know that one arm and her hands look odd.

http://www.gimp.org/ This is the official website for it, where you can download it.
When you open it up open up your pencil sketch and then click New Layer (transparent) in the Layer category.
Then select the Paintbrush in whatever color outline you're using, I always use black, and go over the outlines of your pencil sketch.
Then make a new layer for coloring, and color each thing in a different layer. So you'll probably end up with about seven layers if it's a simple drawing of just your OC, but if it's complex a lot more. After that put them in order, whatever is on the bottom (like, under gloves skin, or under hair shirt) would be under everything else.
Once you have everything delete the pencil sketch layer and put the lineart on top of it all.

Thnx, but there's one thing.....how do you delete the pencil sketch layer?

Select it in the Layers tab and delete it. Titling your layers make it easier, so title it Pencil or something.

Haven't decided whether or not I'll color it but her face looks weird and I'm horrible at ruffles.
It's her dress she wears to the dance that musa winx helped design.

That's so cool! Smile

I love the dress!
The ruffles are fine, I can't even do Winx-style ruffles Laughing
