How To REALLY Use Brushes in Krita: The Solids-to-Shapes Method

[@RexelBartolome]

If you're interested in learning more about painting and brushes in general, I've made a playlist that features all of my tutorials on the topic! kzbin.info/aero/PLHa4G0mT9LH1h3ojYR_JbwlVA8TR-Hqxa

[@adeptusjoker7176]

Erasing with textures brushes is such a great method. I never thought of that.

[@JerryLecor]

Bro this video is a hidden gem, im in the process of making my first professional portfolio and you have no idea how much this analysis cleared things up for me

[@RexelBartolome]

youre welcome!

[@roy_inspire]

I never thought to use textured brushes as an eraser, great tips!

[@markmaher1225]

GOOOOOD DAAAHM i just subbed because you explained your perspective really well and made the illustration easy to read especially with that "pop quiz"

[@RexelBartolome]

Hey thanks 😊I actually wondered if the pop quiz section helped at all but I'm glad to hear it did!

[@markmaher1225]

@@RexelBartolome Definitely do it more often! i never saw it before and i know a lot of artists on youtube

[@RexelBartolome]

@@markmaher1225 Great! Thanks for the feedback 😄

[@qwertqwert-bz9fo]

Out of millions of tutorials this one is my top! Really sets the foundation of digital painting! Please continue!

[@postmax81]

One thing I also see artists do a lot is work with the lasso to quickly create shapes, then paint inside them with textured brushes.

[@dizzydizzee]

this is such a great new concept to add to my art skill set! you've explained it really well and it's a rlly new and simple way of understanding how these pro artists get such great texture while also maintaining clear forms in their work - can't wait to put this into practice later :) just subscribed!

[@RexelBartolome]

thanks for the kind words !

[@KikiAelita]

Thank you for this video! I'm looking around for tutorials on how to understand brushes and this is right in the range of what I want. Something more informational than "try out the effects for yourself!" but more about understanding extant brushes than "nitty gritty explanation of how to create a brand new brush".

[@princessthyemis]

i'm a super noob to Krita and this IS GENIUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ngoudaprinceba9813]

good job ! I hope you will make a video about mixer brush and blending with krita !

[@mikelezhnin8601]

lovely video! I'd love to see you cover certain textured brushes and showcase what those would be useful for (in particular I was thinking about wojtry brushpack)

[@RexelBartolome]

wojtry's brushpack is wonderful! I use it all the time. Though I just don't have enough time to record, edit, and publish videos at the moment 😭

[@skrif.painting]

awesome video!! juts discovered your channel and its so good! vey great insights, i also use krita for all my paintings

[@Fineartguy]

Time to share this with everyone considering Clip Studio Paint or running from it given their recent bs.

[@RexelBartolome]

😆😆 well this could be applied to any software not just Krita, but I am happy that Krita is getting a lot of recognition from CSP's recent announcement

[@NikolaNevenov86]

In a way I can understand CSP, If you want development you would want a subscription type service. Programmers need to be paid to do stuff. The same is with Krita.... Krita isn't free...it's Free to use, but there is a core of dedicated supporters that are paying what amounts to a subscription fee so that Krita is being further developed.

[@muzakki839]

This kind of fundamental that i need 👍

[@joespadaford8736]

Great breakdown

[@guysome3263]

Very eye-opening, thank you.

[@dustwavethemusic]

Would love to try out some of your brush collection, regardless of whether you created them all or not, if you have found them useful. Love your video man, new subscriber here!

[@RexelBartolome]

I'll keep it in mind!

Great video just subbed 💯✌🏼❤️ best wishes to you

[@erlukislukis]

Krita user here! 🙋🏽‍♀️

[@wavypeso]

I always paint everything with one or 2 brushes and do my details by hand I don’t like how some people use the shape brushes too much it makes the painting less genuine to me

[@RexelBartolome]

Yea I can see where you're coming from, use too many shape brushes and it will definitely feel more 'digital' looking and some prefer the traditional look of everything having a hand-painted feel.

[@teachies902]

thank you. i learned a lot from this video.i subscribe and like

[@NekoNyeil]

awesome vid man :D

[@RexelBartolome]

Thanks! glad you like it 😊

[@privileguan9127]

Very informative

[@rafaelbruno2128]

people are too attached to brushes but the real secret here is the color picking. It really doesn't matter the brush you use.

[@RexelBartolome]

yes, it's a pretty common trap to fall into. Novices see the textures and want to emulate it in their own work without knowing values and colors are the ones that makes or breaks a painting, not texture.

[@robertdepew4622]

Are these brushes included in Krita? Very good information

[@RexelBartolome]

Some of the examples I used are default brushes, some are not. Either way, the concept can be applied whether or not they're included in Krita

[@Curlyxtail]

This video was very helpful!

[@kavik5467]

Can you share where are those brushes of yours, they look amazing

[@RexelBartolome]

Ahhh most of them are just slightly altered brushes from other packs as well as the default packs! I do recommend checking out these places to get other brushes :) krita-artists.org/c/resources/brushes-and-bundles/32 docs.krita.org/en/resources_page.html

[@naveliluka]

Thanks for this , very much , like very much good , very nice boy , nicely boy done , good nice xd

[@qwertqwert-bz9fo]

Who’s painting you used as an example? I didn’t catch the name.

[@RexelBartolome]

The artist is John Park. But maybe look up other artists instead like Lixin Yin or Craig Mullins. I've found out after making this video that John Park has a bunch of controversies regarding manipulating and dating students while teaching at Brainstorm School.

[@Motuochez]

Whose piece of art is it in the video? I know you say the name but I don't know how to spell it.

[@cathychats]

I can’t even find the brush presets panel..so frustrating

[@RexelBartolome]

Sorry to hear that, I discussed showing the brush presets docker in another video kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXqakGd8e9B1l7M

[@returnns7203]

Has the author of these paintings Instagram?

[@RexelBartolome]

Just FYI his name is John Park and afaik yes he does have an Instagram account. Though I'd recommend other people instead as I've learned John Park has a history of dating students in Brainstorm School where he teaches, he also has lots of strong ties with NFT's. Go follow Lixin Yin or Craig Mullins instead :)

[@sionilopez]

Really well explained! I share it with my student so they feel more confident working with krita 🤍
