this is no joke one of the most helpful tutorials i’ve ever seen. thank you so much for explaining everything you did!! i’ve watched a ton of tutorials where people just kinda did stuff without explaining it and your video taught me how to do all of it thank you so much

[@AstroGnomical]

Thanks! I am probably going to remake this tutorial sometime soon with krita 4 and actually script it so it goes a bit smoother.

[@nicholewilkinson576]

Oh my gosh, do you know how frustrated I was getting because of the little pixel gap with fill? You are literally the only person who was like, here's the solution. Thank you sooooo much.

[@Grimsikk]

Which part of the video does he mention that? I can't find it. I am having this same issue myself, and Grow selection just overlaps my line art, ruining it. I don't understand how to just fill in the line art fully like in MS Paint lol

Hint for coloring quicker: use Filters -> GMIC filters -> Black&White -> Colorize (interactive). Works like charm, closes all gaps (yeah, even the neck here; it works differently than a bucket tool), of course it does need a little refinement after coloring (change color a little or check if every little details is painted as you wanted) but it still can save a lot of time. It probably doesn't matter with such a simple lineart, but it can matter with a more detailed one.

[@AstroGnomical]

Tymon Dąbrowski I am aware of this and might make a seperate video but in my experience it's not a whole lot faster than the bucket method if your art is well sealed. Works great for more intricate lineart though. Also last time I used it, it was an older version that lacked a lot of features it has now.

[@thedovahkiin666]

By the Nin this is literally the best Krita tutorial ever. You actually explained it and didn't do some crazy intricate art project to do it. Thank you so much!!

more than 60 thousand people enjoyed that sound. Actually he did it several times. So if you summarize that time to, let's say, 10 seconds from the whole video and multiply it by amount of views we can calculate what time this guy wasted from all viewers life. I did it for you, because i don't want waste your time. It's more than 166 hours of slurping

[@CailleachOiche]

@@cholushkin nerd. And you have earned my respect for that

[@lama9219]

Wow... this explained so much! Answered many of my questions. I have one tip for you though: in order to change the colour of your ink lines, you can simply lock the layer of the ink, and anything you do will only affect the lines you already have. No need to make a group and use alpha. Thanks a lot!

[@AstroGnomical]

Thanks! Your suggestion also works but I prefer having a separate layer so I can hide the line color if I need to.

[@lama9219]

Astrognome Ah I see, so it's like a whole new outline!

[@mochidragon5965]

I just wanted to say thanks, its a longer tutorial but explained a lot of seemingly simple stuff a beginner like me had no idea about and it really helped me finish my first ever digital piece!

[@CrankinIt43]

The useful part for me started at 13:15 but I appreciate the holistic style of tutorial.

[@johnangelotenorio]

What I do with shadows is that I set the shadows layer to 15-30% opacity then paint the desired areas with black. Thanks for that alpha tip for less color bleeding outside of object. I manually paint areas with brushes than using fill but that's a personal preference. Other than that, that's pretty much how I draw in Krita. Just have to do better with my hand drawing on tablets.

[@scmtkings4]

Thanks, this was super helpful. You explained things that alot of other channels just rush through

[@lisa-xd9sb]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I had no idea how to use krita before I watched this video 😬

[@nathanberglas9722]

If you get white lines around where you used your bucket tool, what you can do is use the magic wand on the same selection, then grow your selection by a pixel or 2, and then use a size 10000000px brush to colour the entire selection instantly. It does the same as a bucket tool but it doesn't have the white outline from anti aliasing of the line art.

[@nickrogers3624]

I know I am a bit late but I found that if you want to be really lazy, you can just use the curve tool to get really nice lines. Used the curve tool for one of my first few drawings and it made a drastic improvement to how it looks even with stabilization. However obviously there are points where its not as beneficial but when you have really long curving lines, it is very helpful.

[@captainkavi]

[@haleydale8]

This has been a great tutorial for me. I am very new to the program and digital art. Your explanations helped me to understand layers which I greatly needed. Throughout your art, it is always very smooth. When I zoom, I have so many pixels . I am assuming this is a setting but I am not sure which setting would correct it. I will continue researching but I am hoping that you have an answer for me to try. Thanks !

[@AstroGnomical]

Thanks! When you create your document, try setting it to a higher resolution. That will make it so you can zoom in more without it becoming pixelated. One thing I like to do is do my sketches on a small resolution and then scle the document up for the lineart.

[@haleydale8]

Great! I'm excited to test that out. Thanks so much!!!

[@hm7812]

I'm doing the filling in the gaps in the lineart and then using the paint bucket option to fill in the whole section with colour, and I have the exact same settings for "feathering" and "grow" (both set at 0), but when I fill it, it fills the entire thing? I have also only for this layer. All the coloring (plus filling in the lineart) I did on the same layer. What should I be doing to get it to only color that section?

[@lvl80elitehumanpally]

This is very useful for me because all my art so far has been analog like oil paintings and drawings and such. Turns out its very hard to actually sell analog art these days, so I'm trying to become proficient at digital art as it is far more marketable and it is easy enough to do to where I can charge much smaller amounts for commissions and stuff. Previously I had been turned off from digital art as there were so many options and buttons that it was very overwhelming to know what I wanted to do and not know which button would allow me to do it. Your video is pretty great and informative my only critique is you speak kind of slowly so I watched the video on 1.25 speed I don't know if you write a script or have notes prepared it seems like you are just going off the cuff and editing it later which is fine but if you prepared more you might be able to make more concise videos.

[@Sophia-ms6ti]

[@MrJonathansb]

Hi, Im new to Krita on new Wacom. Please do more tutorials. :) You have a pleasant voice and tempo. Can you do a slower explanation of the grouping and alpha layer funtionalities?

[@Grimsikk]

I really need help with something: No matter what settings I use on the Fill Tool, from Threshold to Grow Selection, it doesn't fill my line art in all the way! It leaves a white gap by my lines, between the color and the lines. If I set Grow selection to 1 or 2, then it overlaps my line art, ruining it. My line art has these like faded/translucent pixels along the sides of it that the Fill Tool doesn't seem to want to agree with. I also tried using the magic wand tool to try selecting the line art to then fill it in on my Colors layer and it's the same result. I can use the Colorize Mask tool to bypass this, but I shouldn't have to. What do I do to be able to fill in my line art fully like you did?

[@AstroGnomical]

Make sure you use a fully opaque brush and use the fill on a layer below your lines. another strategy is to paint the edges of your fill manually and then fill the inside

[@psychicplebalien]

I thought I was tripping when I saw that you are able to color on a NEW layer, even if it's not part of the sketch layer, they act independently, but still keeping the dimensions of the lineart into account. Is that just a Krita-specific thing?

how do you make the opacity of the shade like that without reducing the opacity of the layer or brush

[@phantomartdesigns]

how did you get your line art to be so straight? like the lines aren't curved but are straight

[@KimCyunHi]

Google Lazy Nezumi.

[@tymondabrowski9922]

Why Lazy Nezumi? Krita has its own stabilizers and its own rulers and stuff, Lazy Nezumi is in most cases unnecessary. 1) Tool Options -> change from "No smoothing" to "Stabilizer" or other kind of Smoothing 2) Dynamic Brush (change tool from Brush Tool to Dynamic Brush Tool w Tools docker, it's the docker with lines and shapes and crop tool and other tools)
