Key takeaways
Summary (Krita tutorial: technological concepts + features)
1) Krita overview + downloading/installing
- Krita is a free 2D drawing application available for Windows, macOS, and Linux (and mentions an Android/tablet version for tablets, not phones).
- Tablet note: the UI is better with a keyboard; tablet UI support may be limited but could improve later.
- Download/install:
- Mentions downloading Krita stable ~5.2 / 5.3.
- Installing the downloaded EXE package includes choosing an install folder.
- Motivation for using 5.3: features discussed may not exist in 5.2, so no separate tutorial is needed.
2) UI customization (themes + scaling)
- Change theme via: Settings → Themes
- Example themes: Breeze High Contrast, dark/orange themes.
- If the UI is too small:
- Settings → Configure Krita → Window → increase font size (example: 14).
- Canvas UI toggle:
- Press Tab to switch to canvas-only mode (hide UI)
- Press Tab again to restore UI.
3) Canvas/document setup & navigation
- Create a new document: Ctrl + N
- Set dimensions and resolution/DPI
- Presets include A4 or 4K film.
- Navigate canvas:
- Pan: hold Space + left-drag, or use middle mouse drag
- Zoom:
- Space + Ctrl + left-drag (zoom in/out), or
- Ctrl + middle wheel/drag
- View zoom tools also support box zoom
- Reset zoom to full canvas: press 2
- Rotate canvas:
- Space + Shift + left-drag, or Shift + middle click
- Rotation shortcuts:
- 5 = reset to 0°
- 4/6 = rotate left/right by 15°
- Rotation shortcuts can be customized in shortcut settings (example mentioned: Ctrl+Enter shortcut command).
4) Tool shortcuts and the “Krita command search” (Ctrl+Enter)
- Ctrl + Enter opens the Krita command palette / “pet command” to search for actions/tools (e.g., blur/filter commands).
- Add/customize tool shortcuts:
- Settings → Configure Krita → Keyboard Shortcuts
- Example: the pen tool initially has no shortcut; they attempt H but use Shift + H because H is taken.
5) Brush selection, presets UI, and rendering workflow helpers
- Draw with:
- Pen tool (example shortcut: Shift + H)
- Brush shortcut: B
- Brush presets:
- Open presets box: F6
- Scroll/search among brushes.
- Brush size:
- Use the size slider, or Shift + click-drag
- Brush settings:
- Open pressure/brush dynamics: F5
- Includes options like pressure curve
- Save/override presets or save as a new preset.
6) Undo/redo and eraser workflow
- Delete strokes:
- Delete clears the selected layer’s content
- E switches the brush into eraser mode
- Undo/redo:
- Ctrl + Z undo
- Ctrl + Shift + Z redo
7) Transforming artwork (Ctrl+T + selections)
- Transform tool: Ctrl + T
- Move/resize via bounding box handles
- Shift keeps proportions
- Alt transforms from the center
- Enter confirms transform
- Rotation/tilt controls depend on cursor position.
- Requirement: transforming typically needs a selection.
- Selection tools:
- Rectangle selection: Ctrl + R
- Freehand selection recommended for precision
- Remove selection:
- Newer UI action bar supports selection removal
- Shortcut mentioned: Ctrl + Shift + A
8) Layers: sketch → line art → color (alpha, opacity, naming)
- Save: Ctrl + S
- Hide layers:
- Use the eye-like icon to toggle visibility.
- Create layers:
- Use the plus button in the Layers docker
- Rename layers using double click or F2
- Adjust opacity for sketch transparency.
- Workflow:
- When sketch is done:
- Add a new layer above the sketch
- Draw line art
- Hide the sketch layer.
- When sketch is done:
9) Coloring with F-bucket: reference layers, close gaps, grow, threshold
- Coloring approach:
- Use a separate color layer as needed (above or below line art)
- Use F-bucket (shortcut F) for fill.
- Key F-bucket options:
- Reference settings:
- If reference is limited to the current layer, the bucket may not detect line-art boundaries.
- Set reference to include all layers so it uses line art as boundaries.
- Close gap:
- Mentioned as a Krita 5.3+ feature
- Auto-fills small gaps up to a given pixel width (example: 10px).
- Grow:
- Expands fill by N pixels to avoid color leakage through edge gaps (example: 1px).
- Threshold:
- Controls sensitivity for boundary detection
- Lower threshold makes colors (e.g., white) more likely to be considered different from surrounding pixels.
- Reference settings:
10) Alpha Lock (alpha inheritance-like layer behavior)
- Alpha Lock (subtitle mentions “alpal/alpha”):
- When enabled, drawing affects only existing pixels on that layer.
- Fast fill:
- Shift + Backspace fills the entire layer’s alpha contents with the chosen color.
11) Selections for hard-to-fill regions (freehand selection shortcuts)
- If bucket fill can’t handle large gaps:
- Use freehand selection tool
- They suggest assigning a custom shortcut (example: bind it to S).
- Selection combination controls:
- Shift adds to selection
- Alt subtracts from selection
- Then fill the selection with the bucket.
12) Drawing straight lines
- Straight-line helper:
- Hold V while drawing with a brush/line behavior to lock to a straight line.
- Shift constrains direction (e.g., left/right or up/down, also snapping to angles like ~45°).
- After drawing, they manually clean up using eraser.
13) Lighting/shadows using separate layers + “clipping mask” via grouping + inherit alpha
- Lighting is added on a new layer above base colors.
- Krita-specific method described:
- Create a group layer and place base color + lighting within the same group
- Enable alpha inheritance on the lighting layer so lighting respects pixels from layers below as boundaries.
- Shortcut mentioned:
- Ctrl + Shift + G to automate group + new layer + alpha inheritance setup.
14) Blending modes (hard overlay, multiply/divide, behind, lighten/darken)
- Layer blending modes are set via the layer mode dropdown.
- Example mode: Hard Overlay
- Depends on the brush color relative to 50% gray
- Helps draw shadow/highlight on the same lighting layer.
- Brush blending mode (“mix behind”):
- Behind mode fills only in “holes”/transparent gaps not yet painted.
- Mentions shortcuts like:
- Multiply: Alt + Shift + M
- Color Dodge: Shift + D
- Notes that “behind” has its own mode/shortcut as well.
- To target shadow/highlight within a combined lighting layer:
- Use brush blend modes Lighten/Darken so only relevant parts are affected based on brush color.
15) Color management preview (soft proofing / grayscale view)
- Use:
- Settings → Configure Krita → Color Management → Softproofing
- Set to grayscale
- Toggle grayscale view:
- Ctrl + Y
16) References, color history, and popup palette productivity
- Popup color/brush palette:
- Right-click the canvas with the brush tool to open a palette with:
- quick brush switching via tags
- quick color picking/history
- other canvas/rotation actions.
- Right-click the canvas with the brush tool to open a palette with:
- Brush tagging:
- Assign brushes to favorites
- Filter popup palette to show favorites only.
- Popup palette settings:
- Increase displayed preset count via:
- Settings → Configure Krita → Popup palette → change preset number
- Increase displayed preset count via:
- Color history behavior:
- Ordering may differ from “newest-first”
- Tutorial notes changing color history behavior through popup palette settings.
17) Reference images tool
- Add reference images using the Reference Images docker/tool.
- Add from file, resize, and move outside the canvas.
- Paste a reference:
- With the tool active, use Ctrl + V to paste from clipboard.
- Mentions related color management/setting choices when pasting (example: simplified option like sRGB/USW-style in subtitles).
18) Faster layer selection + grouping and batch adjustments
- Select layers by content/raster property:
- Hold R then click to select the layer containing that feature (example: rim light).
- Multi-select layers:
- Shift + click to accumulate layers while in selection mode.
- Group layers:
- Ctrl + G
- Global adjustments:
- Ctrl + U for Hue/Saturation/Lightness
- Ctrl + M for Curves
- Filters via Filter menu or search (example: search “blur”).
- Merge/export workflow:
- Ctrl + E merges selected layers
- Ctrl + Shift + E merges automatically
- If concerned, duplicate the document:
- File → Copy from current image
- Export:
- Save as PNG (also mentions JPG/KRA formats).
Main speakers / sources
- No specific named speaker is provided in the subtitles (appears to be a tutorial creator / Krita instructor).
- Primary source: Krita (versions 5.2–5.3+) and its built-in features/settings.
