FireAlpaca Basics

[@markakaylar3310]

steps to switch to digital art: 1. get some free drawing software 2. attempt to draw with out a tablet 3. cry

[@um8986]

Before I got my tablet I used to draw with a pen like the ones you use on an ipad and the trackpad of my laptop, i'm actually surprised I could make something decent tbh

[@otaku-chan4888]

Take the leap and buy a drawing tab. If you really like art, you won't regret it :)

[@cow2754]

oml its kind of hard to get used to drawing with a tablet

[@kendallsilver2607]

From personal experience, if you have a phone, a drawing app, a pen, aluminum foil, and half a q-tip, you can do it. lol

[@red2121]

lol that's what i'm doing right now, i'm at the crying stage

[@monkeychief1904]

I spent a good ten minutes trying to draw on the grey screen that you start on 😅

[@bunnunyy4665]

freaking same, i tried that when i first got firealpaca i was like " wtf why cant i *DRAWWWWWW*

[@robertnichols7512]

i done the same thing but i deleted firealpaca and re-downloaded it

[@alil3231]

@@brianavelasco9563 It may seem like that. Just increase your brush size

[@ryuuseini]

Digital art always used to be frustrating to me... never realized how anything worked, lol. Now I feel like an idiot for not realizing how the things worked. Heck all I really had to do was switch my line correction from zero to thirteen and honestly everything worked a hell of a lot easier. Now I can do all those digital pieces I've always wanted to do.

[@LeslieLuMarie]

yeah to get the best results in digital art you need to dedicate some time to messing with the options and controls and whatnot cuz youll never know what you find! some things you discover makes things way easier o3o

[@pureangelsweet]

how do i edit the line correction in SAI or firealpaca? i haven't watched the video

[@ToastyBrain]

+Pupperrr “Dia” AJ With SAI there's a drop down box at the top called Stabilizer, I reccoment S-5 or S-6.

[@sirius_k_h_arts1713]

Firealpaca is a great art program in my opinion. its wonderful that you took some time to make tutorials for it. i never had them when i started using it, I had to learn on my own. So this is really nice of you.

[@msk-qp6fn]

What an informative video! I have a much better grasp on digital art now. Thanks a ton!

[@florrrina]

Jesus Christ...I love your voice so much! You sound adorable, and your voice is just really, REALLY nice! :O I have a whole lot to say tbh lololol so: 1. YOU ARE LITERALLY THE MOST HELPFUL DIGITAL ART CHANNEL I'VE SEEN. I'm not even kidding. Every time I look up a tutorial for something, your videos pop up. Thank you so much. It honestly means a lot. 2. FireAlpaca is AMAZING! I'm not even kidding. I used to use Photoshop and I literally haven't touched it (for digital art related purposes) in a LONG time. I began learning everything on there - photo editing, digital art, etc. It was difficult because starting on such an advanced program gave me a steep learning curve. That did help me, in a way. Using simpler programs became easier for me. But I have actually stopped using Photoshop because FireAlpaca is so good. I only keep it for photo editing, and because it's part of the Creative Cloud subscription, so I may as well keep using it. 3. For anyone starting out, definitely, start sketching on real paper for a while. There's no need to use canvas, just simple notebook paper would be perfect. After that, if you are still determined on getting a drawing tablet, get one of the cheaper ones by Wacom. Wacom is an amazing brand and I absolutely love their drawing tablets. Intuos used to be the cheapest model (it's used by quite a few famous KZbin channels as well) but now there's also "One" by Wacom which is really great. I personally liked it better than Intuos, because a lot of the features in Intuos really just bugged me. Most people like Intuos better though; it might just be me who prefers One. Either way, get either the One or the Intuos (both are by Wacom) if you're just getting into it. Even this channel; she uses Intuos as well! And after seeing that art style, I bet you want to be as good. :P It's okay. It's normal. Trust me, there's a huge chance you might not be in DIGITAL art specifically in the long run. If you are, that's just great, and you should then look into upgrading. Honestly, I've worked with a Cintiq as well, and although it's magical (^_^), it would be more suitable for developed art professionals. Firstly, because it's expensive ($800-$5000), and secondly, because you REALLY don't need it unless you're a proper professional. If it's going to bring in profits, then it's a good investment. If it's not, it's really just a bad one. The artwork I've seen made with A MOUSE (a bloody MOUSE) is phenomenal. For real though, if you work with a mouse, HATS OFF to you. While I'm not recommending going forward with a mouse if you can afford a tablet, I still am just trying to convince you that although you really want to believe it, your device is not going to make you better unless you work yourself. I still do believe that sometimes, but I guess that's just how the brain works. Get an affordable drawing tablet if you can, shut up, and start working. And if you cannot afford one (I know you guys are out there), get working with your mouse. I promise you, if you put your heart into it, you'll make things that you're proud of. I remember when I was starting out, I made a really crappy scenery, and while I was yodelling at my crappiness, I was genuinely proud of it. That's just how it works. Keep your head up and start working. 4. Once again, I want to thank this channel. Girl, you've helped me out so much. I'm literally ditching Photoshop for FireAlpaca, at least for now. I just prefer the simpler and artist-friendly layout so much. I don't use PTS (Paint Tool SAI) as often, either. And as you said, there aren't many tutorials on this. There are now, but a lot of them are yours. And I genuinely think yours are the best. I love you so much for this. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Your videos are not only informative but entertaining too and I love your art. Cant wait to see whats in store for 2017 and I cant wait to improve my art as well

[@skarpantre]

OH MY GOD, I didn't know about the expand option that you showed at 29 minutes, THANK YOU! :D That will save me a lot of time; before I selected the area with magic wand, then Select/Expand by 2 pixels, then increase the pen size to 1000, then paint with that, then resize pen... :D (just got to use FireAlpaca since yesterday and I love it so much over Gimp)

[@kottonkandy0962]

Today is my birthday, (July 26th) and I just got my first tablet. I already knew most of the functions a because of watching this video before getting it. If I find anyone wanting to buy a tablet for beginners or experienced but not exactly professional, I'll recommend using FireAlpaca and getting the tablet I got today which is a 10 x 6.25 inch graphic drawing tablet 4000 LPI, 200 RPS, 2048 Levels of pressure sensitivity by Monoprice. I love it to bits already, and can't wait until I can draw more, as I've already finished a simple doodle drawing. I love this tablet, and I recommend this tablet to anyone. Thanks to anyone who read until the end ^^ I know this comment be a little long (IDK really, because I'm on my phone so it might be shorter on PC) and just thank you for reading again .3. P.S, My tablet was bought off of the Monoprice website in case you're wondering. It's not a direct Wacom tablet, but it works just like one, and for a great price too.

[@Jolkster]

God, thank you so much for this. There's nothing more intimidating than starting a new art program with a million buttons and not knowing how to make them work. This guide was extremely helpful. Definitely going to be giving your other tutorials a watch too, consider me subscribed!

[@satahatanasio4130]

Thank you SO SO SO MUCH for making this video! You have no idea how frustrated I was trying to find a good program that would be easy to use as a completely new user of a drawing tablet.😥 I didn't know the basics, I didn't know what the pop-ups on the screen meant because I don't use computers often, I didn't know how to do things or why I needed to do them to start a project, I didn't know how to fix problems with the programs I was newly setting up, and I didn't have anyone in the house that could tell me what I need to know because they were either busy or they themselves didn't know. All I could find in the way of tutorials were really short steps to filling out information without explaining what the information was, how it would effect the set-up of the project, or taking into consideration that not all the people watching their tutorial videos understood the basics and that some of us were literally completely fresh to anything involving animation software. With that being the case for most of the videos I came across, I want to thank you so much for making this video going over all the details of what everything is, how it is used, how it effects what you are working on, and explaining everything in a way that is so very simple to understand. I really needed this.😊 I hope you are having as good of a day as you have made mine!😁

Hello! I watched the ENTIRE video! I HAVE A REASON! Soon I might be getting a digital art tablet thing and I needed to learn as much as I could about them. I always thought Paint Tool SAI was free because so many people used it but thanks to you, I now know that it isn't. I think Fire Alpaca is great from what you showed the veiwers in this tutorial. I appreciate that you took 40 minutes out of your time to show people how to use this stuff, I was confused at times but you then explained more and I understood! Thank you. ~Rouge

[@shigo96h56]

That helps a lot actually. Recently I've switched from GIMP to FireAlpaca, mainly because Windows updated and GIMP didn't wanna work properly anymore. FireAlpaca is a lot different from what I'm used to. It took a while before I found this but I'm glad I did so thanks a lot :D

It also tends to lag.

The pixel grid shows a grid of the pixels, but you have to have to be zoomed in pretty close to see it. Also, how you move references in the reference window, you have to deselect the eyedropper first. That allows you to move the picture around instead of picking the colors.

I save my work load as PSD files all the time. I never use the default fire alpaca option file because it won't be able to open in other programs. If you switch back and forth between programs such as gimp or photoshop it's useful to save it as a file those programs will recognize; like the psd files. It saves all the layers and you can continue to work on your work with a bunch of layers still active. So far your tutorials have been very helpful with my art journey as I learn fire alpaca. Your tutorials are the best I've ever seen. Thank you! PS: I could be wrong about the file alpaca files not being able to open in other programs but i tried with gimp (opening files from gimp in fire alpaca) and it wouldn't open.

Juwoolie If you click on the “Window” tab, you should be able to get back the Color wheel/bar and all that good stuff by clicking on them. Hope this helps!!

[@mulletking792]

this video has changed my entire way of doing digital art XD there are so many good tips

[@PandaLuver1996]

I used firealpaca for my digital book covers for my wattpad stories but I never got the hang of the digital art side of it. Thank you for clarifying this through the video! I might take up tinkering with firealpaca again 😊

[@patriciadominguez6259]

Wow I just got FireAlpaca and I swear was way too lost about how to make my lines look smooth your tutorial is superb !!!

[@randombubble8125]

Thanks for the assist with firealpaca! 😁 I'm just starting out with digital art, and there aren't many videos out there on KZbin that explain how to use firealpaca, so this is great 👍🏼

[@cryptidsteeth]

I'm wanting to try and use more than sai, and boooooyo is this video reaLLY HELPful and informative! I'm really glad that you made a timestamp list as well, since it'll make returning to this video to find certain things soo much more helpful! Alsoo if it's not been answered, you can save the file as a psd regardless of if you've got Photoshop or not. It helps for if you want to start the drawing in FireAlpaca but finish it or add effects in any other program that will open PSDs.

[@Magh_Metanoia]

Thanks a lot for taking time to make this video, it is super helpful, I wanted to give it a try at this program but wasn´t sure if it was worth the time. :)

[@rachaely.9570]

Thanks so much! I just got a drawing tablet yesterday and this video helped me understand FireAlpaca a lot.

[@nycto3488]

Thank you so so so much for making this video! I just started getting into digital art and you answered like, 98% of my questions! Keep up the great work! (Please... I am slowly being killed by my square brain not thinking good. Things are too confusing!)

[@andrealovestea]

I loved your video! I´m new to digital art and I was still unsure about the program I was using, because I didn´t really know all the options and stuff, but after seeing your video I decided firealpaca is more suited for me.

[@QueenSucho]

I have never heard of firealpaca, I've been using bootleg SAI for years. But I was curious after I saw the comic option and I just have to say thank you so much!

[@the1band1wagon]

This is super helpful that you've gone through almost all the tools, thanks!

[@yingbiyu9425]

Just downloaded Firelpaca, and I have to say that it's AMAZING!!

[@zombiedoll777]

Another way to deselect is by going to any of the select tools and double clicking. hope that was helpful

[@Taniya929]

I am just starting out on Firealpaca and this tutorial REALLY helps!

[@sugarprincekai]

thank you so much for making this, you made my life so much easier T-T i watched the entire thing and it was so incredibly helpful, you are amazing.

[@justine5293]

You're so great thank you for all your tips it felt like a revelation each time you showed a tool I didn't know. Thank you so much!!

[@emiliarendrag105]

This video actually gave some very helpful tips. I use FireAlpaca too (I'm glad I found someone else who likes it as much as me) and though it is a lot like other art programs I've used in the past it's always helpful to get a few pointers. ^_^

[@judah_bethany6971]

Thanks so much for making this tutorial, I just downloaded firealpaca and this taught me sooooo much! Keep up the great work!

[@JackSmith-tq8sq]

Great video ! Thank you ! The Pixel Grid seams to do nothing but if you zoom real big you will see the Grid the size of the pixel ! A Raster image is the opposite of Vector image, a raster image of P will be a rectangular grid of pixel, a vector image of P will store the point and will draw the line when it will be draw. If you zoom a Raster Image it will look bad, if you Zoom a Vector image it will look ok. png is for image with alpha (see through for the web), dpi is dots per inch higher will get a bigger file the image will look better. Bitmap is the old format that store the color in Bits, a black and white BMP would store 1 and 0, a bit map for 24 bits color would store 3 octets for each pixel like 1111 1111 1111.

[@cow2754]

It took me about 3 hours to actually get back into my own style using a tablet. The first 15 minutes I thought it was hopeless, but its all good now!

[@afroampharos]

I'm so happy I found this. I'm new to digital art and I'm gonna be using FireAlpaca.

[@orryyy]

I’ve just started using fire alpaca and this really helped me out Thanks
