LEARNING TO USE KRITA: HOW TO SKETCH AND COLOR

Today we are going to create a sketch and color it. I did not want to overwhelm you with something complicated. So, I created an easy and cute baby bulldog. I hope you will try to draw it along with me. Just slow down the video if you decide to do so. *** Royalty-free music tracks and sound effects are from AUDIO HERO.***🎵🎶 DON’T HAVE THE BRUSHES I USED HERE? This is where to get them: I downloaded the Krita Brushkit v8.2 and then chose the Painterly Mix Brushes. We are going to cover many things today... See the summary and the timestamps below: SUMMARY (tools and techniques that will be used in this video): a) The brush we will use to create the sketch is called “Fill_circle”. b) Set its size to 15 pixels. c) Use the F2 key on your keyboard to rename your layers. d) In order to create a perfectly symmetrical sketch, we will use the “Horizontal mirror tool”. e) To Color our cartoon character, we will convert the “SKETCH” layer to a “Colorize Mask”. f) From the toolbox, we will select the “Colorize Mask Editing” tool. g) To fill the sketch with colors, we will choose a brush from the “Digital” tag called the “Pixel_Art_Fill”.
