Me who has a tablet: mmmmm yes interesting

EXACTLY.
flipaclip ?
Jesus, it looks great on Paint tho
Which one's the best art program???
Can u pls suggest??
@@uditachakraborty5225 ibis paint for simple, good art, but krita for incredibly advanced art
My mouse didn’t let me touch him do you have any advice to touch it he keeps running away
@@litchrye ok I will try
Give him cheese
@@pikachu-jf2oh now that's big brain
Did you try using a rat instead? I think they work better
@@bonithechubbypotato5100 they work like graphic tablets
This man is literally the savior of all free to draw artists that is using Krita. Honestly you are the man I've been looking for with the perfect voice,tutorial,guide and just what I want to specifically know. I WILL DEFINITELY TRY TO BINGE ALL OF YOUR VIDEOS ABOUT KRITA.😍
Aw thank you so much Zenith
this is very helpful! When i didnt have a tablet yet, i watched other tuts on how to draw with a mouse. This is the best one so far! :)
Aww thank you Jimmy
U can use ur phone too
@@Vsuvi true but phone screens are small and hard to draw with depending on the size of the phone and maybe even your hand.
I’m not saying you can’t use a phone to draw but it’s easier to use something with a bigger screen
@@flurchia how ?
@@Vsuvi how?
Thanks im only 12 and getting into digital art but my parents can’t afford a tablet bc my dad got into a car accident so thanks for the tips😁
bruh, that went from 0 to 100 real fast
Never give up! I drew without a tablet for YEARS, even after I started this channel :) You'll be able to get one eventually. They're not too expensive and they last a long time! Hope your dad's alright
^^^ exactly what I was thinking.
Hope he gets better soon! Hope u and ur mum/step mum/other dad/step dad are ok!
Never share this much info online
Step One: Catch a Mouse: Use Cheese as Bait.
golden comment
Yes, then make him draw for you or he gets thrown in the mouse trap.
@@plebthepebble3877 nah, diamond
@@Someone-nt8wz nah, god level comment
@@justamberish nah creative level comment
As a professional artist who mostly draws with mouse, I feel like every part of this video is the opposite of what I'd normally do
I wouldn't recommend using the circle tool unless you're making a flash cartoon, and the Stabilizer feature really isn't hard to get the hang of especially if you adjust the default settings
Hey I want to slowly get into Digital Art. I am a beginner "Artist" Well. I am trying to become one. And I draw with pen and paper but I just feel like Digital would suit me more since I am mostly on my PC. Long message short. Could you give me some advice to start out? And yes. I use a mouse because I don't have a Tablet.
@exportedtokyo is drawing par comfortable to use?
@@mrmawster9786 You mean pad if its so Yes its definetly easier and more comfortable to use
It’s the oppsite of what you’d do and your the oppsite of what he’d do so by your logic I shouldn’t be trusting neither of y’all
@@lupe881 oh god why have I not gotten notified of a single comment nor like until this one
TutsByKai: **draws a circle**
Me: *GASP*
Dis man draws a better circle than I ever could ._.
@@tomatoorphan6166 plus on mouse
i swear this happened to me...lol
Just use the circle tool.
Seriously why is drawing a perfect circle so hard?
clearly motivating, I can create game assets now.
Not necessarily, you'll only be able to make a face if you just watch inly this video
I use libresprite for my pixel art in gamedev and I just manually shade and stuff. It isn't that hard. Unless your talking big pixel art like backgrounds.
I've been using a touchpad [I'm left-handed, so it's easier] for drawing for more or less 3 years and a stabilizer is always helpful [Recently got a tablet]. Another thing is that in most programs you can use line tools and curved line tools to make most shapes you want without hand-drawing.
If you're doing line art, I recommend a lower sensitivity and disable mouse acceleration on your mouse so you can get cleaner lines
Damn thats a nice pfp
damn.boy
Why? Why? Just why?
@random fish guy off the streets its just *W E I R D*
Kid from phineas and ferb bruh
so "e" to erase and "shift" to keep circles circle. ok thanks this will help me as I do occasionally use krita
When I was 15 I remember watching this cause I was desperate to start digital art but didn't have a drawing pad, then I saw this two years later JUST after getting one I got goosebumps 😂❤
thanks for the tips though
Besides using the mouse, I've learned a few tips from this video.
Like how to shade easier,
And how to fill in spaces easier 😃
THIS IS EXACLY WHAT IM LOOKING FOR ... AND IT JUST POPPED UP IN MY RECOMMENDED
Omg I can't believe how much I've learned from this 1 video! Also you're voice is nice to listen to. Thank you for uploading this
I really appreciate that and you are so welcome!
@@TutsByKai is this a virus
This video was the best I have seen for raw info. Bit fast at times but skipping back is easy. For a noob trying to learn, even a simple thing like "Hit return" after making a lone with the pen tool....THAT'S how you pop in on. Thanks man!
oh... at 5:12 How did you move your line. Looks like you must've held down a button something and then dragged?
I actually moved the whole canvas. Try clicking the middle mouse button :)
This was SO helpful! I also really love your enthusiasm. It's clear that you really enjoy doing this.
I have been trying to make digital art for 3 years without a tablet after this I could immediately draw thanks
Thank you dude! I am new at Krita and here you showed me some basic things to create you character and I really appreciate that.
The shading color bit is a REAL big help. Thank you.
Hello Kai, you can make this in blender, I use like this, top view, just lines and vertices, then this modifiers, subdivision, skin, subdivision, The curves are editable like on Paint Tool Sai, you can make your materials on the faces using nodes or you can draw in paint mode :D
The Grease Pencil is VERY versatile aw well! Just takes a while to get into it. I'll look into it further :)
Nice! I have some problems with gizmos curves, I like more the direct point control, like in the Paint Tool Sai, I got this on Blender with vertices, The Grease Pencil is really nice! But I need understand more how it works XD
I watched soo many tutorials on how to draw with a mouse and couldn't find any decent tutorials... Yours one is the best. Keep up the good work man ☺️
Thank you so much
I don't have a tablet so a lot of the things I do with mouse are self-taught, but this does help quite a bit, thank you for making this video!
I love the tool that makes your lines smoother when you draw.Sometimes it can go wrong,but you can fix that.
Thank you! My parents didn't want to get me one. Which is understandable but i want to improve my art and get better. So this helped.
dude thank you. i gave up on krita cause it seemed too difficult but this helped more than you think. i now have motivation to try again. thanks alot!!
So glad to help!!!
Shoutout to Krita got me started on digital art
Same
this has really helped me get better at drawing with a mouse. and switching to krita has helped me a ton!
You’re amazing! As a person who JUST started using krita, this was super helpful.
Bro this is the best tutorial of all time
Lol my hands are shaking when I draw on a mouse, IDK why
You could use a stabilizer
@@Ltloola the line still shaky though :(
@@darkconage2867 try going slower?
@@Ltloola ow, that helps thanks :D
Min too
I've been wanting to do art for like a long time noe but couldn't do it, then suddenly i see this video appeared on my recommendations, really gave me some motivation and a bit of help, thanks for this
Thank you for helping me with the brush smoothness. I have just recently started using Krita and it irritated me how when you fill, it would have white areas left that I have to brush over but now it fills very smoothly. Ty :D
i had this video in my Playlist for years. i finally needed it and it was very useful. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
That messy circle remind me of Dream :)
This was made 3 years ago and still really helpful, Thanks dude.
Yeah. More Krita videos, please. Thanks Kai.
I'm on it.
this is my first time learning krita with you! thanks man! u helped me
I think i might have found a pretty good solution when drawing that allows you to simply draw how you want without much bumpy lines. although stabilizer is hard to use, i messed with the options a bit and managed to actually make it alot more easier to control, and more efficient.
1. When you select stabilizer, you will have two options below from where you picked it: distance and delay. so what you want to do is to first make the distance 50-100. it slows down the giant circle (which ill be calling the slow cursor, from the fact we slow it down) that follows the main cursor.
2. put the delay on 0. it makes the slow cursor extremely smaller. although you can turn it off, its alot harder since your cursor acts like the slowed cursor as you cant really see the actually location of your cursor while drawing quickly. keeping it on 0 allows you to see the slowed cursor, and the actual cursor.
when you draw around with it, it barely has any bumps and is pretty smooth, yet the down side is you might need to get used to the slow cursor. not the best, but it's alot better
TutsByKai your drawing is like Johnattincan
Pretty sure he got that from this video :D
Thank you for teaching us so well.
Thanks for sharing such valuable tips. Last few years because of my responsibilities i"m feeling like i"m not doing what i want. But digital art makes me feel happy and getting better in this makes me more confident. I"m really thankful)
Never give up! Everyone starts somewhere! I use to hate my art. You go through phases where it'll be bad and phases where it'll be good, until you're consistently happy with your work :)
me: i need a drawing tablet for digital art
mouse: i can help you
@NITRICk Milo Or you can spend no money if you have a laptop, you got the little trackpad or whatever it's name is. It's somewhat close to using a pen, indeed it takes practice but if you get something expensive then you will be disappointed of yourself for not reaching your expectations. So it's basically up to you, use your laptop's trackpad to see how good you are first and then get a stylus or whatever OR just go for the stylus and stuff
it's complex but useful tips, i'll save it for late, thanks for the video
Don't forget: Drawing with shape tools isn't a bad thing! In fact, it's really useful and can save you a ton of time.
Thanks for using Krita!
Its the only art program I understand, and it makes this tutorial easier to follow!
Him: "You wonder how to draw with a mouse aye?"
Also him: *"WELL GO AHEAD AND GIVE STUART LITTLE A PIECE OF PAPER AND PENCIL AND WE'LL GET THIS STARTED"*
TYSM I have been trying to do digital art for a while and i cant do it and i found this video i got better with digital and again TYSM
im trying to get into digital art to make my own comic , im 14 and my parents dont want to buy me a tablet , so i think this will do :)
Yo this was more helpfull then the last 20 tutorials i've watched combined
Glad you finally found this one!
pro tip use line and circle tools ! they are your friends and even with a tablet drawing perfect circle and lines are hard to do that's why circle templates exist even for traditional pen and paper art!
Thank you! I have always wanted to draw on my PC! I am downloading the software right now, you deserve a sub.
No way. Drawing tutorial without time lapse! Great video
Your channel deserves more recognition
Have a drawing tablet but still watched

I have been drawing with mouse my whole life in ms paint- i'm just watching this video beacause Krita scares me- Ty dude
THIS HELPS A LOT!!
I'm SUBBING

Needed this tutorial to figure out how to be able to write smoother in an art-based fashion instead of typing. Thanks 🗣️🔥
Glad it was helpful!

*This is weird its supposed to be easy.*
It was really helpful for me who's want to start animating, since I am a pretty beginner at animating. Coz I had trouble in colouring my artwork since I didn't have any tablet or even pc, I only use a cheap phone for practicing.

I’m just trying to draw a profile picture and I gotta do all this research and listen to and translate the art talk lol
you still dont have a profile picture lol
@@shafay3262 nope haven’t gotten around to it
@@namename9627 lol it’s been 3 months, please edit once you do make a profile picture, I really wanna see how good it can be whilst drawing with a mouse for a beginner like you and me.
Soon.
This was very helpful in many ways, i have learned alot of new stuff with this video and i may never ever forget this exact video.
Very very glad that you enjoyed it that much
The first circle he drew with a mouse:
Him: It's not a very good circle
Me: Mine looks way worse
I’m thinking about using this for unity once I get my gaming computer
0:51 Me: *how does he do it? HOW*
i really needed this because i could never draw so without this i would of never learned thanks :D
I have been doing it with a mouse for a while and still am not that good at it
Don't get discouraged! All it takes is practice :)
i wish i could like this a million times
OMG I HAVE THE SAME ART STYLE
Its almost just optimizing the tools in a pretty useful way THX MAN ❤️
0:01 no I don't wana learn I Wana fly
Okay this is actually really helpful. I will upload another animation test soon. Its been ages since I've done one lol.
I had a pen tablet but then it broke, but this really helps!
I'm super excited to try this out!
Using a mouse is a bit Hard
Although hand drawing is way faster, but for someone that cant do that for some reason, this is great!
Once I finished watching this video, my involuntary muscles hovered my clicker over that random red button written subscribe and some ringing bell which said 'all'.
I wonder what that means.
It means you're awesome and some guy name Kai... that runs this channel, is really grateful. That's what it means
@@TutsByKai Awesome! I did the right thing still!😁😁
It’s soo smooth and love the smile in the end
Dude stop lying i looked it up theres no drawing program called TutsByKai bruhh
HAHA!
This was so helpful, big thanks
