For the liqufiy, I also thought that was the liqufiy, but it's actually a brush with blue arrows. Also right click to get a circle that contains your brush, you can make a tag for your fav brush instead of scrolling and finding it. If you go to window, workspace, you can save the workspace you changed, and you can also enter the animation workspace, it's actually really good once you take the time to dig deeper. Amazing drawing btw.

Hi, Krita user here :)
For the smudge tools there are a couple but I personally use Blender Blur and Blender Basic under 'Digital' <3
(also, your art style is amazing🥺)

[KOKOROSUKI_SPEEDCORE]

As someone who often uses Krita there are similar effects to add glow but in this case you need to duplicate the highlight layer
Bottom highlight with Color of choice: Color Burn
Top highlight: Addition or Screen

Been using krita for around 2 years now, and it's the only program that I actually enjoy using (I would love to test out more programs, but most are expensive and im broke). But its cool to see more people finding out about it, because for a free program its honestly amazing!

[gummywasp]

I use Krita all the time. Once you get used to it, it gets easier and easier.
If you can't find the smudge tool, it looks like a Q-tip

[Lilipad]

There is actually a smudge tool in Krita (8, actually) but they're called "blenders" (with the exception of the water color one, "WaterC Water-Pattern)

[imkuelllgremlin]

You can customize your layout however you like using the dockers under settings. and can save it in the workspace (either the weird box thing in the top left, or under window)
And when it comes to layer effects, there is a huge drop down menu, the ones at the top are the favorited ones, (it borrows effects from Sai and photoshop) and under the lighten drop down there is the Luminosity/shine (SAI) layer effect, that's the best one for the lighting and most like the ones people use in other programs.
hope this helps

If you didn't know a shortcut for rotating canvas, it's the number 2 - 6 and you can use M to flip the canvas horizontally =D

ai art prompt: ocean princess warrior riding a seahorse through the waves surrounded by sea creatures

as for krita tips, you can alter your workspace based on the tools you use the most, there's also a workspace for animation if ur interested! you can also add filters to individual layers which really helped me with the visuals of my own drawings, also if ur working with an imported lineart/sketch with a white background, you can remove it by selecting the layer, going to filters > color > color to alpha. hope this helps! :D

I'm totally addicted to your english it sounds so cute

[spicymcpie]

for the location of the tools on your workspace, it's really easy to move them around until you find a setup you like. You just click and drag the tool window you want to move.
And there are smudge tools, but they all kinda suck so...

I've used krita and it's pretty good but the colors kept darkening on the last pc I used. It doesn't happen now though :) although I do prefer sketchbook autodesk over krita it cost money now and my best option now is krita. The blending tools are excellent and the brush selection is very wide! I love the way the airbrush tool looks too. It's very hard to find an airbrush tool that actually looks good in a free program. Fire alpaca was my go to for a while until I saw the airbrush on krita and then I saw the blending tools and switched over. For mobile I think sketchdesk is the best free app though, it cost money on pc but not on mobile and it has excellent brush selection too! The blending tool isn't as good as kritas though but the airbrush is!

As a teenager who cannot afford digital apps for drawing, Kirita was the best solution for that problem. It simple, easy to use.
AI art prompt: fishes in the moonlight.

wow your artstyle is beautiful D: <3 I also tried Krita some time ago but gave up because my computer was super slow while working on it and there's so many brushes! Maybe I'll re-try it once I get a better computer.
For AI art what about "male protagonist with sword looking at the distance" it's kind of generic but I believe would be perfect to see how generic AI can be or how creative an artist can be since there's not much details about it an artist can use it for an advantage while the AI has to work with what it has.

krita ueser ]
lliqify is a brush ( i saw someone elce comment it so i see you know that already ) but all smuge prushes are white and blue, as for the hot keys you can change it BUT the deselect by clicking off of the area as for the Add glow its just called glow in krita

[annemeownie]

As someone who's new to Krita ngl its a bit wonky especially if you're used to the layout in Medibang paint. But so far I can say that the art program is convenient & is such a godsend for artists who don't want/can't pay for paid drawing programs.

Also for a prompt(if this is still ongoing) I guess I imagine a wolf forest spirit watching as a castle/kingdom in the forest burns down

[Acornion.doodles]

I love Krita! Its my go to program (: I just found your channel and look forward to more! For a prompt, how about a cozy tortoise!

I'm so happy this video came up on my recommendations! I love your art style! A prompt I can think of is a mermaid seeing the stars for the first time. It's not much of an interesting prompt but i'd love to see how it would look like in your in style and if ai can express it well! another one i can think of is a dinosaur stargazing!!

[Dulco]

A prompt for IA would be a character whatever woman or man coming out of the water putting his hair behind with hands like finger comb idk and lotus all over the water
