Help on backgrounds

[Korvessa]

The figure on the right has a background color.

I would like to do the same fo rthe figure on the left.

Is there a way to change the backround color - including inside the figure?

[RichardMH]

One way. Create a fill layer under the image of the colour you want. Then Filters->Colours->Erase White Paper. There are others if you don't like that one.

[Old Bruce]

Here is one way. It is done in Designer but you can do the same with any of the three applications.

I think it’s worth noting that the Multiply Blend Mode (as with all Blend Modes, in the majority of cases) will cause the – in this case – greyscale original drawing to be coloured (slightly) differently – see attached video where you can see that some of the individual colour values of the pixels are smaller when the Blend Mode has changed.

This is mentioned in the “Layer blending” page of the Help: “Multiply—The blending result is a combination of the top and bottom colour at each pixel position, always producing a darker value.”

This may, or may not, be a problem, depending on what’s wanted in each case.

You need to make a transparent line drawing of the warrior, so get rid of the shading and block out the shapes, if possible find a line drawing of the same or similar image of Theodred (LotR), then place a coloured background layer beneath.

Convert to line drawing using any of the free online resources to do this

Then add one of various options/ways to add a colour layer to match the other person's background colour
