In shining technicolour, woo! Otto was done just with the blend tool, then I figured out the dodge/burn tool for me. I even sort of figured out how to fix the guidelines for me (er,myself), though sadly I forgot to fix the hat placement before doing all the colouring in!
To compare:
Btw, is there a way of drawing straight lines on Gimp? Photoshop, I mean. I think they’re largely the same.
iris elsewhere. 
These are cracking. The self-portrait is very you!

Aw thank you! I can’t wait til summer, honestly, when I can go swanning around like that again. It makes me feel like a bit character in an old detective story! ^_^

Yay, shiny!
For straight lines in Photoshop I use the Marquee Tool (top right). Press and hold to decide on shape (rectangular/elliptical/single column) draw the line or shape you want by clicking and dragging (or just clicking for single column) then press alt+del to fill with colour. You can also remove parts of the selection by holding alt while clicking and dragging. Other than that I freehand. Hope that’s helpful 🙂 x

You’ll think I’m odd Iris but my favorite is the bottom one! I love color but also love your lines as is! Love the top one too. I like them all! I’ll shut up now.

Your drawings make me smile. There is something happy-cheeky about them. I was trying to do straight lines in photoshop the other day – no luck 😦

Thank you so much, that is great to hear! As for straight lines, I had a comment saying to: “use the Marquee Tool (top left). Press and hold to decide on shape (rectangular/elliptical/single column) draw the line or shape you want by clicking and dragging (or just clicking for single column) then press alt+del to fill with colour.
