Tips to fix your drawing and linearts on Krita

[@kathywolf4558]

Don't apologize for your your French accent....or "English" mistakes. You should hear English speakers....my goodness. They are not textbook! This was very helpful. Merci.

[@DavidRevoy]

Thank you very much, I have a confidence issue on speaking English and receving your words really help. 🥰

That mirror impression is so painfully relatable ;_;

[@mevaniel3010]

I can't find many artists using Krita and finding videos like these is so hard.. so getting quality information from this channel made me so happy. You are such a great artist!

[@Alina_the_Hedgehog]

Normally, I just see videos like "How to draw this and that". But your videos help to improve one's process and fix drawing errors. This is especially helpful since I've learned that, the further you're progressed with your drawing, the harder it becomes to fix mistakes you've made early-on

[@DavidRevoy]

Hey Alina 😃 Thank you for the comment, and very true.

[@Colaris99]

Great tips, thank you. When I was younger I used to literally hold my drawings up to a mirror and was amazed/shocked to see the errors just 'appear' in front of me where before they were completely hidden. It was like a magic trick that still suprises me today.

[@captainveeee]

Don't apologize for any English "mistakes" you make; if you spend time long enough with native english speakers you might find we make just as many or even more mistakes and it's nothing to worry bout, mistakes happen and they are nothing to be worried about. Also your accent is beautiful and whenever I hear it I'm like oh yay it's another video from David! It is very nice to listen to and complements your videos and teaching style. Damn though I needed to know that copy layer function forever ago xD I always just toggle the visibility between the two layers, plus didn't even think of setting up a short cut for toggling layers, thank you for saving me many, many hours!

[@DavidRevoy]

Thank you very much for your nice feedback and your encouraging words about my English and my accent. It really helps !

i love the intro already and its relatable finally another tips on lineart in Krita Thank for making this

[@scarlet8078]

Amazing video! I mainly paint so I tend to correct with liquefy brush or lasso, but I'd use this technique on a sketch. The exaggerated feeling when mirroring is so true. It doesn't even lessen as we gain experience, because artist's eye is always improving. I still see "mistakes" if I mirror at the end of painting. I used to spend more hours rendering that didn't improve the painting enough to justify the time. Sometimes it even made it overworked. Now, I sleep on it & when I see the painting in morning, 90% of the time I am satisfied to send to the client

[@DavidRevoy]

Thank you for the feedback and I totally agree here. 👍

[@maki6203]

david seriously you're a hero to beginners like me who had no idea how to use a software like krita efficiently. your tips, brushes and tutorials made the process of drawing so much easier and better for me!!!

[@DavidRevoy]

hey, thank you for your kind comment. 👍

[@MKCrystal]

Hi David! It's always a treat to learn from you. I really don't mind your accent. If you ask me, it adds to the charm of your craft. Much love, David!

[@DavidRevoy]

THANK YOU very much, it really help to receive words like yours about my accent. 👍

[@QuotePilgrim]

I was very confused about what exactly the "copy" blending mode did until I read it on the Krita manual, so here's my personal tip for anyone learning any piece of software: always read the manual.

[@Laeshen]

manuals are omniscient documents ...as long as the engineers who wrote it were taking their job seriously (which I can say from experience, the Krita devs are)

[@donflamingo795]

@@Laeshen manual is even more important for more complex software like Blender

[@liethzdevlin]

Copy does what some of us do manually, hide the original, show the new, hide the new, show the original, but in the easiest way possible, very much appreciated.

[@Utrilus]

I've been doing it by holding down alt and clicking on layers. But making a copy layer and a visibility hotkey, that's some advanced stuff. I gotta try it out.

[@tinadercourt8161]

Love your videos! And as a Swiss girl your French English, too! It's even easier to understand than most native speaking 😊 Thank you for all the great tips for beginners ❤

[@tinadercourt8161]

Just one question. I am working on a tablet with no possibility for shift+... If there is some other options for tablet users only, this would be nice to also here in the videos. Thx!

[@DavidRevoy]

@@tinadercourt8161 Thank you! For enlarging the diameter of the liquify tool, there is only Shift+drag ; I think another possibility is to just alter the size of the brush on the top toolbar (but I'll have to check it). In any case, it's a solid usability bug and I really hope this part of Krita will receive some love soon.

[@laurencelikeit459]

Sheer brilliance! thank you very much. I am finally getting to a stage in my understanding and playing with Krita where your videos are extremely useful on whole new levels for me. Mega Kudos for your wonderful videos.😍😍🤩🤩

[@Teney1994]

Maybe its just me, but I like the uncorrected version more overall. Beautiful art style! Thank you for the tips!

[@DavidRevoy]

Thank you! I totally see what you mean: sometime the original sketch has a preserved 'rythm' into the lines, and spontaneous mistakes that are charming. I learned very recently that this patch of corrections, even when they bring a lot of better volumes and more correct proportion and line placement are visible and no more part of the global rythm.

[@hunszaszist]

Cool method! I also learned that I shouldn't try to fix artwork that already looks good, or I'll just make it worse! I get the example nature of this, but when I tried to decide which version looked better without looking at the top left corner, I kept thinking the "unfixed" version looked way better, except for middle girl :D (And Rightie's ear)

[@gerinja]

I liked the sketch before you did the correction. Somehow to me it was better before.

[@Gashren]

Thank you for all your work in creatign these videos, they really are a mine of good tips! I have a question: is the "V" shortcut (at 5:40) default for drawing lines, or something you have set up yourself, as with the layer visibility shortcut?

[@Lalrix]

damn that ui looks sick

[@cyanlos01]

I never considered using the Copy blending mode before! I've always just duplicated and hid the previous layer. BTW, can I suggest a tutorial idea? I'd like to know how your drawings always look this clean. By "clean", I mean that, despite all the details, your drawings always look readable, and it seems to be due to how you lay down your lines, and the direction of those lines. Even the shading lines feel so rhythmic, and the lines always follow the form. Could you make some tips and best practices video on that?

[@DavidRevoy]

Thank you very much, and ideas noted! 👍

[@tiagocosmos]

great tips. Do you have a tip for smoothing the lineart itself? I feel like there's something wrong with my tablet and it's pressure, i always get these shaky lines it's so annoying.

[@vanessad2873]

Select the brush tool. Open the tool options docker. There are several stabilizers there. I usually draw ith the basic stabilizer always on, and if I need a super long super smooth curve I'll use the one that imitates a rigger brush. If I need a perfectly straight line I'll just hold down v

[@kerrilynndehart9127]

@@vanessad2873 Mr. David demonstrated one time using a comix smooth feature filter. But on the last update of krita I lost it as a favorite and I was wondering if Mr. David knew if Krita had a new filter it had added instead.

[@tratran1722]

Very helpfull

[@Azy-Al]

where can I find the liquify other than right clicking? With I'm using Krita 5 and whenever I right click, it cuts and drags everything around the selection :/

[@DavidRevoy]

Hi, you can find the liquify option in the Tool Option docker (but the tool option docker will display the tabs only when the Transform Tool is selected).

[@richardennis5707]

Why select "copy" for the duplicate layer? I don't understand what that does because I can compare the changed layer with the original without doing that. ??

[@DavidRevoy]

When comparing two line-art (with black lines and opacity background) you can't stack the new version over the previous: or you'll see the two line-art on top of each other. You have to hide one and reveal the other, and it's long to do .With "copy" you can just hide/reveal the one on the top to compare the two.

[@rrkred3561]

i feel like the first 2 were improved but the 3rd one i liked the uncorrected one better

[@DavidRevoy]

Thanks for the feedback! Yes, it's always hard to bring to a previous piece a pass of self-correction (while recording). I recently trained hard with ballpen point on sketchbook and I would probably do all these fixes very differently today.

[@gnar6472]

Im curious what is the mirror is really about like would someone flip your art?

[@DavidRevoy]

Hey, there is an interesting story about the first Manga books republished in France during the end of the 90s; the publisher would mirror all the comic page to get the left to right direction of reading comic panel; and they mirrored all art doing that. Japanese artist who saw their art mirrored really had big issue watching at this publication (I grew up with this books), and later, all Manga French publishers started to publish in original direction of reading as a respect to the author's art. A real case here of publisher flipping art of artist :)

[@gnar6472]

@@DavidRevoy ooo thank you so so much and that is very interesting as well (also the part that i think its cool you grow up with those books, those copies might be very rare nowadays) i also think i kinda understand the mirror one because of the patter in where to start in the comic i would like to know more about the history of mirrored comic and im starting to make a comic and im very thankful of your tutorials you are a life saver!
