I came across this Technical Illustration Affect tutorial for Photoshop and thought it would be good to have a go at doing it in Gimp.
Techniques used in this tutorial:
- Pen tool
- Layer masks
- Fading out lines
This is the image I started with (courtesy of Freedigitalphotos.net):

And this is the end result:
You may notice I did not fade out my lines as in the tutorial, as this was a straight on front view of a car. In the tutorial the car was a 3/4 (three quarter) view so the fades went out into the distance.
There is no substitute for practise, practise, practise, which is what I am doing at the moment with Gimp tutorials. Even though I am not needing the techniques for a specific piece of work I am trying to get a good broad overview of Gimp’s features and what you can do with it.
