Hope you like this tutorial :h:
It now can be downloaded at deviantart

1.Open a 3pixel x 3pixel transparent background

2.Goto view zoom 1600%

3. Select your pencil tool and select the smallest circle brush you should have it because it comes with gimp and make this pattern

Also make these patterns as well using steps above you will have different looking grids

after your done making a grid save as pattern and put it in your Gimp patterns folder and your done
and you should have stuff like this


Also to use these scanlines you have to select your clone tool and then select pattern source and you pick one of the scan lines you just made make a new trans layer and brush away the bigger the brush the faster you will get done

Remember always make a new trans layer above or below the image you want scanlines on never put them on the image you can if you want but if you make a mistake you there goes your image or background

[ShadowChild]

I think I have seen this exact tutorial on another site.

Can you post what I should save it as etc? I saved it as a Gimp patern and put it in my paters folder but when i open it nothing happends and the icon is only one of the little scanline type things,

Thanks
Gus

[Drago]

I find it easier to use and choose something from there.

[MattGIMP]

well br7's tut has more choices than the video filter

[gnar]

ok i'm confused as to how you got a huge grid out of that one little pattern you made on like the first step.

[Tixbomber]

You get a pattern by using the clone tool, set to "pattern source", pick a brush any brush, then brush them on a new layer. He put it right there as the last step.

[Mike1946]

i don't like this method,there are much simpler ways to make scanlines

[Tixbomber]

Simpler? The only other way that I have seen is by using the Distorts way(Which is only good for diagonal-right lines). Please enlighten us.

Or just bucket fill with a pattern. Saves you all that brushing.
