Hi, great work ! That helped me with some tricks, thanks.

[@SampoPesonen]

thats great to hear :)

[@KezzBracey]

Suuuuuper cool, I loved this!

[@hydiegoyh]

super cool! many thanks for sharing your talent ⭐

[@MaxiPadYT]

Amazing I wish I had this talent, I just picked it back up again use to use gimp but I figured I'd give Krista a shot

[@SampoPesonen]

I personally never got to Gimp. Krita does everything for me. Not even used Photoshop anymore, so I totally recommend giving Krita a try!

[@antospin4004]

Fabulous work!! How did you do the shadow and light thing?

[@SampoPesonen]

By using multiply layer for the shadow and screen layer for the lights and then adjusting the layer opacity. There is few layer types that you should try out and they are helpful for some effects.

[@antospin4004]

@@SampoPesonen thank you, what is the difference between multiply layer and screen layer? And what is their function?

[@SampoPesonen]

@@antospin4004 They are explained in the manual: docs.krita.org/en/reference_manual/blending_modes.html Also search digital painting tutorials people using those. Photoshop has the same types so the software really doesnt matter.

[@antospin4004]

@@SampoPesonen amazing! I'll have a look to that, last thing, I'm using aesprite for pc and pixel studio for Android. Does this program allow this function?

Hello, how are you aces at making pixel art drawings in KRITA? I'm just starting out in Krita.

[@SampoPesonen]

Hi, just start with very small canvas when making new image. Something like 240x320 or similar. Krita has couple of pixel art brushes ready. The one 1 pixel brush is the most important and just start painting with it. It takes time and practice.

[@eliuxc]

thank you so much @@SampoPesonen

[@cdtviswab2467]

please clarify the following things: 1. how do you get the lines so thick and clear without jags 2. what resolution do you use thank you, your art work is mesmerizing.

[@SampoPesonen]

1. I just use 1 pixel brush, im not sure what you mean with thickness. I usually clean the lines with eraser to avoid the jagged lines. 2. Resolution is always something small, example 240 x 320 etc. You can always rescale the canvas and when you finish upscale by 4x with nearest neighbours algorithm.

¡adoro esta animación! Actualmente utilizó krita para pixelart, pero cuando trato de renderizar una animación después no me deja volver a habrirlo en krita y es un problema. No se si sea por el formato mp4 pero nose que hago mal

[@SampoPesonen]

Muchas gracias, yo siempre exportar animación en Krita en format de PNG y después usar una aplicación para video para hacer el vídeo con mejor calidad. No creo q es muy fácil hacer el formato en video con Krita realmente.

[@unapersonamasacuna7108]

@@SampoPesonen entiendo de igual manera aunque descubrí el problema y era que si quería volver a trabajar el video en krita, primero tenía que exportar la animación como formato de krita, y después recien renderizar a formato mp4. Otro punto para lograr un video de calidad es cambiar la resolución de imagen a 1080×1080 en fíltro poner *vecino más cercano* para que al cambiar no se deforme y ¡listo! Así se ve en mejor calidad creo yo. Igual muchísimas gracias

Pretty Good! I know NOTHING about drawing digital art, I only know programming. But I was curious as a hobby to draw some simple 2D barbarian style characters for a basic 2D game. Never made a game before, but figured I could use my programming skills with Unity to create something. But I've done a day of googling, and I am looking for something basic and not too complicated. I see Krita, CLIP STUDIO, GIMP. After a day of googling haven't found anyone online who has a personal preference on which is the simplest for beginners to get started with. Could you share from your personal experience which one you liked the most??

[@SampoPesonen]

Sure, I never got to familiar with Gimp but lots of people use it. The UI put me off from the start but if you are ok with it, Im sure GIMP does the job. Last time I used Clip studio, it didnt really have pixel art support / brushes. That might have changed since. I personally use Krita 99% of my Pixel Art stuff. Before I used Photoshop and Krita was super easy transform. I totally recommend it. Paint.net (if you are using Windows), is also pretty good alternative. I use it for fast edits becauase opens faster than Krita. Great line tool and pixel perfect brush which I would love to have in Krita. If you are willing to spend money, Aseprite is most likely the "best" pixel art app there is. Also the simplest because its just targetted to make Pixel Art. Hopefully these tips are helpful to you! :)

wow that's so cool!

I know is not for drinking but I want to drink that green soda, so sparkly! 😅💀 Edit: I want to start drawing pixel art to start making a game as solo. Love this work! Amazing..

Hi there, I usually use procreate but now I wish to try Krita. May I ask, did you use the default pixel art brushes or something else?

[@SampoPesonen]

I use 99% of the time the default pixel art brushes in the Krita. Sometimes I blend the colors etc with something else.

How you learned to be good at animation and drawing?

[@SampoPesonen]

There is no secrets, its 95% just by doing animation and drawing and maybe less than 5% tutorials and such.

[@electricimpulsetoprogramming]

@@SampoPesonen Thanks!

[@electricimpulsetoprogramming]

@@SampoPesonen How long do you think it takes for a beginner to get at your lever if this beginner practice everyday for 8 hours?

[@SampoPesonen]

@@electricimpulsetoprogramming Really impossible to say, we all are different. Really I dont think you need to practice 8 hours everyday. Start doing 15 - 30mins per day. Its better to keep improving every day little, than try to make huge sessions and burnout or never even make those practises. Keep doing pixel art and enjoy it, thats the best way to get good at it.

[@k0lnsim513]

What is the canvas size?

[@SampoPesonen]

I usually use full HD divided by 4 or 5. Depending on the feeling. Its not so important because after you rescale it to be bigger, you have room adjust. This might be something like 480 x 270.

[@marvelousmeatbeater6532]

@@SampoPesonen Excuse me but how you rescale pixel animations exactly? i tried krita and set up 192x108 resolution for my canvas and all i get after rendering my animation as mp4 or webm or gif is a blurry mess

[@marvelousmeatbeater6532]

ok, i figured it out, sorry for bothering i should just press "Image > Scale Image To New Size", select "Nearest Neighbor" , click OK and ONLY then press render animation with desired resolution

@@marvelousmeatbeater6532 I export them as PNG`s and used another program to make them as animations, example blender or ScreenToGif etc.
