Step 1: Open GIMP

Step 2: Click FILE-> Import as Layer-> Choose your picture

Step 3: Duplicate the Photo Layer twice (you will have three pictures)

Step 4: Highlight the top layer

Right click on the Photo

Choose Color->Invert

Step 5: Right Click on the Photo

Choose Filter-> Distorts->Gaussian Blur (set this to 7)

Step 5: Change the layer mode from Normal to Dodge

Step 6: Merge the top two layers

Step 7: Right click on the Picture

Select Colors-> Thresh hold

Set the Thresh Hold to around 242

Step 8: Create a new layer (label it skin)

Step 9: Set the Skin layer mode from Normal to Multiply

Step 8: Choose the brush tool and choose a skin tone and color all of the skin.

Step 9: Right click on the skin layer

Step 10: Choose Filter->Distorts->Newspaper

Step 11: Merge the top two layers

Step 12: Create a new layer (label this layer hair)

Step 13: Change the mode for Hair layer to Multiply

Step 14: Using the brush tool color the hair, clothing, eyes, lips. You do not have to color the background as we will be deleting it.

Step 15: Merge layers 1 and 2

Step 16: Move the untouched photo layer to the top.

Step 17: Change the mode from the top layer from Normal to Overlay

Step 18: Merge Layers 1 and 2

Step 19: Using the selection tool trace around the person in the photo (make sure your selection closes).

Step 20: Choose Select-> Invert

Step 21: Hit the delete button. Your background should now be gone, if the person in gone instead then you forgot to invert the selection from step 17. If the person is deleted then just hit control z and then follow from step 17.

Step 22: Create a new layer (label it Background)

Step 20: Move the Background layer to the bottom of the layers

Step 23: Select the background layer and use the bucket select tool to fill the background with a vibrant color.

Step 24: Optional: use the selection tool to create multiple Triangle designs radiating out from the center and fill them with a different vibrant color using the color fill tool.

Step 25: Create a new layer (label it Bubble)

Step 26: Choose the ellipse tool and drag a circle into some empty space on the bubble layer (this will be the speech bubble)

Step 27: Choose the selection tool

Step 28: From the Tool Options click the button for Add to the Current Selection.

Step 29: Draw a triangle at the bottom of the ellipse to create a cartoon speech bubble.

Step 30: Use the bucket fill tool and fill the bubble with white

Step 31: Choose Select->To Path

Step 32: Select-> None

Step 33: Edit->Stroke Path

Step 34: Set the Stroke Path to 5 and make sure that the color BLACK has been chosen (it will be on white from the bubble fill). Finish by clicking Stroke

Step 35: Click on the Text button and add text over the bubble (this will be your onomonopia that you chose in the beginning).

Step 36: Add a new layer (label it Outline)

Step 37: Put the layer at the top of all the other layers

Step 38: Using the pencil tool, draw a black outline around your picture and some strokes in the hair as needed. This black line will make your picture pop. Only use it where needed, usually around the photo and to a few outlines in the middle.

Step 39: If you are happy with your result you should go ahead

and merge all layers.

Step 33: Save your file as a .xcf file

Step 34: Export your file as a .jpg

Step 35: Send me both the .xcf file as well as the .jpg file and a self-evaluation of your work.
