can youhelp me my i have a drawing tablet and a screen but it goes to the other monitor when i put my pen on the tablet when i just want the pen to draw on the tablet
Hey if you haven't gotten this figured out yet, check our Discord discord.gg/wingedcanvas and I'm sure someone in our server can lend you a hand.@@awttygaming2510
for those on minute 5:19, if you are adding the fill and wondering why it is not working, you have to go to your tool settings and change in reference from the first botton on the left to the middle one, it says "obtain the region using a merged copy of all the layers" , and you can fill in to your hearts content! and don't worry if when adding the dots it shows that you are coloring over the black lines, when you do that weird button(I forget the name) it takes care of that.
plus to those people on minute 5:23 who couldn't fill the shape well, having noticeable sharp white edges between the black and the red fill. Just turn on anti-aliasing in the adjustments in the tool options as well.
My first ever digital drawing tablet gets here tomorrow, and I’m SO EXCITED to start digital art. I’ve studied so much and learned about animation, and this is my final choice for the app I’m gonna use. It’s been years since I’ve started drawing and I’ve started with the hope of starting and creating digital stories and art, I’m so happy. I’m already planning out my very first video, although it may be a rocky road I’m happy to finally be able to wander along it.
Thank you so much for posting! I’ve been using Krita for about a year now, but I knew there were still some functions and tricks I wasn’t aware of. Now I finally know about the inherit alpha clipping and the HSV color adjustment! I can’t wait to apply this to my drawings now :D
@@tanhuang_nua I’ve been spotted holy moly Hello fellow Elesk-community member! I hope the new year has been going well for you, and if not, I sincerely hope it gets better. :D
@@Quiscala Thank you, it's so kind of you! And I hope for the same for you! 💫 I've decided to try a few new things this year, hence I'm here learning about digital drawing lol
Does anyone else's fill tool act wacky and just ignore the lines on other layers? When I use it, it just fills the whole canvas on the layer unless I have lines on the same layer. I'm using an early access version of krita on mobile so that may be the problem. But if it happens to anyone else who's using a computer, let me know if you've figured out how to stop it from doing this! :) Edit: Y'all someone in the replies posted the solution! :) if you need it, take a look
@@riricaroo tool options docker. if you can't see it click "settings" at the top of the program, then go to "dockers" and make sure "tool options" is on
This video was very helpful thank you! Trying to draw digitally for the first time is very overwhelming and before watching this I didn’t know where to start
I just switched from FireAlpaca to Krita for a less pixelated canvas, and all the new tools were a little overwhelming x3 Thank you for the tutorial ^_^ Loved the silly little drawing :D
When I filled the paint layer, it filled the whole layer not the lineart. How can I fill the paint layer with only clicking on a certain area of a lineart?
Im new to using Krita. So as a beginner, this is a very helpful tutorial! One thing I'm having a hard time figuring out is flipping the canvas horizontally and finding the tool bar thing (I tried pressing \ on the keyboard). I've only done digital art on my phone with ibisPaint x so I'm not used to Krita's set up 😅
Speed doesn't matter when the information is there. Slow the vid down. All software is designed the same. No software teaches you how to use it unless it's garbage
Same, I paused it and rewound the video too many times and got lost. Lots of great info here but for someone who has never used it before I'm going to come back after and I get more familiar with it.
Thank you SO MUCH for this video. Especially the part showing the "eraser mode", I'm trying to learn Krita with my daughter, and I know that would have driven us crazy if you didn't point it out.
Glad it was helpful! Digital art can definitely be confusing, we have a bunch more videos to help you learn though! What do you seem to struggle with most?
I'm following along and enjoying this video. For a couple of hours though, I had trouble using a paint layer to full in the lines of the line art layer. I didn't realize the fill tool needed to be set to "fill regions found from the merging of all layers". I figured it out and am back on track.
Wow- This is so helpful!!! I've been wanting to try Krita, but it seemed really overwhelming compared to my normal programs. (Medibang / FireAlpaca...) This has really helped me out a lot and I look forward to trying Krita again! Thanks!! :)
Hello, I have a problem, my tablet is working fine and the cursor works fine when I do not touch the pen to the tablet, but when I try to draw a line by touching the pen to the tablet, it freezes. Do you have any suggestions? (I did not experience freezing problems in other applications I tried, so I do not think there is a problem with my tablet)
Hello! Sorry to hear about the trouble with your tablet. Here are a few things you can try: - Update Drivers: Make sure your tablet drivers are up to date; this can often solve compatibility issues. - Check Software Settings: Review the settings in your drawing software, as there may be options specifically for tablet input. - Disable Windows Ink: If you're using Windows, try disabling Windows Ink, as it can sometimes cause conflicts with certain programs. - Test in Another Drawing App: Even though other apps are fine, testing with another drawing application might help identify if it's a software-specific issue. - Reinstall the Software: Reinstalling the drawing program can sometimes fix hidden issues. Hope this helps, and happy creating! - Winged Canvas 🎨
Just downloaded Krita, Im fully on traditional art side but have been thinking it may be fun to do some digital art. Though I dont like the idea that my art will just be shapes pasted on a screen.... but Ive had issues with doing things COMPLETLEY myself this since I can rmember..
Wow...I can't imagine how long it took you to develop this kind of expertise with Krita. Thanks for sharing.. I just wish you moved your cursor a bit more slowly or narrated more fully some of the functions you were selecting. i'll watch again at 0.75 speed and perhaps get more out of it. pretty sure "beginners" such as myself are bewildered by the speed with which you made selections to implement Krita functions!
Same, can't imagine either. I've been using Krita for a couple years but I barely made anything good with it, this tutorial really helped me redefine how I should view learning, I really regret rushing and insisting on self-taught lol. I'm definitely bookmarking this video if I ever want a guide or refresher
This is totally helpful as a beginner I like this tutorial although for beginner I feel too much info for me to absorb all but wish me luck I really want to master digital drawing skills
Thanks. Great lesson! I studied a couple classes in beginner Photoshop, & it really helped in understanding how Krita works. This video is helping me to know how to jump right in to start using Krita, as my preferred program at this time. Please do a Part II, & go into greater depth how to use Krita, including some of the items quickly mentioned in this video! Love wins. Blessings to all fellow artists.
This is a very good tutorial this is exactly what I wanted for "first steps" of note I am using 5.2 and the fill you need to select some tool options to get the same behavior as this tutorial, namely "obtain region from merged layers" and the blending mode make sure it is set to Normal, mine defaulted to something else.
I just downloaded Krita and this was very useful for a noob like me getting use to everything! My first step in the digital art world which is both daunting and exciting :)
It's an issue with the standard settings of the fill tool First check if the Docker Tool Options is active. Go into Settings at the top of the screen, then Dockers and then see if Tool options is on. If it's on then on the right side of the screen you will see it somewhere, for me it was very small at the top next to overview. If you have the Fill Tool selected then when you scroll down a bit you may see an option called "Sample", set that to "All Layers" and that should fix it. Be sure to have the sketch hidden otherwise it will take the sketch into account when filling in the space. Others say that the option "Sample" is called "Reference" for them.
Thanks a lot for this. This video was very easy to follow, a few parts confused me but that was Krita and not the video itself. I feel like I've actually learned a lot from this about both Krita and Digital art, which doesn't happen often for me.
I'm definitely only to use this as a reference. I might even play with Krita tomorrow and follow along. This is going to be a huge tool for me, thank you so much
4:55 I'm new to using Krita, and I've been following this tutorial-- as far as I can tell-- perfectly. But when I try to use the fill tool, it fills the whole canvas, not just the area of the mushroom cap. Does anyone know what I did wrong? I made the line art on one layer, made a new paint layer between the line art and the (hidden) sketch, selected the fill tool, and clicked it. The video clearly shows that she has the new layer selected, so how does it only fill within the shape? It was a new layer not a copy, right? (She clicked the plus sign not the duplicate icon.) The layers aren't linked, and she didn't select an area within the image with a select tool. What am I missing?
Okay, I found the issue, in case anyone else is having the same problem. In the Tool Options docker, if you scroll down towards the bottom, there is a section called "Reference" with three selectable icon options. The first one (default) shows three layers, two of which appear grayed out. This one paints based on the active layer only. This is why the fill tool was painting the entire canvas. Instead, select the second one (three white layers). This one paints an area based on all layers. In other words, the painted area will be restricted, even from lines and shapes on other layers. (No more having to select an area in one layer, then switching to a separate layer to paint!)
I don't get it - The alpha tools simply aren't doing anything. Alphalock does nothing, and the clipping does nothing. This happens every time I use them
I downloaded krita for a project for school but it was way too confusing for me so I just used Ms paint, I recently discovered Rita could be used for animation and have gotten into trying to learn how to use it, this has been very helpful
Thank you so much for this vid (and for the helpful commenters!!). I'm trying to move away from Medibang because I'm very tired of the lack of blending options, and Krita has different terms and placements than Medibang so it's pretty jarring and intimidating ;u;
Subbed! I've been using Procreate for the last couple of years, off and on. I've been drawing since I was 2, but I didn't even try to invest in starting digital art until a couple of years ago. I'm unfamiliar with other programs, and it seems so impossible to learn everything! I'm well into my game design degree, too, so I just feel so inexperienced. This video was great for learning some very basic and helpful tips for Krita. I wanted to start learning this program as I just invested in a larger and more advanced drawing display, and I'll have to use Windows with it. It was a little hard to decipher a few words here and there in the video, but I liked that you showed how to change, adjust, and fix mistakes and placements of things. It always seems like borderline witchcraft to me when I've watched people drawing such complex designs and then just adjusting an entire chunk of it! 😂 Thanks for the video. This makes me feel a bit better. I need to start building my portfolio soon, so I want to learn what I can for concept art, modeling, and animation. I need to start small, though. 😊
Hey there! Thank you for sharing your journey with us. It's awesome to hear about your experience with Procreate and your venture into Krita!

Please help! I’m new to digital art and decided to follow your tutorial exactly. When I got to the paint fill part, I did exactly as you said but the entire canvas gets painted red, not just the mushroom part. What do you think I’m doing wrong? Thanks so much for the tutorial!
This has been answered, look through the comments someone who already asked received comprehensive replies, I had the problem too along with many others. Now fixed!
I believe I was having trouble with the eraser tool being selected. Would never have realised! Thanks for also pointing out where the blur tools are. This was handy for showing me some useful things - thanks!
When I color in the line on the shading layer and click the alpha symbol or that weird “a” my colors don’t stay in the line they still cover the black line and it’s like they paint over the black line they won’t stay
The video is very clear and came after watching animation in krita beginners tutorial, winged canvas u guys are doing really grt job , I'm very glad I found this channel. Actually I was looking for a animation course to join but I guess no need now. Thank u so very much ❣️❣️❣️ and be proud of urself 👏 👏 coz u r amazing my fellow art nerd 🥰🥰🥰
We've got a ton of animation content and if you're looking to dive even deeper in we have Animation classes, too -- taught in Krita! We have an animation summer intensive coming up that's going to be a ton of fun! wingedcanvas.com
I literally just downloaded this program yesterday cuz I got tired of sketchbook and one day later YOU made a video about it??? is this a coincidence or is it something more? thanks for the tutorial!
Can you make more like this? Im a visual learner, and Im also new to drawing. This step by step show and tell process really really helped me!! Id love to learn how to draw and paint more just like this! Like little animals or fruits or something simple 😊
Fantastic video. I've just started using Krita and this was a great way to learn some very helpful tools. Only thing is it was very fast. Had to keep rewinding to see where you were clicking or what you were doing. Still great though. Thanks.
Bro just don't give up like that! I too was thinking the same but as I learned the basics it turns out that it's easy to draw! You just need your imagination and feel free to draw anything!
This video was much helpful for me. I'm currently transitioning from gimp to a better drawing software, gimp is more for photo editing, and I was a little lost about the user interface in Krita. Thank you.
Very clear and informative, i like this kind of no time wasting video, btw you have a nice voice with unique asian accent, just speak the way you are and drop the american kids tune.
Ok... I was looking for "how do you flipping clip these layers!?" inherit alpha gave me a headache at first but now it makes a lot more sense. I'm still getting used to the program, lots of stuff to explore and adjust to my liking(specially customizing my own brushes). Thank you for sharing this!
Awesome video. Love your voice. Sounds very chill and relaxed. I already knew this stuff. Except how to get to hue/saturation in the menu lol ..i figured out the shortcut key first.
Thank u so much for this! I just started using krita on my laptop cus I wanted to start drawing on my laptop and mainly have been doing it on the iPad but my iPad is an older generation so it’s not the best 😂 I am excited to give this a try 😂
I have no knowledge on drawing but i really wanted to learn. Last time I draw is like on pencil and paper and they stick figures. hahaha I bought this xp pen deca pro which I have no knowledge using a tablet for drawing either then installed this krita software. I am confused with all this so thank you for shedding light.
Hey there! It sounds like you might be seeing a different user interface in your version of Krita. If you're looking to adjust the UI to match what you see in tutorials, here's how you can customize it: 1. Workspace: - Go to `Settings` > `Dockers` to manage which panels (like layers, brushes, etc.) are visible. - You can drag these panels around to arrange them according to your preference. 2. Theme: - Navigate to `Settings` > `Themes` to change the color scheme of Krita's interface. - Choose from light, dark, or other custom themes available. 3. Toolbars: - To customize toolbars, right-click on any toolbar area. - Here, you can add or remove specific tools you frequently use. If you're still unsure or need more guidance, feel free to check out our video tutorials on Krita (ua-cam.com/users/wingedcanvas) for step-by-step instructions! Happy Krita-ing! - Winged Canvas 🎨
This is a really good tutorial, but my feedback on the music is that it was very distracting. Great explanation about the rubber toggle mode. Thank you so much❤

Can u send me the link of the hour one, I feel like the longer the better
for those on minute 5:19, if you are adding the fill and wondering why it is not working, you have to go to your tool settings and change in reference from the first botton on the left to the middle one, it says "obtain the region using a merged copy of all the layers" , and you can fill in to your hearts content! and don't worry if when adding the dots it shows that you are coloring over the black lines, when you do that weird button(I forget the name) it takes care of that.

I swear...I use Krita like 8 years and you just showed me how stupid I was...😢 Thank you for teaching me ❤
YESSS This is what we need
You have a really nice voice to listen to! Thanks for the tutorial
I downloaded krita for a project for school but it was way too confusing for me so I just used Ms paint, I recently discovered Rita could be used for animation and have gotten into trying to learn how to use it, this has been very helpful
Thank you so much for this vid (and for the helpful commenters!!). I'm trying to move away from Medibang because I'm very tired of the lack of blending options, and Krita has different terms and placements than Medibang so it's pretty jarring and intimidating ;u;
This helped me so much!! Thank youuuuu!!! Every beginner should start with this cause u learn a lot with this sweet person
Vanessa is unfortunately no longer with us, but we'll pass on your kind words she'll love to hear them!!
Subbed! I've been using Procreate for the last couple of years, off and on. I've been drawing since I was 2, but I didn't even try to invest in starting digital art until a couple of years ago. I'm unfamiliar with other programs, and it seems so impossible to learn everything! I'm well into my game design degree, too, so I just feel so inexperienced.
This video was great for learning some very basic and helpful tips for Krita. I wanted to start learning this program as I just invested in a larger and more advanced drawing display, and I'll have to use Windows with it. It was a little hard to decipher a few words here and there in the video, but I liked that you showed how to change, adjust, and fix mistakes and placements of things. It always seems like borderline witchcraft to me when I've watched people drawing such complex designs and then just adjusting an entire chunk of it! 😂
Thanks for the video. This makes me feel a bit better. I need to start building my portfolio soon, so I want to learn what I can for concept art, modeling, and animation. I need to start small, though. 😊

i just installed krita and you are the first tut i have watched on it thank you it was very informative and quick paced Greta vid
Please help! I’m new to digital art and decided to follow your tutorial exactly. When I got to the paint fill part, I did exactly as you said but the entire canvas gets painted red, not just the mushroom part. What do you think I’m doing wrong? Thanks so much for the tutorial!
This has been answered, look through the comments someone who already asked received comprehensive replies, I had the problem too along with many others. Now fixed!
I believe I was having trouble with the eraser tool being selected. Would never have realised! Thanks for also pointing out where the blur tools are. This was handy for showing me some useful things - thanks!
I just installed Krita 3 days ago that's so funny
Great video! It's really nice how you introduce so many features through the process, lots of tools and tricks to play around with
This will help as I just got a drawing tablet. Im going to have to rewatch this though there’s a lot of things that a bit confusing for me
When I color in the line on the shading layer and click the alpha symbol or that weird “a” my colors don’t stay in the line they still cover the black line and it’s like they paint over the black line they won’t stay
I like Krita!!I want to draw something was very easy!!Thank you,Winged Canvas
Most welcome 😊

Thank you so much, I will try this at home soon, I'm very eager to see more
I literally just downloaded this program yesterday cuz I got tired of sketchbook and one day later YOU made a video about it???
is this a coincidence or is it something more?
thanks for the tutorial!
as a noob artist this helped a lot goes through everything i need ty
Thank you for posting this video. I am new to all of this and really appreciate the time and effort you took to make this process understandable.
Can you make more like this? Im a visual learner, and Im also new to drawing. This step by step show and tell process really really helped me!! Id love to learn how to draw and paint more just like this! Like little animals or fruits or something simple 😊
Fantastic video. I've just started using Krita and this was a great way to learn some very helpful tools. Only thing is it was very fast. Had to keep rewinding to see where you were clicking or what you were doing. Still great though. Thanks.
yk what, maybe drawing isnt for me 😔😔
Bro just don't give up like that! I too was thinking the same but as I learned the basics it turns out that it's easy to draw! You just need your imagination and feel free to draw anything!
This video is amazing. Please make another.
We've got a ton more, anything specific you need help with?
Thank you This was excellent!!
This video is so good, I keep coming back here everytime i forget how to do something😅
oo nice, i use krita and it's nice to see it get recognised by people i've subscribed to
This video was much helpful for me.
I'm currently transitioning from gimp to a better drawing software, gimp is more for photo editing, and I was a little lost about the user interface in Krita.
Thank you.
Very clear and informative, i like this kind of no time wasting video, btw you have a nice voice with unique asian accent, just speak the way you are and drop the american kids tune.
this was a very easy to understand, clear and to the point tutorial and I found it verfy helpful!!!!
Thank you! I just started krita today and this helped my
Ok... I was looking for "how do you flipping clip these layers!?" inherit alpha gave me a headache at first but now it makes a lot more sense. I'm still getting used to the program, lots of stuff to explore and adjust to my liking(specially customizing my own brushes). Thank you for sharing this!
This is so simple and so helpful. Thanks so much
Thank you for making this tutorial, its very lovely & simple and with many neat details along the way ♥ here is a flower for you 🌹
Brilliant. Really informative. One of the best training vidios I have seen in a long time. Thankyou x
Awesome video. Love your voice. Sounds very chill and relaxed. I already knew this stuff. Except how to get to hue/saturation in the menu lol ..i figured out the shortcut key first.
Amazing tutorial. You are fantastic. Much appreciated and thank you 😊
Wow! Great content! I've actually learned a lot and watched the whole stuff. Thank you a lot.
Thank u so much for this! I just started using krita on my laptop cus I wanted to start drawing on my laptop and mainly have been doing it on the iPad but my iPad is an older generation so it’s not the best 😂 I am excited to give this a try 😂
I have no knowledge on drawing but i really wanted to learn. Last time I draw is like on pencil and paper and they stick figures. hahaha I bought this xp pen deca pro which I have no knowledge using a tablet for drawing either then installed this krita software. I am confused with all this so thank you for shedding light.
Thanks for the video! 😽💕
Nicely explained the features and demonstrated, THANK YOU!
helloo can I ask? when I open the Krita it doesn't show the same stuff in this video? is it because of the version?
Hey there! It sounds like you might be seeing a different user interface in your version of Krita. If you're looking to adjust the UI to match what you see in tutorials, here's how you can customize it:
1. Workspace:
- Go to `Settings` > `Dockers` to manage which panels (like layers, brushes, etc.) are visible.
- You can drag these panels around to arrange them according to your preference.
2. Theme:
- Navigate to `Settings` > `Themes` to change the color scheme of Krita's interface.
- Choose from light, dark, or other custom themes available.
3. Toolbars:
- To customize toolbars, right-click on any toolbar area.
- Here, you can add or remove specific tools you frequently use.
If you're still unsure or need more guidance, feel free to check out our video tutorials on Krita (ua-cam.com/users/wingedcanvas) for step-by-step instructions!
Happy Krita-ing!

bro...youre soo good at explaining! thank you SOO much! ToT
Glad it helped!
this is very thorough instruction. good video, thank you
Why i can't color b2n the lines,while clicking within the mushroom body,it colors all over the mushroom with back ground😔
i use krita mobile but this was really helpful! thankyou!
I love krita. Can't use any other app because of the shortcut quick menu
This is a really good tutorial, but my feedback on the music is that it was very distracting. Great explanation about the rubber toggle mode. Thank you so much❤
This was very helpful. Thank you!
this is SO helpful, thank you!
Incredibly helpful!
