FREE 2D Animation Software / How to Animate in Krita!

[@typingcat]

Hmm... Creating an animation. Let me check what I have. ✔️ Computer ✔️ Krita ❌ Talent

[@kdsketch]

hmm...what else... ✔️ determined ✔️ Imaginative You can do this!

[@BluntStop]

Talent is overrated and snobby. Raw stubburnes is all you need.

[@dogbone3388]

Dont worry there's no such thing as talent in art it's just skill working hard and never giving

[@dogbone3388]

Up

[@autumn156]

my dear friend honestly some people were just born lucky and me and you aren’t one of them BUT talent has nothing to do with whether you are good at drawing or not and I am proof of that because I am only twelve years old and I’m already trying to animate for fun ya know so usually what I did was not draw something original but copy a drawing from someone else as practice and then one from my mind, you have to do this atleast once a day but the more you do it the better you art becomes :) so if you do this I wish you the best!!! oh btw I doodled a lot of things and the things I doodled were hard things for me like eye brows and hands and stuff so obviously I got better and I’m not AMAZING at drawing but I guess my art is kinda nice? edit: OH GOD I DONT REMEMBER COMMENTING SOMEHTING THIS CMRINGY

[@Keyvulture]

I really like krita but my first animation attempt using it was horrible but this helped a lot☺☺

[@kdsketch]

Glad it helped! :D Honestly my first attempt in Krita was awful haha, it only got better because I stuck with it :')

[@nymthetyrant]

Does anyone know why the timeline won’t show up? I think there is something wrong with the screen, I do all of the steps but the timeline just isn’t there and it looks like the bottom half of my screen has been cut off. I’m so sad rn. I was hoping to be able to animate on krita but i don’t think that’ll work. My luck is horrible

[@carlitae7600]

@@nymthetyrant I think it's because your screen might be a little bit short for the original organisation of krita but don't worry I've got the same problem, here is what I've done : exit full screen mode, on top right of your krita window, like if you wanted to reduce the window, then put it in full screen mode again, it should've show the timeline on the bottom, if the place is still too small, try to rearrange your dockers, for example if you've got layers, onion skins, colors picker etc as dockers, try to put them on the left or right part of your screen, it should release some space for your timeline on the bottom ! Hope it helps you !

You are such an angel!❤️ I'm sick and bored, and I wanted to draw, but I got art block. So I thought, I want to try animating! On my tablet I have krita, so I searched for " how to animate on krita " and watched your video. I understood almost everything at the first listen, but I played it few times for sureness . It took me half of hour just to set up animation docks and another to understand the frames. Then I struggled next 3 hours with drawing ( it turned out to be 10 second video) and another hour to save it and send it to someone. I can't imagine how hard would it be whiteout this perfect simple to understand video of yours, so thank you very very very much ❤️❤️❤️❤️

oh my gosh you've just made my day!! I'm so glad the tutorial was helpful and easy to understand, it honestly means so much to hear that my videos were useful :) When I first started in Krita it took me forever to do anything because most of the tutorials were for the old versions and they'd updated quite a bit of the animation features since then! 10 seconds is AMAZING to do in a new programme, you'll get quicker and quicker with practice :D I hope you feel better soon and keep making more animations! Thank you for this lovely comment!!!

[@finnthefannibal]

Hi, thanks a lot. Got started with Krita after this video. Just a tip, something I got stuck with is you have to make a new transparent layer and turn on the light bulb next to the layer to activate onion skin. And make sure there is no white. Also you can add what animation software you normally use in the description or as a subtitle in your videos so you're not spending a lot of time answering the same question. Otherwise keep it up! Loving the videos.

[@kdsketch]

🤦‍♀️ I KNEW there was something i missed, I’m so sorry!!! Thanks for pointing it out, I’ll try and get an updated one out soon or put in an annotation 😅 I’ll definitely put my usual software in the description too! Thanks! 🙏

Miss, your tutorial just helped me to achieve a lifelong goal i've wanted to attempt since i was very very young, and i always thought i would need special equipment and software and a lot of money to even attempt it, and even then, i always told myself that my ADHD would hold me back and keep me from finishing anything. at 17:27 EST when im writing this, i've just successfully finished my first test animation. Its very simple, a ball appears mid air, some lighting-shimmer on its surface, and then it falls into the hand of a non-descript dummy. 52 frames. not much, but its a working GIF now thanks to your tutorials. I'm crying with joy right now because i never thought i would be able to achieve this goal and yet here i am. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

[@kdsketch]

@@emmyuwu5403 No problem, glad it's working now! For the onion skin there's a couple of things you need to do. 1. when you open up a file you need to make a new layer and animate on that. the default layer krita opens with will be 'filled in' so the onion skin won't work with that. 2. when you start animating on the new layer you need to make a new blank keyframe every time you want to draw something new (right click on the timeline - select 'create blank frame') otherwise it'll just edit the drawing you have. 3. have the lightbulb activated 4. in the animation panel there'll be a icon that looks like an onion, click it, and then select the '1' either side of the '0' to show the next and previous frames. you can select more and adjust the opacity levels of each. Hope this helps!

That's ok - for baseline did you click on the menu and click baseline (even if it's selected) Krita is WEIRD and I had the same problem.

[@hansbrackhaus8017]

I'm not a pro animator, but here is a tip that is absolutely true: Only use the onion skin when the change is very minimal and you need to find inbetweens between close differences. When the distance of changes is larger, it's better to pick 'dots' on the drawing, and then "roll" or "flip" the frames moving the dot of the line where it would be in the inbetween. Repeat that process with a few dots until you have enough information to work from there. This usually makes the animation more voluminous and less stiff because it focuses on the motion. I don't know if Krita actually has an easy way to roll, but even if you scrub the timeline manually, this dot approach is legit.

[@kdsketch]

You can set up shortcuts in Krita so it's easier to flip between the frames, I do this a lot in other programmes and in the rough stage helps make the movement more belivable :)

Glad I could help! I've actually updated my entire krita tutorial video here kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4PJqqN6gbRooKc including updated export instructions! Good luck with your animations :D

[@donniekidanimations6889]

@@kdsketch Thank you very much for making these videos, I’m sure they are helpful to not only me, but to everyone at your channel!

[@hawktalon7785]

So straightforward and helpful! It was so cool of you to include some fixes for known problems like exporting without the baseline setting. I'm moving from CSP cause the animation workflow is so much different than Adobe Animate which is what I was taught in, but this seems much closer and simpler. I'm so satisfied with Krita. OSS forever!!!

[@kdsketch]

Glad you enjoyed the video and found it helpful! There’s a more recent tutorial linked in the description but I’m planning on another updated tutorial for this again since they’ve included some new features in the update

[@Hazyla]

Let’s see what I have Determination. Yes! Imagination! Check. A decent amount of skill. I like to believe so. A computer. Ye- wait um. No. Uh. I DO NOT WANT TO GO BACK TO FLIPACLIP! -guess I just have to export each frame and shove it into some editing program (sigh)- This is basically the opposite of another comment :p

[@kdsketch]

Rough Animator is a really good animation app, it's £5 and (in my opinion) much better than flipaclip for hand drawn stuff. If you are looking for an editing software DaVinci Resolve has a free version which is meant to be really good, not sure if it's just desktop though. Good luck with your animations!

Its 2022 and this is really2 useful information for me since ive only started to go into digitals and will be purchasing my first drawing tab soon.. Since krita is free ive been trying to learn it and its kinda hard for me as a beginner. But this is so nice thank youu!! I like how its so informative just what i think every beginner need. Now i will study this video

[@ebik6303]

This is like my 2nd animation but I’m determined to try Krita!!!

[@jawbreakergito7154]

Help? The scaling of my Krita app is zoomed, and I can't see other options. Is my pc too small to show the whole application or wut?

[@kdsketch]

It shouldn't matter what size your PC is but you might be able to resize the panels by clicking and dragging the edges?

[@mm-jt2eh]

I'm struggling with drwing tablets. I know practice makes perfect but do you have any tips

[@kdsketch]

I know how you feel, my first tablet was a real struggle, but it did get better. Other than just keep practicing I'd suggest taking breaks to draw traditionally (helps remind you that you're actually good at drawing so you can get back to drawing on the tablet refreshed!). Doing studies and using references is a good way too - quick timed drawings help get your wrist used to using the tablet too and build up muscle memory :) Even if it's just 10/15 minutes a day doing sketches and warm ups before you get to the actual stuff you want to draw helps get the bad drawings out (I need to do this more haha). Hope this helps!!

[@mm-jt2eh]

@@kdsketch thanks! Ill keep at it

[@Matobit]

i had this problem too at the beginning. but the more i focused on drawing simple shapes the better the strokes started to come out. if you get well acquainted with the software it helps to tweak the settings best for you :)

[@BUTTER-oc5gs]

Don’t know if this is a dumb question but, when you animate do you use a mouse or do you use an external digital drawing pad?

[@kdsketch]

No it's not a dumb question! I use a drawing tablet, specifically a Wacom Cintiq 13HD but before that I used a Wacom Bamboo one/fun for 3/4 years which was like £35. Hope this helps!

[@BUTTER-oc5gs]

kdsketch thanks I appreciate the help😁

[@luddep1vods943]

[@beachballssideaccount]

Drawing tablets are great! I've been using my standard Wacom Intuos since I was 9 and I hold it dear to me.

[@cringey4510]

I need help! So, when Im animating, then press play on my animation it skips so much and its too quick and it looks like pages flipping threw because a white thing comes up making it on each layer so it looks like pages flipping, so I slow my time down but now it looks like a slide show instead of an animation with the same page looking problem.

[@kdsketch]

Sometimes I try turning the drop frame off which helps if it's lagging and the playhead is going past the frames before they play and my frame rate is usually set to 25fps. Hope this helps :)

[@ahmedeid7953]

Another question when i draw a ball moving and switch to the a new frame the old ball shows

[@kdsketch]

No problem! You'll need to create a new blank keyframe every time you want to draw something different otherwise it will just adjust the last one you made. To make a new keyframe you need to right click on the timeline and hit 'create blank frame'. or there's a button in the animation toolbar - it's the first icon beneath the playback buttons on the left. Hovering over them will tell you what each of them does :) Hope this helps!

Thank you thank you thank you💓💓

It’s called onion skin. It helps with advanced animation, and it helps make it better. But oh well.

I wanna get better at drawing and start animating so i need a tablet but i do have krita and 2 other animation software.

[@kdsketch]

I used a cheap/small wacom bamboo one/fun for my first tablet, I think they've stopped making it now but it helped me practice and get used to drawing digitally - you don't need the biggest/most expensive tablet right away :)

[@ZomoryDesigns]

@@kdsketch i know i was planning to start small also out off all the free animation software which do you think is the best.

[@kdsketch]

I've only tried a few so far like Sketchbook and Krita, but I'm planning to take a look at Opentoonz to see which I like more - I'll make another video on it eventually 😂 between sketchbook and krita I'd say Krita is the better option, simply because you can have more layers, but if you want a stable programme with less bugs and is easier to use then check out Sketchbook - since both are free there's no reason why you couldn't use both to see which one you prefer :)

can i ask you what your main animation software is?

[@kdsketch]

It's TVPaint 11 Pro -- it's expensive but I bought it on student discount when I was at uni which made it a bit more manageable :)

[@micmacha]

ffmpeg is actually pretty cool in its own right; it's a standard encoder, decoder, and effects library for video editors, which can be used from the terminal! There are a lot of cool hacks. Many video GUI programs, and a lot of different export systems, rely on it for encoding.
