How To Use Krita's Assistant Tool And What It's Good For - Tutorial

[@anafaithcristobal5444]

I just installed Krita and I'm starting to self-study on drawing, then I was brought here. I was very amazed about what I learned here! Thank you!

[@Orphanlast]

No problem! Yeah I don't use Krita that often anymore. HOWEVER you will probably enjoy the Teach Me To Draw Series as well as the Curvilinear Perspective Playlist. The Teach Me To Draw Playlist starts out with introducing ideas and kinda handing out assignments. Like "Dissect a sketch from a reference" You see me do it, and basically the idea is that you pick something you want to draw and do the same. And then there's the "Draw from everything" video, where you should be drawing from literally everything. I don't know what your aspirations are, but if you've never drawn a tea cup and you're making an image that needs a tea cup odds are you won't be able to draw that tea cup as well if you've never practiced drawing it. Then there's the "Drawing isn't about where the Lines Go" video, where I discuss that drawing isn't about where you place your lines. Drawing isn't about lines. It's about trying to communicate a three dimensional shape on a two dimensional surface. And then I start teaching Linear Perspective. I feel this is the best beginner course out there. And I'm going to continue to to teach it. The Curvilinear Perspective Playlist is great because it teaches that there's more than just one point, two point, and three point perspective. It can go upwards to six point perspective. It's a bit of an advanced course. I made it early on in my channel's history. Forgive the primitive nature of it. But it teaches how to draw panoramic images. And you'd be amazed at the uses for it.

[@anafaithcristobal5444]

this is awesome! I'll follow your advise and videos! Thank you so much! ❤❤❤

[@saifulissam636]

Try the weighted freehand brush & dynamic brush too!

[@NekoSamaIru]

I KNEW this tool was useful even though I didn't understand it! I never thought the perspective rulers were hidden inside this tool.

[@Orphanlast]

Totally. So, next week's video will have me working on Blender (free program), and even though it's 3D software, I'll be detailing Curvilinear Perspective... 3D software seems better for teaching curvilinear perspective, because, it's basically "how to draw panoramic images". I'll be covering 5 point perspective first. I'll be using grease pencil to do a demonstration. Then I'll be translating that over to 2D software, and how to do the same thing with 2D.

[@ladanski]

How I am just seeing this now!? This is EXTREMELY helpful. THANK YOU!!!

[@Orphanlast]

:) No problem! Check out my Teach Me To Draw Playlist (it leads into talking into Perspective down the road. Take it easy. Learn at your own pace. Watch me draw, the thought process,see what you can learn.) Then the Curvilinear Perspective Playlist (Starts with a bunch of introduction videos. It's a difficult concept to get people to understand without 3D software (and I didn't have any at the time) But it gets into teaching how to draw different kinds of panoramic images. It's advanced, but it's worth your time.

[@ladanski]

@@Orphanlast Thanks a million. I have subscribed to your channel. Seriously, your explanations are 100/100.

[@mistafisha]

Wow! My first real go at digital painting has been in Krita and these tools are great to know about! I can see these being huge time-savers and just to easing the frustration of doing technical art!!!

[@Orphanlast]

Definitely!

[@silverlightyoake9938]

Krita is my program to use with my current computer and I have been trying to figure out how to make a room for one of the stories I'm creating and hoping to turn into a visual novel as well at some point. This video was very informative and was easy to understand and I know this was made almost 2 years ago now but as an artist, I thank you for making this.

[@Orphanlast]

:) Awesome Check out my Teach Me To Draw Playlist and my Curvilinear Perspective Playlist. They'll help you out quite a bit in drawing backgrounds. It takes a while for the Teach Me To Draw Playlist to delve into teaching about how to draw in perspective, but really, I cover some topics that people should be observing.

[@ewie1518]

Oh wow this tutorial is GOLD! The assistant tool will safe my time for so much HOURS, I used to make an artwork for a whole month just to finish it because I didn't use any of these assistants. Thank you so much Orphanlast, this will help me tremendously, I might as well binge watch all your tutorials and playlists!

[@Orphanlast]

Hell yeah!

[@nlight8769]

Wow, I learned photoshop like almost 20 years ago, and since then used it and gimp for drawing occasionally when I was feeling it, never giving thought on other softwares... Damn, Krita just blows me away ! It is so awesome ! While it won't magically makes me better by themselves, these assistants will definitely help recover some lost skills due to lack of practice, as today my head remember more than my hand. Thank you so much

[@Orphanlast]

Yeah, Krita has a legitimate place on the scene. However I've recently been using Affinity Photo, Affinity Designer, and Affinity Publisher for the work I've been doing. (Each one is only $50 a pop and VERY GOOD). It's nice having the assistant tool. But you can actually freehand everything. If you want. My most recent videos show that

[@nlight8769]

@@Orphanlast Yeah, freehanding is where the lack of practice clearly shows, i'm like back to college... hence the usefulness to these assistants, it can help focus on other aspects than straight perfect motor skills, helping laying out a rough scene, and then honing back hand skill. Anyway, thanks for pointing to this other software, I'll definitely check it out

[@Orphanlast]

@@nlight8769 yeah no problem. If you'd like to check out those Affinity products, I pretty much use them exclusively on my channel these days, except for blender. Next Friday's video is on Blender. It's gonna be cool. If you like drawing, but don't like drawing each and every frame, you still need to babysit frames, but Blender has a line interpolation that fills in all the inbetween drawings, sorta automatically. What it doesn't get just perfect, you can fix fairly easily by sculpting the lines. Affinity Designer is my favorite of the Affinity line of products. You're able to make some awesome vector art with it, AND I do believe I'm the only person with a tutorial on how to draw and color in Affinity Designer.

[@Orphanlast]

[@horizonpenblade1288]

so at about 10:20 when you extended the third perspective side, is there a way to make sure the third border (the downward line between the two... hard to explain in text) is connected/cloned like the first two were? or do you just have to keep them close?

[@Orphanlast]

I unfortunately don' know what you mean. BUT a link to my Discord server is in the video description of my newer videos. If you join it and say "@orphanlast let's do a screen share" I'll know who you are. And when I have the time to respond, I'll PM you and see if I can help you.

[@DarrenTAnims]

This was really useful. Thanks for putting this together. I'll have to have a play with it, especially for backgrounds. One other area that would be helpful to understand though, is how you apply colour. I've seen something in your videos (you used it quite a bit in your ordinary object to space ship video) where you (I think) make a selection, then use a spray can-type effect to apply some colour to the edges of the object. That looks like a useful technique.

[@Orphanlast]

Oh there's a brush in Krita, it's called something "Airbrush". But you got it spot on. I use the fill select on the exterior of the pic, shrink the selection by 2 pixels, press ctrl+shift+I to inverse the selection, use a different layer that's lower on the stacking order and fill in gray. and I then put in the blue aztecing . Then on top of those layers (inclusing the line work) I used a darker desaturated color with a miltiply blending mode and shaded with the airbrush brush, and really quickly laid that down shadows do tend to bleed into other parts of the image, but although you don't need to draw inside the lines, you need to think of the light source. if you need to use more layers to be able to erase bits and not damage already well shaded areas, then do that.

[@trimatije]

Awesome!! Thank you!! RIP heart companion

[@mnurkose7316]

So helpful!!! Thank you for making this! I have a question : Whenever I color in KRITA with the fill bucket tool, I get these little white dots on the edges. It doesn't color the thing completely. How do I fix this?

[@Orphanlast]

I had problems with that. There are some settings to make it fill a few extra pixels when colliding with other pixels... but... if you have a thin line somewhere, it could just make that thicker, by accident. I'll just magic wand the areas you want there to be a fill, grow the selection, make a new layer. Fill. And then merge the fill layer, or something

[@Utrilus]

A bit late, dunno if it existed back then, but in tool options you can set the fill area to grow by 1 pixel or more. That fixes it. Edit: yeah added 1 year after the comment. There is also enclose and fill tool now which fills in areas from the outside edges of the line art. Tho that might need to set grow to be -1 pixel.

[@vasilivros4166]

I really like your hype about the assistant tool and fish eye perspective.

[@Orphanlast]

Good to hear! :D

[@sanalps10]

Thank you...really good tutorial...have learnt so much so fast in half hour.

[@Orphanlast]

Right on. Be sure to check out the "Teach Me To Draw" playlist and afterward, the "Curvilinear Perspective Playlist" In those I teach two different types of ways to draw backgrounds. So, that said, the TMTD Playlist takes a bit of time to teach perspective. But I cover topics that are important. Like ways to recognize what your seeing in your reference. If you don't have a trained eye to see what your actually seeing or to even recognize proportions, I teach the grid method. I also talk about how drawing isn't about "where the lines go." It's not about memorizing lines. It's about recognizing 3D shapes and simulating the illusion of those shapes with something called foreshortening. The easiest way to start comprehending foreshortening is with perspective. But the problem is, most people find foreshortening to be so difficult to comprehend, that they give up on perspective entirely. And that's a shame, because what good is someone's concept art and character designs if they can't draw a background... the world those characters' live in. I mean... it's the most important "character" of them all.

[@sanalps10]

@Orphanlast Thanks again..checked the tutorial series. Thanks for explaining how it is done professionally step by step from the basics. I am going to watch them. subscribed..

[@joannemariebiso860]

Best tutorial I found for assistant tools. Now my next go to topic is where to place my points

[@Orphanlast]

Where to place your vanishing points? Just freehand a box that has the camera angle you want, follow the edges of that box out and where the edges intersect with each other, you have a vanishing point.

[@Orphanlast]

My latest video describes where to put your vanishing points. It's worth watching! :D

Thanks! Yeah, if you found this helpful, check out the "Teach Me To Draw" Playlist, on my channel. If the first few videos don”t grab ya, just skip them. But I go more in depth with linear perspective and I have one very powerful video where I start teaching curvilinear perspective. I use 3D software to demonstrate what's happening on the picture bowl.

[@adamthorntonillustration9281]

@@Orphanlast Thanks for replying. I will take a look at those recommendations. Best wishes to you. Adam. UK

[@Orphanlast]

Right on. If you understand everything from the "Teach Me To Draw" Playlist, move on over to the Curvilinear Perspective Playlist. It teaches more on how to draw panoramic images, and how useful panoramic images are. (It''s more advance.) And of course I'll respond! My audience is small, and that allows me to be more personable with my advice. With what's, at least currently, my most recent video, about reaching 5,500 subs, I show how I interact with my audience. It's like having an art tutor to some extent. It's mainly about my Discord community, because Discord is the closest I can be to being in the same room. It offers me those sort of tools to critique your (yours) artwork. Also, you might like the "Critique and Redraw" two parter series. It's another example of how I've interacted with my audience. I even did a crowd source with you guys to get more perspective tools into Opentoonz! If you don't know what Opentoonz is... is a free piece of animation software. It made Balto, pretty much every Studio Ghibli movie, Futurama, Steven Universe. Yeah. It's free now. And open source. And I funded (with my audience) a developer to put more perspective tools into it. It's a resume. :D

[@whyyypsilon]

Thanks to you my level off drawing just explode (and im going to watch your other perspective tutorials)

[@Orphanlast]

Right on, yeah, right now it's incomplete. But the teach me to draw series has a few perspective tutorials. And the curvilinear perspective playlist teaches how to draw different types of panoramic images. I'm going to eventually get around to remaking the curvilinear perspective playlist in a way that gets people to understand what's happening. I'll be using blender to show how various cartographic projections can wrap around different round objects. And then use them in order to draw right onto a bowl, or a cylinder, in order to demonstrate what's happening on a flat page. It sounds confusing when I say it. But it'll make more sense than the current curvilinear perspective playlist. And it'll... be less advanced.

This is so amazing specially for me who's just starting out. But unfortunately there are only 4 options for me (latest version): None, Basic, Weighted, Stabiliser. What am I doing wrong?

@@aLoudSi1ence right on. Generally though, my whole community is geared towards the newbie. And we share our art on Discord, I offer critiques, some are more detailed than others. If you'd like a private critique (advise on how to draw something better by... unfortunately pointing out "what's wrong" with a picture you've drawn) then just say so before posting the artwork, and I'll PM the critique. Usually the WIP section is for critiques, trying to catch mistakes early on, BEFORE the picture is finished, so that the final version comes out just right.

[@Orphanlast]

Good question. If you know anything about geometry, a "right angled triangle" is a 90° corner to the triangle accompanied by two corners that form a 45° angle. The 90° is used the most often by draftsmen and construction workers. So it's called a "square".

18:50 What do you mean, math is not fun? 😮 haha yes it is! This is all math-based! (Math teacher here 👼)

[@Orphanlast]

Oh, I know it's all math based, lineal geometry, and for curvilinear perspective it's mixing that lineal geometry with cartographic projections. (If you're a math teacher, then you'll get better at perspective than I ever will). I just don't use math laden terminology in my videos. I figured, that would make them more accessible. Even WITH the jargon being accessable, I still have some people saying I'm going way over their head... and I just feel like I've done as much reductionism that I can. By reductionism, what I mean is taking something extremely complex, and then reducing it down to it's least number of steps or components, to render the same or similar result. That's the approach I took at teaching perspective. Yet at the same time, those same people that complain about there being too many steps wind up complaining about why my content didn't cover something SUPER obscure, or why I'm not going EVEN MORE into depth with it. I'm not saying you're one of the "never happy" critics, but... yeah... I guess I'm trying to justify the process I took. And I guess I don't have to. You would love my "fisheye perspective" video, as well as my Curvilinear Perspective playlist. (Teaches you how to draw panoramic images which look awesome and are good for animation). I figured you'd appreciate those videos. In some of the "Teach Me To Draw" playlist (if I were you, feel free to skip around) there's some videos where I'm describing the logic behind every line I draw on the page. It's sad that after all that reductionism, some people see my sketch... and they still don't know how I come to the final drawing... Bizarre...

[@JacobChrist]

I'm cool with math, bring it on...

[@Orphanlast]

Right on, so, on my channel, there's two playlists. The curvilinear perspective playlist, I teach how to draw a few different types of panoramic images. There's a few techniques for measuring with geometry that I teach in that playlist. Then the Teach Me To Draw playlist. It quickly went into teaching perspective because I was trying to teach a few subscribers how to get better. Their questions were on "how do you think of what you're drawing as shapes and forms rather than as a series of flat lines?"... and... you can sculpt, or you can start using perspective... in the end, I'm not sure if I've helped anyone, though I'll continue to try. In the Teach Me to Draw playlist, on my channel, I cover more ways of measuring things than in the Curvilinear Perspective Playlist. There's probably more measuring techniques, but if you've seen what I can draw -- these are what I use. Finding the center of an area is something you'll use a crap load. It's a technique you'll use over and over and over again. Drawing in perspective, in a bunch of ways is like playing the artist's game of chess, but it's a single player game and you're your own opponent. You're constructing a mathematical puzzle where you're blindly (feels like being a blind man) trying to find shapes and forms with hundreds of X's and trying to make heads and tails out of all of it. Personally, I color code what X's do what. But the system I use in deciding what colors to use for each little bit of math can quickly become convoluted, so you have to think carefully. Otherwise you can ruin the image.

To bad the is no tool to save be from spatial awareness and forms :) but for real trying to draw without being able to rotate things in your head is the worse.

Most artists, use references when they're struggling with things at weird angles. People will discourage you for using references. But usually those are morons that aren't artists. Or are generally prohibiting themselves from ever being a read artist. Perspective is a powerful artistic tool. I talk about it quite a bit on my channel. The Teach Me To Draw Playlist and the Curvilinear Perspective playlist, both talk about perspective. (Though, the Teact Me To Draw Playlist covers OTHER Miscellaneous topics.

@@Orphanlast thanks bit it's more then about not being able to see and know how to use reference shapes like say you wanted to draw say a dog so you look up a dog at a angle now say you wanted to do the nose you would be unable to visualize what shape the nose is or to be more clear you would have issues not having a warped triangle. Truth be told I have been thinking about up loading a video kind of showing of the issue more.

@@ryanclemons1 it would be a warped triangle.

Video is way too long, should have been chopped up into 5 min sections imo

It's about one tool in Krita. No one would watch a whole series of videos about one tool. And when a series is made, the first video gets all the views and the rewatches, and the others don't get any attention. A series of videos does no one any good whatsoever.

math its not fun

[@simjans7633]

Math is not fun?! I disagree!

[@Orphanlast]

Some people draw to escape things like math.
