You have to _actually draw something_ in the canvas for the lightbulb to appear :)

I've been dying to find someone to explain Krita for ages because I really want to get into digital art and in particular animations and your tutorials are SO HELPFUL THANK YOU. I hope you can continue making more Krita tutorials, and if possible how to colour in drawings? But thank you so much for the content you've already made~!

I recently got Krita and I didn't even know this was a feature. Thanks for uploading!

The only video that showed my wife how to QUICKLY get started with timeline layers and using Onion Skin views of Keyframes ! (without diving into complexities of the other parts of the program) and we spent hours watching others, even kdsketch's that didn't easily explain this as well as you did !

After watching many of these recently, you kind of just showed us your own quick project instead of telling people what does what and such, still tho nice showing how you can use previous frames and reuse them

[crunchycres]

Well, I know I'm very late. That's because I started with digital art last week. I got into it really well and now I want to animate a bit. Your tutorials really helps me out!
But I don't know how I can get the other (the last) frames transparend when I am drawing another frame, because I don't get this whole light bulb thing... I don't know how to explain this in a good way, but I hope you can understand what I mean. My english is not the best, because I'm german and was never really into english😅.

okay- i have been wanting to get into animation and i have watched 3 videos(not including this one) on how to animate on krita and this explained it way better than the others. Thank you.

I am finally going to try Krita after almost a year of waiting...I actually came to Krita after reading blog posts about photo editing and graphic design. And found myself very interesting because of the graphics and animation tools together in a single software.


I am not able to get photoshop for vector and animation both in one place. Here Krita allows me to do so...Well, your video is the second animation on Krita video so it is very helpful to me...because new users really needs some very easy tutorial ...thanks for this video.
