Perspective grids for comics in Krita

I'm sharing my perspective grids (CC-0/Public Domain) and show how to use them in Krita: it's a set of PNGs I drag'n'drop over the canvas. I hope they'll be useful for you!.

I hope a future version of Krita will allow you to draw off canvas like photoshop, so I can easily create my own grids on demand in the program. For my last art piece, I used Toon Boom Harmony to make my grid, then imported it into krita to paint my artwork.

Thank you for making this, David! What perfect timing, I'm making my own webcomic using Krita, today I finished watching your "Comic Page from A to Z" and downloaded the perspective star you linked there. That was really nice because I really really need help with perspective, I struggle with that. And then I saw you made these! Can't wait to use them for my comics. Thank you very much!

The resources are great! But I'd also highly suggest people try the built-in assistants and see if they work for them. They have a feature which would work well with your technique of sketching boxes, in which you can use the attached "arms" on an assistant to align them to an object already in perspective (like a box) and the program will automatically align the point to where it should be. Also, in Krita 5.0 (in beta as of Sept 2021), they seem to have added a feature to mask perspective assistants to certain areas of the screen for use in comics.



Love your style of illustration! Detailed and atmospheric, but things are still very clean, vibrant, and readable. I'm in awe off how much you've produced and the quality of it.

Daviiidd~~ I want to thank you for making these Krita videos! You are the solid rolemodel that i have for any artist who use Krita. You helped me transition from a very old version of Paint Tool Sai, to Krita! xD and i'm loving it~ of course i'm still quite slow at it with the new UI but so far the experience have been pleasant <3 i hope one day you'd cover about Gradient Map? because when i used it, i got real confused.
