I downloaded the exe and installed, the program was a no show, it claims to be running but nothing seen. I am running Win 7, any suggestions?

[@GrimReaperNegi]

Great video. But at 17:56 Krita won't let me resize images in that way. Diagonally.

[@jpzulu4610]

if we already did the frames for an animation in other programmes and i wanna get together how do i impoert the images without creating for every frame other layer?

[@Ningnomaningnong]

Can you please make a tutorial about all the short keys that can be used in Krita, and if you have time a tutorial about lineart/vectors. Thank you!!!!!

[@muse_weno_wow]

Please help me. I have a problem. When I save the image and open the place where it is saved, the window of the program you drew in it opens. The drawing should appear without its own program as an image.

[@strxbrry2791]

I downloaded it, got super frustrated, lost motivation, then months later I’m back just now realizing that tutorials exist for everything

[@gravy5796]

for real! it’s a huge adjustment to switch from software to software, especially switching from mobile ibis paint to something completely different.

[@hanaritos]

I just switched from Ibis (mobile) to Krita (On Kamvas) and oh buddy boy this is gonna take a while for me and my thick skull ;v; Edit: *Lmao sold Kamvas and bought Procreate instead lol*

[@Brookesyoutubestuff]

I've tried a few of the "beginners" tutorials for Krita and yours is by far the best at actually breaking down what each thing means and how to utilize it. Definitely just scratching the surface, but very easy to follow and learn the basics. Thank you!

[@CIELOside]

This exactly what I need it! For a beginner I was so confused and frustrated! Thank you to explain it slowly, examples and simple words

[@iSleepyPanda]

Thank you so much, Jamie. It may be three years later but this tutorial was so helpful for me. There's quite a few tips and features I was unaware of in Krita. Bless you. 💖

This was fantastic!! Way better than most reviews and tutorials I've watched. You are very methodical and tell us quite literally every step and thought process behind the action. Thank you!

[@lawrencedoliveiro9104]

5:12 Also you can drag with the middle mouse button to pan around. This seems to be a _de facto_ standard among many graphics programs.

Thank you! I just learned so MUCH from this video as a person with classical art but absolutely NO graphic design background

[@lawrencedoliveiro9104]

8:10 You didn’t mention, some of them change direction depending on which way you move them. So you get nice directional strokes.

[@priyanayar5024]

I bought a new hp laptop with a stylus and downloaded Krita and like how others mentioned got overwhelmed felt clueless. Your video seems to have motivated me to start and try again. Fingers crossed

[@lesliek.howard572]

Wow! Just what I needed. Thank you for the detailed video. Other tutorials move so fast it's like trying to keep up with a track runner when he's sprinting toward the finish line. Thanks for taking your time to explain how to use the tools.

[@peetrsonnn]

In this video, he goes through and gives a beginner tutorial on how to operate in the Krita program. He also talks about how it is not only a digital painting program, but it can work as a photo editor as well.

[@puslicapuslica3488]

I watched a lot a videos on this topic, but you are the only one that really paid atteneiton to everything. Thank you

[@christineriutzel]

Thank you so much! I got Krita and feel overwhelmed being use to photoshop.

[@fleshTH]

I am the same way. There are a few things in this video that I need to try out. I have been aware of Krita for a few years now and I do like it, but i'm so used to photoshop that it is hard for me to really do anything.

[@kawper]

I have a problem. Everytime I start up Krita, a lot of key tools are missing such as the Undo button. It seems like I'm in art mode, is there a way to put me into the mode that you're on?

[@toluesho]

For anyone trying Krita for the first time. Please don't be discouraged, take your time to learn every dimension of it, be consistent and have fun with it.

[@MissKlovey]

I was scrolling through what I had search up for creating, I came up across this video & I am so overwhelmed I came across this video! Just thank you so much & I do plan to donate to you guys in the future as well as tell others about you. :)

[@Skyvastern]

I have been using Krita for a while and enjoying it overall but after watching this video my appreciation towards Krita has greatly increased. Till now I was not aware that Krita was so much more than just another of the many Photoshop alternatives. But damn Krita is super freaking goood. Though I haven't used a lot of Photoshop features but the features which I just saw in Krita like able to detect objects through it's AI ( if I'm correct ), the ease of use and so many brushes with lots of different things to do are all so good and fun to play with. The people who have contributed to this open source project are really intelligent and hard working, keep up the great work and also you too Teacher's Tech 👍

[@yoyo_life1043]

This was very helpful! I lost some motivation to draw because i just got so overwhelmed so I’m glad this tutorial exsits ❤️❤️

[@Adrian-uw8gv]

Yeah it happens, if you are a beginner artist you can start with paint tool sai , it helped me get used to my drawing tablet, and once you get used to the basics of the program krita will be amaizing, you just need to get used to the new location of the tools

[@imageofanapple4455]

@@Adrian-uw8gv is it free to download ?

[@Adrian-uw8gv]

@@imageofanapple4455 Not technically... But its a portable program and the best way to share brushes and configurations is sharing the whole thing since it doesn't weight almost anything; so people give it away like candy. Also it's not getting support nor updates and it doesn't require registration, so there isn really any risk of losing your files

[@vinitharajan9478]

Hi Jamie Keet, Thanks for your time!!! This is really a great tutorial and that 27 minutes are really worth to watch and we got a lots of information from this.

Adobe’s days are numbered. I started using the online photoshop alternative Photopea this week for basic video graphics titling after our latest Photoshop upgrade refused to open a native .PSD that worked just fine months ago. Subscription software and constant updates are a big creativity downer. Kudos to developers of apps like this and the apps that move the industry and creativity forward without needing a money grab I.e. Davinci Resolve, Photopea, Gimp, etc.

[@OmerAsh]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. The UI was a bit overwhelming when I first installed the program but this video made everything so simple.

As a fulltime linux user for years i always struggled with Gimp. Just can't get used to it (even after years). I will try Krita now...thanks for your help on using the app. Keep up this kind of work!

[@smaltorn8964]

It means crayon in swedish. Were pretty sure.

[@solrart]

Krita is Swedish and you know how to pronounce "Gre-ta" as in "Greta Thunberg" the famous climat activist. Kri-ta is not far of. Krita means to draw.

[@MrGaarasbabygurl]

At 17:36 You were able to remove that black background/border without removing the picture. How did the software 'know' to remove that and not the entire image?

[@kuilan619]

It's like the reverse of a fill tool, you sample the color that you want to have selected and you can modify it, in this case he deleted every single pixel of that specific black in that image.

[@pitchingforlife256]

Thanks for the tutorial. This is very helpful! I am wondering what software or tool did you use to project the screen behind you and have you talk in the corner. If it is not a software, what is your setup like? I am thinking to do similar videos for education purposes.

Great tutorial enjoyed it immensely, was really looking forward to learning something new. but being in my senior years and having a poor memory makes this really, hard wish i could get a list of the tools and their uses printed off from somewhere to refer too, it would make such a difference for me.

[@dumdumbox]

Hi there! Just wanted to let you know, Krita does have a quite helpful and in depth user manual out there! Here's the link :) docs.krita.org/en/user_manual.html You could print whatever is most of use to you there. I'd also like to suggest making a practice canvas to fool around on! Click on every single tool and just play around to see what it does. Change the parameters, mess with colors, etc. Doing is the best learning for sure. Happy creating!

[@sydneyrobberson6179]

emanandchill - Wow, GIMP will be 24 years old this Saturday (15th of Feb)... I had no idea that it was a 90s program.

[@emanandchill]

@@DaveLennonCopeland Oh wow. I overestimated. It's been 13 years for me. I started around 2006-2007. Never used photoshop even though I could've. lol I could just do everything i needed in gimp anyway. And gimp was way easier to learn everything. If you didn't know you can actually download extensions for gimp to add features to it.

[@DaveLennonCopeland]

emanandchill - I've been using GIMP for about 6 years now, it's still my goto art program. It's easy to learn, as you say, and above all, it's free... Adobe Photoshop is ok but at £540 ($700) and/or some weird subscription price, who would really want it save for professional digital artists... And yeah, I do know about extra downloadable GIMP plugins, Script-Fu and brushes... I tried the Krita program, but still go back to GIMP... :)

[@eertikrux666]

Thanks a lot However, I realized the brush is very pixelated, is there a way to make it smoother? Does it have something to do with a vector layer?
