For sure, you 'll meet minor issue here and there and will need to clean parts manually sometime, but the bigger part of the work is done for setting your flat zones, and it's done very quickly. You might be amazed by how the color-map is exact and clean even under transparent line-art (g.). Once your color map loaded in Krita put your line-art on the top of your layer stack with the 'multiply' mode to see how the two layer are merging visually (f.). Gmic fills the gaps and doesn't care if the line are transparent, or sketchy.

Press Enter at the end Gmic will export a color map image as a result.

Place more markers until the result is good and keep press to update.

At any moment press to update the rendering and gmic will smartly fill the colors detecting edges (d.).

Select colors and place color markers/tokens on the picture ( you can move them or delete them too ).

Secondly, -and that's the most important- it produces a clean result. First, this is an interactive tool and the task become suddenly a funnier part of the job because it has a little something of a videogame. Gmic 'colorize' filter works a bit like a smart fill bucket tools on steroГЇd. 2) What solution proposes this Gmic filter:

So, it is not surprising that even on the comic industry, 'preparing page with flat color zone' is a full time job. It's might not look obvious on the size of the little 'grumpy unicorn drawing' here, but I'm sure you can imagine the long time it represents repeating this on all the island of colors in a comic pages (and more in a episode, chapter or comic book). Here I'm used to color my artworks with the brush method 'a.'. auto-enlarge fill bucket result, gap detection for fill bucket, better selection tools, filter to fill every zones with random colors).

Also digital-painting software proposes often a set of features to make the life of artist less difficult around this two methods (eg.

With practise and time, a lot of artist find their own recipes to reduce this step or improve quality (using lasso tools, vector shapes, etc). of course, both methods (often used together) introduce quality problems (c.) (illustration b.) Fill Bucket : use a fill bucket tool and click the area, then correct with brush (illustration a.) Brush : simply take a brush and fill manually the color on a layer under Here is two way of how artists handle this task since coloring comic in the digital era started (around the end of the 90's): This process is a super long, annoying and robotic work. The first steps at colorizing a line-art is usually with flat zone. 1) What kind of problems this filter will solve? For sure, this type of auto-colorisation will grow everywhere in the coming years. I kept an eye on the filter development since the very beginning as a tester, but I got totally enthusiast about it only recently especially when filter became interactive and more user friendly. The filter improved a lot on this Autumn 2014 ( and was started around spring 2013 ). This filter was created by David TschumperlГ©, project manager and main developer of Gmic and I see a lot of potential in it. I'll try to explain the Gmic filter 'colorize'. This is an article dedicated to my research for using the next generation of computer-assisted tool for colorization image filter. This is what propose this article wrote in 2014. Update 2019: Could I guess my first step with this type of colorize filter would be that popular and known five years later? Nowaday, you can find it in Krita, Gimp via GMIC with more methods, and even Krita made its own Colorize mask.
