Krita Essentials: Line Smoothing

It's like midnight and I'm trying to learn about krita but your voice is so calming that I'm slowly falling asleep. Amazing.

oops found it.....

[@felixbertoni]

Actually, "delay" setting is extremely useful if you want to draw smooth lines with sharp angles. Because you actually have to push the circle away to make the marking tip advance, you can simply stop pushing, change direction, and then push again and WOW, you get a perfectly sharp angle. It also is really good to continue a line that is already drawn, as it will help you match the flow of the line by showing you the angle at which you are at regarding the line. This setting is a bit hard to get used to, but once you get it is amazing, as for example to draw eyes. It is also really convenient when drawing with mouse, as you tend to move slower and more linear when you use a mouse and delay works well with that. Thanks for the tutorial btw !

[@walterhaenen7819]

Vh

[@actuallyhusksofcorn3028]

I have been playing around with the Krita configurations tab for a near literal three hours in an attempt to get rid of the input "dead-zone" that occurs around the cursor on account of the "Delay"-option in the tool tab... I can't believe it was that simple. nearly went mad over the blasted thing. Thank you, honestly.

[@MrVenat0r]

Been trying to learn Krita after 10 years of not drawing and this just blew my mind. Thank you.

[@lauraz9397]

Okay okay after crying about my shaking hands and the horrible lineart I am making in krita - you just changed the game for me!!! Thank you!!

[@ronthehybrid]

I used weighed smoothing for clean sketches

[@tunixx740]

RontheHybrid Yeah I just saw that and tried it out. It works very well :)

[@bloodplussayadiva]

I've been having so much trouble figuring out how to use my program. Thank you SO much for making this video. It's the most helpful thing I've found thus far.

[@Ackchyually]

my face when I used 'Stabilizer' Brush Smoothing for the first time: 😮 Thanks for the video.

[@oliviamesser5541]

thank you so much this helped me a lot I've been drawing my whole life but I've never drawn digital before I was so confused on how do get my lines smooth AND I FINALY GOT IT!!! once again thank you!!

[@elegantlyawkward9981]

Thank you for making this so easy to understand by speaking slowly and clearly! This has helped so much!!! A lot of tutorials are spoken to fast or the girl is super shy and speaks to quiet.

[@BrinkofArt]

Thank GOD, i finally found a good tutorial about the stabilizer!

[@sarah.ms.artx3925]

Probably the best tutorial! Thank you so much

[@justin-en]

It's nice because you discussed some great features. Your comments at the end made me laugh a little.

[@tctcdrone79]

This tutorial was actually helpful! Thanks for making it!

[@c.d.dailey8013]

Oh wow. This is so helpful thank you. I have just finished my first cell shaded picture on Krita. I use the stabilizer and my lines are nice and smooth. This is amazing! :D I am used to fully rendering stuff with realistic shading and texture. Cell shading is something that I am new at. I completed my first one. It looks nice and decent. It is also quick. If I did the picture my normal way, I would still be working on it. Cell shaded is good for getting stuff out quick. It is good for things requiring a high quantity of pictures. The most difficult part is making smooth linework. This video was very helpful for that. I just switch the brush smoothing in the tool options from weighted to stabilizer. There is a tradeoff. The stabilizer is good for linework, because it is nice and smooth. However it does make the drawing process slower. So it is best to turn that off when doing sketching and coloring. I have recently learned that clipping masks in a thing for more 2D kind of art. Personally I would rather fill in the color manually instead. When I do so, I add in cell shading. One local color would have many countless shades blended together, if I shade my normal way. With cell shading. I just have three. There is the main color, the shade and the tint. I apply them accordingly. I figured that roughly half of the picture should get the main color. Then the shade and tint get roughly a quarter each. It is great to learn new things in art.

[@jihan8668]

OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH I WAS LOOKING LIKE THIS VID FOR AGES THANKS SO MUCH U DESERVE MORE SUBS!!!!!!!

[@mentalgears]

This is what I needed to get straight lines on my $60 Wacom (cheapest one I could find, since I'm not a pro artist.) I just wanted to try doing some anime. Works really well now. The other issue I had by default with krita was the brush tip. If you set it to auto-spacing, it will not digitize it at all. Thanks, because the main issue was solved by your tutorial and the other issue I had figured out by trial and error prior to going to KZbin. By default, tool options didn't even show on the right and I didn't really notice the tab for it. Thanks again. You helped me a lot!

[@Turglayfopa]

this is the single best krita tutorial i've seen

[@rhiplay410]

Thank you!! Been using krita lately and was struggling to figure it out, this video really helped!!

[@SovietGrizzly]

This was very helpful and informative. Deep down I hope you continue to keep making Krita tutorials. Subbed in hopes that you do.

[@szasstamblr2869]

I learned WAY more than I asked for, thanks

[@MillaGamerLinux]

Hi, This helped me a lot, please continue making this videos. It's amazing!

[@scarletaugi2591]

Finally got Krita to install today and couldn't find a stabilizer and I kinda panicked! Thanks for helping me find it!!

[@Therachel23.]

Thank you soooo much for the videeeeoooo! God, you are lifesaver hahaha

[@passiveobserver]

Okay, so I've had meltdowns over why I felt like my tablet wasn't working well with Krita. It was delay. Thank you. I may feel stupid, but I walk away with being able to do line art.

[@SoftBreadSoft]

Weighted smoothing is just a variable/customizable Basic smoothing, so I prefer it. If I need really long neat lines/curves, I'm using the ball and chain Stabilizer.

[@KagamineHanon]

Thank you!! I love Krita now, ahh

[@kristirf7951]

This is EXACTLY what I was looking for.

[@idiomasentusiasticos7954]

I can never get my lines perfect. Usually I have a mapping layer, where I map the body/neck/head/etc. Then,?I have a rough like art layer, THEN I have the final line art layer. I keep on getting close to *decent* lines, but I’m not there yet. I really hope this helps.

[@donuberry7654]

_Idiomas Entusiásticas_ it will help for it to look a bit more neat, however, with time and practice your lines should get more clean and neat

[@KasperBentsen]

My lines are utter garbage, I'm afraid that I'll never get decent lines. I can't even make the ends meet each other in circles and such..

[@Friezian]

Thanks for this, helpful and very quick to the point!

[@moudura2448]

I draw with a mouse, and stabilizer is pretty much the only thing stopping me from completely ruining drawings, it's extremely useful for me

for future reference, maybe zoom in on the areas you’re selecting tools or playing with settings because you have everything minimized and i literally can’t read what you’re selecting because it’s so small

Question: what version of Krita do you have? Asking because the one I am using is lacking a lot of the features you are using.

I'd be weeping in joy right now but my version of Krita must be different? Because my interface barely even looks like yours.

thankyouthankyouthankyouTHANKYOU

[@groeisterk]

Thank you. I have version 3.3.3. I dont get the assistant options. And to copy and paste in one layer please.

[@AstroGnomical]

It should have the assistant option in 3.3.3. I would recommend upgrading to 4.0 though, since it just released. I don't know of a way to copy and paste in one layer but you can just merge it down by right clicking the new layer and selecting the merge down option or pressing ctrl-e EDIT: I put ctrl j which duplicates layers instead of ctrl e.

Try using a different brush or a higher resolution. The gray edges could be antialiasing.

how can I make the resolution better? or pixels more per inch? my drawings look fuzzy and do not look good when printed out.
