Drawing timelapse with krita, commented

[@davidandrew3006]

Krita seems to be evolving at a rapid pace.

[@ArmisHart]

+David Andrew and next is animation whoo

[@cialpeachh4781]

they work off donations so go donate so we can get gud updates my excuse is im broke lmao

[@TheMiziko]

Thank god there are people like you, making this tutorial videos, and giving tips to the art community :) great and informative video!

[@DavidRevoy]

+Divine Kataroshie : And thank you for commenting very positive and encouraging comments! It really helps me to not be shy and push the 'record' button to screenrecord while I'm drawing and then make video-editing and voice over on the top.

[@arii414]

+David Revoy He is right. I found you because I use linux too and you responded me some questions. You encouraged me to start digital drawing and now I'm really happy with my new hobby :) thank you

[@DavidRevoy]

Arii : Your feedback made my day! A big big thank you, I have a big work-day ahead to color two full page of Pepper&Carrot, and reading your comment fillls me with energy :) have a good day!

[@MandiKandi]

I also agree! :D Thank you!

you were easy to understand. Thanks for taking the time to add comments to the video. It's very effective.

Found you a few days ago, now I'm binge-watching! ^^

[@PanupatChong]

Thank you! And please don't worry about your accent: after watching 2 or 3 of you vids I've already gotten very used to it.

The commentary was great Dave.. even tho you are unsure about some words everything is understandable. Thank you for making this video. I just downloaded Krita and this helps me to understand it. :)

Thank you ! 👍

[@PltO]

Really enjoyed this, very educational. As someone else said, I look forward to you streaming in the future - I think I would learn a lot from seeing the process in real time.

[@DavidRevoy]

+Jonathan Walsh : Thanks! About streaming video, yes, it is still planed. I'm curious ; when do you think it's the best range of hour(s) to stream for many timezone and what day? I would like to do a weekly group of 2 or 3h answer with mic to chat questions while working on Pepper&Carrot page. I think this way I can record and get work done at same time to be on schedule with the episode release.

[@PltO]

+David Revoy I'm in Korea so my answer is probably gonna be very different from the rest of your viewers :) For me, after about 10 pm Korean time would be ideal (that's like 2~3 PM in CET I think). But that sounds way too early for a european audience.

[@DavidRevoy]

+Jonathan Walsh :Thanks a lot for the info. I started a note txt file here and added your fav range, I'll keep asking around me, and I'll try to find the best hour range. I'll probably in the end just 'dance' from week to week in various time range to visit everyone timezone.

[@DudeBronkster]

Hey there! I just recently found your channel through the Krita website and I really like all the videos I have seen so far! Especially the commented ones are really helpful and the visual hints you edit in make them all the more easy to understand. Your art is great, too, I will definitely check out your webcomic! Somewhere on the comments you said you are worried people won't like your accent. Don't be afraid to turn on your microphone more often! Your English is clear and your voice is very pleasant to listen to. :-) I think with a somewhat more regular upload schedule and the current quality of content you'd gain a huge viewership in no time. Keep it up, best regards!

[@DavidRevoy]

+DudeBronkster : Many thanks for the feedback and the encouragement. Yes, I'm working a lot in background aside Pepper&Carrot to increase my video-production workflow, but it still a big task when I do one. My goal ; reaching the 'weekly video' without lost of quality on content, right now I release monthly only. Thanks again!

[@LeJalapenos]

I really liked the commentary, having the thought process explained really helps learning. Great work!

[@DavidRevoy]

+Linus Shoravi : Thank you for the feedback, it's really helping me in return to build confidence. I thought it wasn't possible to do an english video tutorial channel for a French like me :-) but my point of view is changing. Thanks to your comments.

[@lemoncake1811]

im still watching and i have to say you are my favorite artist hands down!! just amazing! and your voice is so easy to listen to! So many tutorials have such monotone voices and yours is so nice! lol.. your accent is very easy to understand too!

[@DavidRevoy]

+Lemon Cake : Your comment will really help me to gain confidence when I'll turn on microphone next time. Thank you ;)

[@creekkid42]

hope you keep making videos! your art style and seeing you draw it gives me inspiration to draw the way I wan't and get in the zone. You're line art is similar to how I'd like mine to look, but you're process is different than a lot of digital artists I see which is great because it fits more with how I naturaly draw as well! Also, I loooove your brush pack for krita. Seriously, it's perfect for my needs.

[@DavidRevoy]

Thank you creekkid42 for the feedback! You really encourage me to keep doing video with your comment!

[@Alam_Gutz]

I love your art, it has a manga feel to it but it's still unique, Pepper & Carrot is the reason im using Krtita.

Although I really liked your written commentary on the Chaos and Evolution DVD, I think the spoken commentary adds a lot and makes it easier to follow. Thanks a lot for your videos, they are always great!

[@DavidRevoy]

+DerPylz : Hey, thanks for remembering of Chaos&Evolutions. I'm amazed when I remember it was already in 2009... like ... 7 year ago? xD Slowly and slowly and thanks to the feedback comment on the video I'm building a little more and more confidence to speak and record. 7 years ago, it was totally a too difficult exercice, I was frozen like when having to record a voice-mail on phone . I try to get used to this way to create media. Thanks for following!

[@LizdeSouza]

i loved this video! Merci beaucoup!! You are an inspiration for me as a Krita artist and as a newborn Krita instructor in a Training in Portuguese I'm developing based on Petrovic's book. Thanksssss!!!

[@DavidRevoy]

+Liz de Souza Hi! oh more training material? Always a *very* good news. Good luck for writing your Training and recording. I think I saw this morning another comment from you about recording settings on Linux/Kubuntu. I'll try to catch it to answer it as well, but if I don't find it ; the answer is I use SimpleScreenRecorder and Kdenlive. I should probably write a blog post about my settings.

[@LizdeSouza]

***** Thanks David! I'm working on a training, yes! In Brazil there is too much software copyright violation by artists. I was one of them before knowing Ubuntu 9 years ago. Now I have enough knowledge to give a basic training. I have 8k+ followers at my FB page and there are many amateur artists that want to learn what I do. Many people are afraid of leaving Windows and PS, but this training is to help them change your minds and give a step forward. Much work to do, because I'm wife, and mother full time too, so.... my time is not thaaaaaaaat long fr work. But God willing I'll make it happen. Thanks for your support, I'll sure talk to you again! Merci!

[@DavidRevoy]

+Liz de Souza : All my encouragement for finding a way to manage your time on this training series. We keep in contact :-) Good luck !

[@Mospcorp]

Very nice tutorial. I liked the tips on the side about thickness of the lines. Thanks so much!

[@DavidRevoy]

+mospcorp : Thank you for the feedback!

[@Stephen-T-Clark]

Just watching the process alone without commentary is phenomenally inspiring and very informative to anyone who is willing to watch with a careful eye. If you have the ability, I would suggest slowing the video down to real time to explain those detailed processes you're are using. I seriously doubt that many watchers understand just how slowly and carefully you are building those lines. Great stuff. Thank you!

[@DavidRevoy]

+Stephen Clark : Thank you for the feedback. True, I should probably really spend the first part in real time, even pausing with overlay to show the logic I have in mind, and the gesture I do with the stylus to anticipate the stroke. You are right: I take a lot of time on the main structure, I draw much quicker after this. Because a solid sketch or volume is easy to 'sewing' on the top less important lines. When the base volume is setup, 80% of the challenge of the drawing is done. Thanks for suggesting the good idea. I'll try to focus on developing this first part in future commented timelapses.

[@Silent1fd]

Thank you! I love your art, comics, and your videos! You are an inspiration, also I understood everything and your mic volume is about perfect.

[@DavidRevoy]

+Silent1fd : Thank you for the feedback about my artworks, audio and voice-over comments!

[@hannahmartin710]

I love these character concepts... I would like to see you add color to small parts of this to help emphasize the personality of these characters and showcase their individuality. Perhaps just add color to the eyes, or a single piece of clothing... I think that would look really amazing and showcase your skills as an artist. Great job, and thanks for the video.

[@jjohnson9596]

[@DavidRevoy]

+Jack The Vulture : Hey Jack, thanks for passing on my channel :) Have fun drawing!

[@crimsun7186]

Excellent video. Even the small tips are very well explained and teach a lot. I was wondering how one deals with very sharp edges, where color will either bleed out if you paint it by hand or 'sip in' if you paint using G'MIC or fill tool.

[@DavidRevoy]

+Crimson Sunrise : Hey, I'm familiar with your nickname from the IRC channel of Krita, thanks for passing by on KZbin. Thin/Sharp lines are always a pain to colorize. Gmic[colorize] is the most accurate method on my test ( www.davidrevoy.com/article240/gmic-line-art-colorization ) , but also it produce a really aliased effect ( on another side, it's ideal to split the are in island ). It require a little blur/aliasing to look clean. The next level for clean thin line and coloring precision can be achieved only with vector tools.

[@monstern12]

Man, your videos are awesome, and your trace are gorgeous! thanks for the tips!

[@ekdbooks8660]

Realmente impresionante David. Felicidades

[@DavidRevoy]

+EKD Books : Merci :)

[@plrplusyoueducationchannel9891]

I have been enjoying your tutorial vids very much. Thank you, they have been very helpful. I find your instructions very clear and the accent is refreshing. So do not worry. I look forward to learning more from your other videos because I am brand new to digital and just learning Krita. I find that I get distracted by all the wonderful tools and brushes. Furthermore, I would like to create Brush sets that help me focus on the job I am doing. So a brush set for sketching, one for inking and another for painting and then maybe special effects. Do you have any videos about that? I looked briefly, but find nothing. So I thought why not ask.

[@compilationstudio3833]

Very cool time-lapse!

[@Chumichangaa]

I really like your art! Do you mind doing a tutorial on how you draw your faces and body? Please?

[@DavidRevoy]

Hey MichuV, I'm not mastering 100% ( or even 90% ) this area yet so I'm a bit shy to do something specific about it. As soon as I'm more confident with it , be sure I'll be happy to share the method/shortcut to replicate it with 100% of success.

[@robbieking4070]

How do you move their body parts around? And how do you change the opacity of the sketch layer to do the line art?

[@DavidRevoy]

You have an opacity slider just on the top of the "layer docker" ; To turn the sketch to blue, look at my other video about line-art (I explain the step better on it). To move the body parts, you need to first do a selection around the part you want to move, then press ctrl+T to transform ( enter when it is done to compute the result, and deselect , pick the brush again to draw)

[@robbieking4070]

One more question. What brushes did you sue for this drawing?

[@lemoncake1811]

thank you so much for this! i have a question regarding the brush docker icons... when i select a brush, the icon in the brush list doesnt highlight blue like i see in your videos.. so its as if i have not selected it ( even though i can use it and it works) how do i change a setting so it highlights?

[@DavidRevoy]

+Lemon Cake : Hey! Thanks! The blue highlight is here just because I use a different theme than the default one. You can change the theme in (menu) Settings > Themes > (I use 'Krita Blender', it has blue highlight).

[@lemoncake1811]

+David Revoy yes! i found that out last night when i realised your setup and screen was much lighter than mine was... i had downloaded your extra themes for krita and was on the Krita-darker theme so that did not have those highlighted icons. Now i changed to just the dark theme.. ( that blue highlight means a lot to me as you can tell hahahah) had a big conversation about it in the Krita page on facebook. You should drop by! everyone there is a big fan of you =D!

[@DavidRevoy]

+Lemon Cake : oh good! Yes, I also think a color for selection highlight is much easier ( and it blend well with my system highlight selection color ). I'll try to visit the krita page on facebook this week. Thank you for infos about it ;-)

[@jorijndg]

How did you rotate the whole thing 90 degrees?

[@pIatyperson]

[@AureliaKai]

Thanks! i mean this is 5 years late, but i hope it helps, because i always find my line art looking so... empty?? idk but it just looks pretty bad, so hopefully this helps :D

[@DavidRevoy]

Hey, I hope it will help! And no problem for being late or not, I'm always glad my old videos are still watched and helpful. Have a good time drawing and no pressure; here I'm still struggling with my line-art and I think I'll probably feel that until the end of my life. At one point, I think I accepted it was just hard; and my misconception about it was to think it would be easy if I trained enough. ^__^ But this thick&thin game, the satisfaction of getting just a little part "right" that ring well in a artwork is enough to make me want to start again.

[@funnycatsplaying]

Thank you so much ! The video helped me a lot ~ Please keep doing more of them ^~^

[@DavidRevoy]

+Sasha Melnikova : Thank you Sasha for the comment. It encourage me a lot to be less shy and press the 'record' button more often when I'll draw future artworks. :)

[@Antonio-ks4gx]

hi David i really like your vídeos, you got very good drawing skills I would like to see in your KZbin channel a livestrem of one of your works... thank you

[@DavidRevoy]

+Antonio Pinto : Hey Antonio, thank you for the suggestions and feedback. I met a technical problem in my livestream test. I'm not sure if it was LinuxMintCinnamon desktop environment, Krita openGL canvas, or the screenrecorder for livestream (OBS) but the mix of the three was not good ; a lot of flicker. Next version of Linux Mint and Krita is for April ; I hope it will be fixed. Thanks for following!

[@user-ze7hp2jf5x]

the stabilizer makes my brush delay and even lag I think, I cant really use this program with this stabilizer, even on 50 it lags

[@DavidRevoy]

+Lio Local Chibi Thief : The Stabilizer has too complex settings; and very bad default values in general. Be sure to : 1. Use a low 'Distance', on my other one tablet, I just needs something like 20, or 10 2. /!\ Uncheck 'Delay' 3. Activate Finish line 4. Active Stabilize Sensors 5. Depending the zoom size you are using ; check or uncheck the scalable Distances. With playing this way , you should find a setting that smooth your lines; the secret is to use the highest 'Distance' value while 'not feeling it at all' when you are drawing. It takes a little time. Good luck !

[@user-ze7hp2jf5x]

+David Revoy the stabilizer feature is still buggy, I did as you instructed but I need to zoom in and out otherwise the lineart seems somewhat like a block, it makes it hard to make curvy lines, but thx for the tip, I will try to get use to it

[@DavidRevoy]

I hope next versions of Krita will solve the buggy issue you meet. Good luck!

[@user-ze7hp2jf5x]

+David Revoy I managed to fix it somehow, turns out that the highest stabilizer my pc can run is about 25 to 30 without lagging, I compared it with my other program Sai that runs on 15 and the lineart is the same. also I wanted to ask you since I didnt really find any definitive answer about it, should the lineart be 100% solid or should it have blending like yours do. I will really appreciate some of your insight on the matter if possible.

[@DavidRevoy]

Lio Local Chibi Thief Hey, good to see it's going better. About the line-art, there is no rules. On my last episode of Pepper&Carrot, I tried a thin 8px width line max ( on a 300dpi A4 page, it's really thin ) with around 70% of transparency and 'multiply'. It was really , really hard to correctly paint 'inside' the zone, and for sure opaque line-art in black are way way easier. Large line width too. But I really wanted the thin line width style. So, no rules, it only depends the result you want.

[@loni6473]

Hi, I really like your Style and your Tutorials. I have a question when I get my wacom Cintiq 13 HD i wanted to start drawing with krita, but I get a Cursor Offset. so my question is : is there a solution for my Problem? sorry, for my English. i hope you understand my Problem and you will be able to help me :)

[@DavidRevoy]

+Loni : Hi! This problem probably depends of your graphic card, graphic card's driver, and operating system. Here on Linux Mint 17.3 with an intuos 3 tablet I can't reproduce your error. Probably this chapter on the FAQ can help you if you are on Windows: docs.krita.org/KritaFAQ#How_to_fix_a_tablet_offset_on_multiple_screen_setup_on_Windows , good luck !

I have recently started using Krita and the tools are too good for free. I'm enjoying this. But can anyone help me on how to record my process of art in Krita?

[@christianneubert5795]

Talented French artist, I don't know why but comic artists are quite common in France, do you know why that might be?

[@Simrasil_]

Hey David, your tutorials are really great and especially helpful for someone like me who is just beginning to draw with krita. Big ups for your work! Also I have a question: What is your setup in krita when your using reference images for your drawing?

[@DavidRevoy]

+SonKomischerTyp : Hey, thanks! I rarely work with references. I like to watch a lot of pictures and do documentation, but I don't need them sticky next to me while painting. This way, I learnt how to train more my memories of proportions, vocabulary of shapes , material, light , etc... ( but I still like to spend a lot of time watching and gathering documentation ) . When I need to ; (eg. doing a freelance work with the need to follow an art direction with many ref , a movie or video game with already works from other artist done ) I open a big Inkscape document, and I embed all the image inside the *.SVG vector file. This way , I do a wall of ref , I can zoom, resize , arrange, rotate, mirror and keep in a single file. I'll probably try to do a video about it later. Thanks for following the channel!

[@Simrasil_]

+David Revoy Thank you for the detailed answer! I will try to learn drawing more without direct reference, but as I'm just learning it's alot easier for me to have a guideline when drawing. I can see the benefit of memorizing shapes and proportions though.

Also, did you make a mask when you filled in the character with a tint, or did you just paint inside the lines? Thanks

+Uncle Snail : Hey, I just painted to fill the shapes on a layer under the lines. Sometime I'm launching Gmic[colorize] for doing it, but here the shapes were easy enough to just paint them.

[@CIROIS]

Excelent video!! just one question, how do you to rotate the canvas? it is just pretty util i think

[@DavidRevoy]

+Sub Ciro : Thank you! You can rotate canvas with two methods : - numpad4 and numpad6 to rotate every 15° in one direction or the other - Spacebar + Shift ( + mouse or stylus click ) to smoothly rotate with gesture the canvas ... in both cases ; the only way to reset to 'normal' ; the numpad5 key. Good luck!

Thank you so much!!

comment ajouter les Brushes stp ?

[@DavidRevoy]

+Ach Hadda : (menu) Settings > Manage resources > boutons 'Import Bundle/Resource' :-)

[@AchHadda]

+David Revoy merci, and if I deleted a default brush from where I get it back please ?

[@DavidRevoy]

This is a bit more complex: (menu) Settings > Manage resources > Open Resource Folder. The files kis_paintoppresets.blacklist should list all 'deleted' brush ( they are not deleted, just blacklisted ). You can edit or delete this files to untrash all. Krita regenerate this file.

[@AchHadda]

+David Revoy merci excellent 👍

[@achevalier1968]

Do you still use the stabilizer? What delay do you advise me for xp pen artist pro 16tp?

[@DavidRevoy]

Hi! Yes, I still use it (without the 'delay' option, with finish line and with stabilise sensor; sample count around 40 here). Hard to tell for your 16inch Artist Pro. I guess it has 1920x1080p or maybe higher pixel density... Imo, you should just try starting at 120, and then try to make quick circles, small circles; if you feel it too strong the circle will not look good, then you go -20 by -20 until you don't feel the stabilization being in your way. Then you test some curvy long hair type of S line. And adjusting this way, you'll find your ideal setting. Good luck.

I used MyPaint together with Alchemy, I think that is also what you did if I remember correctly. I've been reading some news about Krita but I've never tried it. I'm just a beginner when it comes to drawing (I liked to do it in my teens, many moons ago), but it's fun to use a Wacom. I think I saw that you use both MyPaint and Krita, what makes you switch? Are they for different kinds of drawings, or is it just to get some variation?

[@DavidRevoy]

Hey, thanks for the feedback! (and also for contributing to packaging ) . You are right , I started my digital painting workflow on FOSS with Alchemy+Mypaint+Gimp around 2009. They are really cool project, and at this time Krita wasn't able to draw on a 1000x1000 pixel canvas without horrible lag. But with time and a lot of work from many Krita developpers/kickstarter/big bug report campaign/many Google Summer of code/ well... almost 6 years of development ; Krita became better and better as a 'all in one' digital painting software, with many option for professionals (color management, export format, etc...) . I switched somewhere around 2012 to fulltime Krita. Krita is still a bit 'heavy-weight' and needs a solid computer to benefit fully about it; but exept this ; it's a fantastic tools. That's my core tool for www.peppercarrot.com/ . Without Krita, not sure I would ever start my own open project.

[@petas874]

Cool, thank you for the information! I'll definitely install Krita and try it out for art in my game development.

[@DavidRevoy]

petas874 if you want to keep library clean on a non KDE environment ; I advice you to use the appimage version : www.davidrevoy.com/article322/krita-appimage-for-cats , have fun painting!

@DavidRevoy thanks for share all the awesome videos, you are a great teacher and i'm learning a lot of you every month! Thanks a lot! What recording software are you using to do screen record?

[@DavidRevoy]

+Fredy Andrade Thank you a lot for the feedback ! I'm using for recording SimpleScreenRecorder via the stable Ubuntu PPA, on Linux Mint 17.3 ; and for the video editing : Kdenlive via the sunab PPA. :-)

[@alceroth]

Thank you so much for this David :), I have one question for you, what is the name of the Linux distro that you used in the video? :)

[@DavidRevoy]

+Carlos Suarez : Hey, I use Linux Mint 17.3 on the video ( I post on my blog often methods about installing tools, etc ; here: www.davidrevoy.com/categorie13/geek ) It's the Cinnamon D.E. with customisation of theme ( the theme is named 'gnome' ). I just put the panel on the top, with the clock centered as in the Gnome desktop design. The windows theme, Numix-frost or Numix-Arch-Blue ( a derivation of numix in blue ). The icons are the built-in 'Aqua' color. A setup really simple to reproduce, I have it on all my machine at home.

[@alceroth]

+David Revoy thank you :)

[@greymane6549]

Can you show how you Color?

[@DavidRevoy]

+The Icarus-AZ-Side : Sure, I'll do! I'm just a bit away from making videos during the beta-test of Krita 3.0. I hope it will be over soon. :)

[@greymane6549]

I'm Super Excited for the frame animation thing so Awesome

[@mxplr]

super vidéo, merci pour les commentaires :)

[@PltO]

By the way, are you using the stabilizer option both when sketching and when doing the line-art, or only for the latter?

[@DavidRevoy]

+Jonathan Walsh : I was used in the past to switch often between: - No stabilizer ( Basic Smoothing) : when sketching / painting - Stabilizer : for line-art. Nowaday, I prefer to use a low stabilizer almost for all. To find a good setting when I change hardware ( tablet size/ screen size, etc ) , I often start with a big Stabilizer value ( around 150 or even 200) then I try to draw small square on canvas ; if it fails I reduce progressively 10 by 10 the slider, when I have a value that is not 'on my way' and I can draw with it ; it's the right one. That's my way to find a good stabilizer for almost all possible task I'm doing with Krita.

[@PltO]

+David Revoy Oh that's a cool tip, thanks!

[@jonnysison3403]

how you record your drawing?

[@DavidRevoy]

I'm using or SimpleScreenRecorder , or OBS studio on Linux.

[@Makuronai]

Did you think about streaming your working process online?

[@DavidRevoy]

+Isida : Yes! I made some test, but the Krita openGL canvas, or my Linux or the livestream app ( OBS ) made a weird result : filckering a lot. I need to find a way to fix it before trying to do a stream. But I'll do :)

[@LizdeSouza]

+David Revoy please let me know how you got to stream online your work with Linux. I've tried several times with Castawesome and Picarto but the streamer bugs all the time. If you get a good result for streaming, I'll try myself too. I'm a Kubuntu user.

[@DavidRevoy]

+Liz de Souza : Hey, about streaming I tested this one: the documentation show how to set it for KZbin or other platforms: obsproject.com/ good luck! ( note: it has issue with compositing of Krita, I saw that a non-composited desktop and turning of openGL canvas fix it sometime, still work in progress )

[@LizdeSouza]

***** thanks David I'll check it out!

[@Dan_sid4]

whats the program you youse to record

[@DavidRevoy]

+StarStikeDW Hi, SimpleScreenRecorder via the stable Ubuntu PPA, on Linux Mint 17.3 ; and for the video editing : Kdenlive via the sunab PPA. :-) it works really well.

[@Dan_sid4]

+David Revoy hi there i dont no if you can help me with this one but here goes. I was the other day painting whith Krita and i noticed that every single "pen tool" was making the same texture plus since then my pressure sensitivaty hasent been working either so yea ..............if you can help me pls resonde i tride uninstaling an instaling it again but it still does not work help pls I WANA DRAW

[@DavidRevoy]

+StarStikeDW : I don't know, here on Linux I don't have this problem, probably the issue is with your graphic card or your system/tablet. Have a look at the FAQ ; docs.krita.org/KritaFAQ a lot of tips are around this page to solve many issue depending your hardware.

[@razerarif6454]

so helpful ;) , please add more tutorial :3 . i love krita becuz it's free xD . #cheers

[@AchHadda]

c'est cool man bravo ! :D tu as apprit tout seul ou tu as fais des cours d'art ?

[@DavidRevoy]

+Ach Hadda : Merci :) J'ai fait deux trois bricoles, quelques cours/stages dans ma jeunesse ; mais c'est principalement seul que j'ai appris.

[@AchHadda]

c'est formidable ton niveau j'ai un problem avec mettre le character en volume :/ des tutto ? tu me conseille de les voire ?

[@DavidRevoy]

Le meilleur livre d'apprentissage du dessin , en anglais, un peu vieux, mais la méthode est toujours d'actualité pour les volumes: www.alexhays.com/loomis/Andrew%20Loomis%20-%20Successful%20Drawing.pdf

[@AchHadda]

Ahha ok merci beaucoup, une autre question stp... J'ai envie de commencer à partager mes comics mais j'ai envie aussi que personne vaule l'histoire ou l'idée.... Es ce que tu sais comment puis-je faire ? Merci beaucoup et désolé pour le dérangement

[@DavidRevoy]

Pour protéger le vol d'idées, aucune idée. Je suppose que le fait de poster le dessin/les pages sur un site public horodaté ( genre , sur deviant Art ) assure déjà la preuve en cas de litige d'une date de la paternité de l'idée.

[@Abc-qs8ir]

hi David what tablet do you use to draw on? a surface pro, Wacom, or, intuous?

[@DavidRevoy]

Hey @Abc 123; For this video , it was on a Wacom Intuos3 Large.

[@Abc-qs8ir]

Gosh you must have excellent hand eye coordination, Have you ever tried drawing on a Surface Pro 3 or 4, or a Wacom Cintiq or a Ugee tablet (Ugee tablet can be gotten up to 22" and are about 300 to 600usd :)

[@Abc-qs8ir]

Surface Pro 3 are just 300usd second hand :)

[@DavidRevoy]

Yes, I had Cintiq 12wx ( sold back, I didn't like the dark screen ) , the Cintiq21UX ( used as a second monitor 99% of time, because too heavy and to big on desk ) , the Cintiq 22HD ( sold back because too big and pixels+parralax too big )... Only recently I ran test on the Cintiq13HD ( since first January, still early test ) but I really like it. Mainly because on Linux I managed to script something to also use it as a normal tablet mapped on my screen. But yes, I have more than 15 year of painting daily on normal table, so my coordination is OK. The problems in non-wacom is you'll run in software issue, non maintained or non existant drivers, update breaking them...etc... I heard Huion on Windows are doing great compare to other brand. Ugee, not a lot. If you purchase a surfacePro type of hardware, you'll probably run a hardware with low performance. Krita needs 2,5Ghzx2 core+4GB of Ram and a Graphic Card to start drawing. Low performance will limit you to draw with lags, and small resolution not for print , without a lot of layers. That's something to consider.

[@Abc-qs8ir]

Thanks a million for the response David, You really have a unique style for line art and colour depth :) You should do graphic novels :)! If I was looking at purchasing either a Wacom 13" HD touchscreen cintiq or a Surface Pro 3, Which would be best for professional art? :) How do you find the 1/2 cm gap between the Wacom Cintiq glass and screen? And that Wacom find it difficult to register the Pen near the edges of the cintiq screen? Is it still more workable that a Surface Pro 3? :)

[@bay5050]

What device do you use??

[@DavidRevoy]

+Baylee Weeks : A Wacom Intuos 3 A4 , you can see it at 1:56 , I use it with a 1080p 21inch Philips monitor ( I prefer smaller monitor with higher density , to get the movement on the tablet the most near to 1:1 the movement on the screen. )
