If theres anything I didn’t cover in this video or any questions you have, don’t hesitate to let me know!! ^^


* 00:58 Turns out when working in pixels, the resolution shouldn't have much of an effect on lag.
* Also correction for 1:40, I don't recommend working in CMYK from the start as that will limit you to a smaller colour space, so if you want to print something just convert it from RGB to CMYK later! (thank you so much to the person who let me know!!)

I'm a sucker for keyboard shortcuts, so here are all of them listed:
m: mirror image (for proportions)
4: rotate left
6: rotate right
shift+space+drag: more rotation control
5: reset rotation to 0
+ and - : zoom in and out
1: reset zoom
2: zoom to fit page
3: zoom to page width
shift+drag: resize brush
ctrl+click: color pick

"start with a really rough sketch" proceeds to draw face that looks better than everything I ever made

The tutorial started off great, not only pointing us to the important tools but also explaining why they are important, but after you gave your favourite pencils everything went ridiculously fast and I can only search for other tutorials now to properly understand it.

I'm mixed on this video:

Good: I really like how you talk about setting things up, and navigation. I also like you taking to show & explain your preferred brushes.
Bad: Once you start painting - You speed everything up, and don't show how to do some of the important bits, like how to setup masks in layers.

For the next video, would you mind taking a few to slow down on parts, like masks, layers and other things you're doing, and show how to do that? (For those who are getting started in drawing, not just getting started in Krita.)

mmm ok just draw it "messy" 9:33
proceeds to draw a masterpiece

Her messy sketch is more perfect than what I'll be able to do in my entire life.

I didn't comment at the time but this helped me last year so much. One of the best tutorials I've seen. Lots of info and easy and interesting to watch. Tysm

[jadentheenby]

I’ve been using Krita for the past year now (I’ve never done digital drawing prior to using Krita), and even after using the program for so long your video still taught me things I didn’t know yet! Thank you so much for making this video ✨

[SovietGrizzly]

that moment when you are actually taking notes from a youtube video.

[Bnuuy]

I can't believe that someone precisely published a digital tutorial on the exact program that i'm using as a starter in 2020 and 2021. :o

[rickfiocco]

Dynamite tutorial for a advanced or beginner digital painters. I am sure I will watch this over and over again getting more and more out of it every time I get stuck and/or progress. Thank you.

[PornEqualsHappiness]

The Best BEGINNER FRIENDLY Krita Tutorial I've found so far. Thank

[alinaham]

I just started working with krita. This is going to help me alot. Thank you!!

[robinpie]

For some reason I have no motivation to draw and I’m really sad but I’m watching your videos for motivation

[sarajoralemon]

I’m still very new to art in the grand scheme of things (still just under a year!) and I use krita- clicked on this to see how much I’m missing out on and was so heartwarmed to see so many things I do incorporated into the list. Makes me feel good- I’m actually on the right path. ❤️ the painting was gorgeous, by the way!

[DR-INSANE]

Recently got into digital art myself and this video was very helpful. The tags and the brushes you used really did help me. Thankyou so much! :D

[denyz]

"1st step is to start with really rough sketch" me like wHat?!

[kristychow]

So glad you’re back! I missed you and your art! 💕

[Cathrinite]

This is by far the most important video I've ever seen in my life, thank you so much!
