that moment when you start binge watching krita tutorials instead of studying
Oh lord, I think we've all come to this...
I mean, you ARE studying :^)
My Finals are in 2 months and I have done nothing
Truth
Lol
This video is insanely useful. As a beginner, I was completely lost, when it came to digital shading, because I couldn't find a single tutorial covering EXACTLY this topic in a way that a noob like me would understand it. Every UA-camr is just saying: "You should set this layer to multiply." and I'm sitting there like: "Why? What does it do? Stop assuming that I know stuff! This is a tutorial, for crying out loud." Thanks a lot. This channel is awesome. Keep up the good work. I hope you'll become big here.
Thank you kindly for your message! That's exactly what I'm trying to do it GDquest, to offer more than step-by-step guides. You can check out ctrlpaint.com for more tutorials in the same style.
GDquest will become big at some point. It's getting there slowly, especially as it's dedicated to open source programs (Krita is not well-known yet), but I'm in it for the long run, hopefully.
Vitali Sacharenko i can relate to this. I did only traditional art so far and i decided to start digital too, but shading/blending i couldnt figure out how to do. This has been a greaaat help! Thanks a lot!
I swear you are the only Krita tutorial person that goes into such detail over specific features, and I love it! Thank you for another educational video, you've taught me so much more than my college.
That's good to hear. Thanks Monica!
No thank you
Totally and I hope it gets people to use Krita ! I'm so tired of the monopoly of Photoshop, especially when it's clearly not an art oriented tool ! It's a jack of all trades (and an extremely good tool for "photoshopping" since it coined the term, but artistically, there are much better tools, and I hope Krita has a long life)
college sucks,
@DevilBlackDeath very true...krita is the goat on art workspace on windows...idc what anyone says
Modes:
1:59 Multiply - Darkens existing color by multiplying it with selected color (useful for shadows & adding colors to grayscale)
3:00 Screen - Opposite of Multiply. Lightens existing color while pulling it towards selected color.
3:43 Lighten - Only paints in areas darker than selected color(?)
4:31 Darken - Only paints in areas lighter than selected color(?)
4:52 Overlay - Basically combo of multiply & screen + adds contrast to existing color
6:05 Color Dodge - Useful for addding contrast. Like Overlay, but will only brighten colors (& add a lil tint of foreground color)
6:53 Color - Replaces hue & saturation of color on canvas with foreground color, but keeps initial luminosity. Creates shade range, unlike normal brush
Tips:
8:02 Keyboard shortcuts
9:14 Blending modes in toolbar VS in Layers docker
10:05 Blending modes & brush presets
10:32 Color smudge brush & blending mode
(selected color = color picked in color picker)
Please correct me if i misunderstood one of these. I just wanted to make a quick timestamp guide to what was in the video for when i will inevitably need it next time i try using these modes.
Hi, i have a question, so i tried using the multiply in the like in the video over the circles but unlike in the video, after i choose Multiply the airbrush seems to still color all over outside of the circle. Like in the video it just went inside the circle but doesnt do the same for me??
@@jekesan4221 you have to use alpha lock for it!
@@jekesan4221 To get it to work like in the video select the checker board right next to the lowercase a and the padlock on the layer your currently working on and once u turn on it it will appear opaque and have a lock on it, then u can only color on already made pixels. (I don't think it works on the default "background" layer)
@floisnotonthego2538 thank you for making this!!
@@Froszyywrong. He is alpha locking the brush itself. But I'm sure alpha locking the layer would achieve the same effect
That moment when you realize that you can just use multiply to shade with the whole time instead of just shading over with a darker color.
Why use multiply when there's overlay?
@@KarmaGrass Being an artist is so confusing. Lol.
@@SnowyGreenHatMustache well they both do essentially the same thing. But I guess it makes it easier
@@KarmaGrass with overlay if you're using a lighter color than the color in the normal layer you'll be making things lighter. But if you use darker color only then it will get darker. But in multiply no matter what value you pic the layer underneath will not matter, it will just keep getting darker as you paint over it.
God, I've been doing digital illustrations for a decade now and I did NOT know about some of the things you mentioned here! Thanks!
Very informative video not only for Krita but also for Blender, Gimp Photoshop etc. since they all use mostly the same blending modes.
agreed, I've never seen such an in depth tutorial about the different modes and its going to help me a ton! Not just in Krita
I must say I've been working on Krita for like 10 years and always used the blending modes at random just testing stuff, but it always seemed like "the obscure thing that only smart people know the specifics of" and i didnt expect to understand much of this tutorial but it was actually so clear I was mind blown... this is gonna help me improve my use of digital softwares SO MUCH really im so thankful for this video
Thank you! I've been trying to find something like this for ages! It's so hard to find a tutorial that actually explains what all these modes do, and why. This is perfect!
Thank you so much! Really well explained! I installed Krita not long time ago and I had a lot of issues especially with blending modes and layer types, now I understand how they work and I'm ready to start practicing and experimenting!
This was perfect and what I needed. Thank you!
Best articulation in any tutorial EVER. I can actually comprehend what you are saying because you spoke so clearly and concisely and your technical demonstrations are perfect. Many thanks, you make great videos that people can understand!
VERY informative, thank you so much for making this video. I've always heard of the magical multiply and color dodge tools, but I never knew how to use them. Knowing about these made my art quality go up by like, at least 20% on my latest piece.
One of the best beginner tutorials on this I've seen... Really appreciate it :)
Thank you so much! I'll need to practice this, it's what I've been trying to do all weekend! Thank you for this tutorial!
I've tried to learn this stuff through other tutorials, but this one finally makes it clear. Thank you.
Thanks glad that I found your video even tho it's a year old it still helped me to find what I needed. Good job making a tutorial that didn't go obsolete after updates 👍
Useful! I never knew what the blending modes were for. I used a couple of them, unsure of whether that was what I really wanted. Thanks for the tutorial!
Thanks a lot for the video! I’m just learning digital drawing and I watched your video several times while experimenting with the different tools.
I've been looking for a video like this for ages!
Love that you also included shortcuts for this.
This has been the most helpful tutorial on this subject thank you so much
This was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for making this
Thanks! I've been doing things the hard way since I didn't know what any of the options did. This helps a lot.
This is amazing! Just what I was looking for!
Man tNice tutorials is on of the best tutorial in general on youtube. Clear, simple, constant, good to listen. Thank you for sharing.
Oh my goddd, THANK YOU SO MUCH ;-; I was so lost as to what to use, and how to use but you explained it sooo well
Keep up the great work :D
This has given me so much MORE information than so many others on UA-cam... THANK YOU SO MUCH!! D'X
Thank you for the simple and clear explanations!
I'll been looking for this sort of tutorial on blending mode I'm krita...God bless for this 🙏🏽 🙌🏿
this is so helpful! im starting digital painting and blending modes just confuse the heck out of me. thank you so much for this!
this is the best video on blending modes. thank you
Your channel is about to be the only reason I try Krita. Seriously there is almost no freaking tutorials on it. I usually use Gimp but wanted to try out something else for abit.
OMG i have been sitting here for hours trying to figure out how to blend, before I realised I was using the wrong brush. Thanks a lot, this really helped me.
whats the brush he's using?
You are an excellent instructor. I will stick with you.
Watching this in 2021 and im learning so much. Thank you for the tutorial!
Thank you . Your videos motivates me
I love this video!!! Thank you so much for the explanations!!!
Merci énormément pour ce tutoriel, je viens à peine de débuter, et ça m'a été très utile!
Very informative and very useful! Thank you!
Would you consider turning on community transcriptions for your videos? That would allow your viewers to add captions to your videos, which makes it easier for deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers, as well as viewers who would otherwise have a hard time understanding spoken English (such as me), to understand what you're saying. UA-cam's automatic captions are barely intelligible, which makes tutorials like these hard to follow. You'd be able to approve captions before they're added to make sure they're actually relevant, and, if you encourage your viewers to participate, it could make a big difference for those of us who are looking for information, but can't hear what's being said.
They should already be turned on on every video, I set that a while ago. Some people already contributed captions as well.
I’ve contributed English captions, they need to be reviewed though.
Thank you so much for this ! 🙌🏻
this was soooo useful! thank you!
Amazing explanation, thanks a lot for this
this is so informative, youre a godsend
I found this video today and thanks a lot man .new sub
Most useful viseo for blending modes ty!
Great explanation. Thank you.
THANK YOU! I could never figure out what exactly all those modes were for. I see them in plenty of other programs such as photoshop, but I couldn't really figure out what to do with them. I felt like I was missing out on a huge advantage these programs provide
Thank you really much for that video. I just got my tablet yesterday and I'm trying to figure it out :)
You're welcome :)
proper tutorial, all the info needed was there, not like some other tutorials that are just like "do this", yet you told me WHY I should "do this" which is what more tutorials need to focus on. most tutorials just leave me more confused
You helped me so much thx!
Between you and David Revoy, I'm starting to get ads in French. I never thought Krita tutorial artists would be what finally make me learn French (which is wild because you both speak in English for your videos).
This is awesome!
TYSMMM THIS WAS SO HELPFUL
THANK YOU OMG my art is a million times better now!
I found gold, thank you so much!
mate good work!, this video was so usefull to me, you just gained a subscriber!.
Thanks a lot!
I actually work in indie gam e ocmpany in krita, so this is really useful, thank you
Thank you so much!
Very useful. Thx.
Nice lesson bro thanks
thankyou sensei!
very cool video!
Instant like, exatcly what I was looking for xD
Thank you so much
This tutorial was so helpful. Thank you so muchhh! All the other tutorials are like " Choose Multiply layer"
And I am like "How to do it, where's the option? What are you even selecting"
Thank you so much. This tutorial was so helpful. I started using Krita today and this helped me a lot.
But could you tell me the name of the 1st brush that you used in this tutorial. Couldn't figure it out.
Thanks!
awesome tips friend, you made me subscribed looking forward to learn from you and is true what they say, that you go in details on how to use tools in Krita. I'm new to Krita and I love it.
I'm glad that this could help :-)
GDquest thanks for replying back. And is really helpful 😄😄😊😆
This was extraordinarily helpful! Thanks, and God bless you!
That multiply thing... is fantastic!
And the more you play with blending modes, the more fantastic it gets ;) !
Man, u are awasome!
That makes 2 awesome guys with you, isn't it ? :)
thank you so much i feel so so stupid like I DID NOT KNOW 70% of things you said in this video this is hella helpful thank you so much holy shucks
Can we get a 2020 update since krita is a bit changed? ;-; Thank you!
This helps alot
What I am trying to get is this:
I followed a tutorial from Aaron Blaise who uses photoshop's multiply and overlay to add shading and highlight respectively (layer options that are defined identically in both photoshop and Krita) and he uses a light blue with multiply to shade and a light yellow with overlay to highlight.
I am trying this with a picture I drew of a young girl in a fox outfit and the shading is turning yellow on the orange suit and fuchsia on the tan face, while the highlights are giving equally aweful results... What am I doing wrong?
thankkk you so much
I've got a question for you about the third brush from the end to beginning: the one with a lot of orange
Ive just started digital art yesterday but Im writing down everything your saying on my notes so I'll never forget. I had to pause it every 5 seconds just so Im up to speed. For now blending is extremely confusing to me and I might need months to understand it.
good understanding.
good videos, thx :)
Thank you
very helpful thx
Thank you :)
thank you
OMFG! HERE I WAS THINKING THAT KRITA HAD NO BLENDING MODES AND I HAD TO DO IT MYSELF USING MY PRESSURE SENSITIVE DRAWING TABLET!!! SLIGHTLY TRIGGERED!! gr8 vid tho m8 7.3/10 too much water
I've used reliably some of the blending modes, but knowing about how they work and many more is truly a great help. Again, thanks for the well explained tutorial! Can't wait to put the things into practice.
Anyhow, just a quick question, since you seem to be more familiar with Krita updates than the people I know. I currently updated to 3.0.1, but the Stabilizer tool is now working very bad, and switching size of the brush with Shift is also clunky. Do you know if there's a fix or a workaround? Thanks in advance!
Mh, the stabilizer looks slow in this release, that's definitely something the devs will fix in next version. Switch to Weighted smoothing in the meantime. Also yes, the Shift drag shortcut is slow now, and if I recall correctly, it's linked to the new brush HUD. Will most likely be fixed in next version.
Mhh... Guessed as much. But yes, I've been using to Weighted meanwhile. Not doing great for longer strokes nor small fills, but it certainly is better than relying on poor pulse. Ah well, thanks once again, and I'm looking forward to the next update of the brush pack! They're fantastic!
Thank you! The new brush presets are coming this week.
Thank you for starting talking math and reminding me that I failed my math class
I love you.
wow hahaha nice video now i'm starting to learn digital art!!
hey its been 4 years. how did it go?
How did you make it so you would only color in the layer you want without the shade getting outside ? Thank you for the video btw!
As Lusus Saule said below: "A very useful tutorial, but it would have saved a lot of time if you explained from the outset that Preserve Alpha needs to be checked off for the blending modes to work as you show here."
whats the name of that drop down menu toolbar becouse ive tried to find it in by using that name but its not there. i have the 3.1.3 alpha 2
What is this last brush that you showed?
Hello I'm enjoying learning from your videos. My question is how do I get my tools pallets set up the way you have it on screen? I like the way your Krita is set up. I downloaded the software but it looks different I'm assuming its in default. Thank you.
never mind I just found the preset named Big_Paint2. thanks anyway. great series.
I'm using Polish version of Krita and shortcuts work a bit different. For example, there's 4 blending modes starting with the letter O. By using Shift+Alt+O combination I go to one of them, and by pressing it again it moves to another blending mode also starting with the letter O.
Funny thing is that it does not always work (but most of the time it does) and "shift+alt+something" combination can't be even seen in the settings! :D
It seems like it's automated - it doesn't always work. Sometimes, in a context menu, the same letter will be underlined twice, and if there's a submenu in there, you won't be able to call the second entry with that shortcut.
The shift alt shortcuts are in the keyboard shortcuts. Just search for blending mode or something like that to find the complete list. (At least here it's available)
Thanks!
You're welcome!
what blend brush were you using, i could only find ones that were wet
hi, where can I get those brushes. the link is broken or down. thanks a lot
OH so that is how people make nice looking shadows so fast on stuff in drawing videos i have been picking my brush then lowing the opacity then shading this sounds a lot faster and better looking but umm is multiply or overlay better for soft shadows?
hi! how do you shade them without overlapping? in the intro the color overlaps the object, but in the next one it didnt
You taught me more than entire four years of high school in graphic major.
