@@sarajoralemon6454 Yes, Krita is a fast moving target; I think in the recent video I'll take the habit to say "read the description for update" in case something changed in the tutorial because I feel my tutorial are outdated quickly xD Good luck in your artwork!
there's another change - we need to manually choose the option "load pic from scratchpad," while saving the preset. when we don't, Krita replaces one of the original stamps by our drawing. Btw great video merci beaucoup :-)
@@alenaantalikova3131 Hey Alena, thanks for testing and reporting. Can you report this to the Krita developper? (eg. on tracker, or krita-artists.org ) It sounds like a bug and it will help (especially if you use or can reproduce on Krita 5.0beta). Thanks!
Now (June 2022) in Krita 5.0, the stamp original color must be adjusted inside the brush editor in brush mode (=modo del pincel) chose the option "imagen de color" , the others are: "mapa de claridad", "Mapa de degradado" and alpha mask.
Thanks for sharing this video, without a doubt you are a master and creating great brushes for a better performance on this wonderful art software that is Krita.
I know this is an old video but THANK YOU, excellent and super helpful as I am trying to preserve some of the natural brush-pen strokes I did on a drawing by-hand and re-use them digitally. Had a hard time finding a resource that explained to do this through the stamp process. also your voice is very soothing! your narration is great!
That's a nice tut! Recording live is really hard. I'd recommend recording 1 to 3' long chunks, and then you can edit them together. It's much easier to get a satisfying flow that way. When I record live, I also de-synchronize the audio and the video in blender, and I cut the audio file down (but most of the time, I write a script and record audio and video separately). Anyway, looking forward for your next tutorial :)!
+GDquest Thank you for all the advices, splitting the length in 3 part is a *very* good idea ;-) Yes, I use Kdenlive since around 2009 ( I have a long term relation with this software since my past DVDs and videos :D ) and I'm familiar with the Blender VSE ( I also worked a bit with it on videos but I didn't knew blendervelverts, I'll have a look) . What I like in Kdenlive : the templates titles/screen, the possibilities to add text dynamically, the built-in proxy system, all audio and video filters, changing the shortcut is also really KDE-like and many possibilities to do drag and drop with my file manager. Also, the support for bug-fix is on the same bug-tracker as Krita ( and all KDE software ) , and the dev team reply very fast.
Ah yes, you're better off staying with Kdenlive then. Blender's VSE is mostly good for 2 things: customization with python and the access to the rest of the toolset for motion design/compositing. But you do need to use an external DAW to add FX to the audio (blender velvets comes with a tool to edit your audio in Ardour).
Very interesting tuto. I begin with Krita so i haven't (yet...lol) the level for doing what you say but it's very fantastic. Excuse my bad english, i am french.
Excellent work, I feel like you should have mentioned the ability to rotate the brushes to add my variety to the stamps, but great work anyway, taught me something.
+Nathan Salapat Ha, true, the 'fuzzy' random rotation on a pattern is a 'must' for this type of brush. I note it as a chapter for my next video about the brush settings. Thank you.
Merci beaucoup, Monsieur Revoy! Great video. I was looking for a way to achieve similar to Grafx2, where you can lasso select a portion and right-click to instantly make a brush from your selection. Similar is possible in Aseprite where you press Ctrl-B on a selection. Is there any faster way to do this today in Krita, seeing that I'm writing this 4 years after you posted this video?
Hey, no it is not possible to do that faster. (a solution I often use is to Ctrl+C a selection then Ctrl+V a lot of copy. Later 'R+click' key to select layer on canvas and T to move them helps me to organise the group of pasted content).
@@DavidRevoy Thanks for the reply. Hm, I wish it was possible to script the whole brush-making-from-selection process. Wonder if that's possible. It would, with Python, right?
@@mixchief Everything is possible when open-source :-) (with many refactor and effort). I'm not scripting in Python and I don't know the limit of the Python API in Krita for plugins; but if you contact the devs, they'll for sure have more information about it.
To anyone who is having difficulty with your stamp showing its original color, I encountered this same issue and fixed it. Under the predefined window, you will see a Brush Mode dropdown box. I had Lightmap selected. Change it to Color.
Thanks! yes, the GUI of this part of Krita keeps changing. Too bad I can't replace a video on UA-cam, or add 'updates label'. Thanks for sharing the update!
when i make a 7x7 pixel stencil (or a pixel stencil of any size at all, actually) the image blurs as if it were trying to anti-alias the few existing pixels, and covers considerably more than the 7 pixels that the brush size is set to. i even tried importing previously functioning pixel stencils from a different instance of krita on a different device, which worked and continue to work on that device, but experience exactly the same issue on my main instance.
Hey, there is a lot of scaling going on with the brush size and the size of the brush tip. Maybe you should write all of that on the bug report of Krita ;I'm sure making brush stamps for pixel-artists is part of the vision and maybe just an option or two to block the aliasing could be done.
interesting but i'm looking for "photoshop like" custom shapes technique but can't find it, for example there you can't deform the object, or mirror it etc... and if i create too many it might overload the brushes panel... No matter what thanks for all your tips and advices
Bonjour et merci pour ce tutorial très bien expliquée. Je n'arrive pas à obtenir des brushs qui gardent leur couleur comme la pâquerette. Je décoche pourtant l'option "créer un masque depuis une couleur". Mon brush s'affiche alors bien en couleurs dans la vignette mais quand je l'utilise sur ma page, les couleurs d'origine ne sont pas respectées, elles sont fonction de la couleur active du premier plan celle validée dans la palette. Pour quelle raison
Bonjour, dans Krita 5.0 ; il y a eu encore un peu de changement; une fois la brosse (tampon) crée ; l'éditeur de brosse permet des configurations suplémentaires dans la partie à droite de la ou on selectionne la brosse. En anglais, c'est un menu déroulant avec la possibilité de lire la brosse en tant que "Lightness map" (pas intéressant) ou "color image" (intéressant dans ce cas là). Difficile pour mes vieux tutoriel de survivre aux nombreux changements des contributeurs de Krita avec les année. Désolé et j'éspère que vous trouverez!
Hi Danny; thanks for the nice words. For the problem of vibrancy; Krita supports colorspace and if you have a monitor that support a lot of color (and calibrated, or having a profile installed) you might feel the default color space a bit dull (sRGB) as it might be smaller as what your monitor can display. I had that on a ASUS PRO Art too in the past. You can fix the color management in the settings.
Thank you for this tutorial! It has really helped! Although, I was wondering if there is a way to make it so that it doesn't randomly fade the stamped drawing? And just makes it stay dark without having to add more pressure
I'm glad you liked it! mm, it sounds for your issue like a opacity settings a bit too strong somewhere: it might be on your brush preset; it might be on the mask itself during the creation. Try to look to put every opacity slider you can find to 100%.
Thanks! It's not possible to randomise the color of a colored brush mask ( as the little flowers with already two colors inside the brush tip ) but for a classic brush tip ( a black and white picture where the black become the color of choice from the use while painting ) it's possible to apply a fuzzyness on the saturation, value and hue of the color.
Hi there! Thank you so much for your hard work :) I am wondering if you might know why the hue is not being preserved or used when I make my brush (I'm running 4.4.1). It's doing everything I want except it's gray where it should be red, and this is happening for ALL my brushes that are supposed to work like this. Any idea what setting is causing this? I tried your latest tip about "creating mask from color" and it still didn't work so I'm sure it's something on my end. Thank you again!
Hi, thank you for finding this bug. I could as well reproduce on 4.4.1 and 4.4.2 on Linux... I reported the bug a minute ago here: bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=432274 ; I found a workaround: after unticking the "Creating mask from color" option, just unfold the list "Regular" under. This action will create a refresh of the panel and the tip will become colored on the preview. Then, it should work. I'll also update the pinned comment to list this bug. Feel free to create a account on the bug tracker and post on the discussion; so you'll receive update when this bug will be fixed (maybe 4.4.2 is the last 4.4x , so a fix will wait probably April for the first 5.x series).
@@jennmarie03 I just received the notification that one of the main developper (dmitriK) fixed the issue (technical details: invent.kde.org/graphics/krita/commit/cf3b3bdecd73d55c938227360f92c7ff28f61d79 ) ; the issue was a regression after they added new features with gradient relief/support. It was pushed to a krita/4.3 branch, so probably the Krita team will release a Krita 4.3 for fixes before the big refactor new 5.0. Good. Thanks again for the report
+Gabija B : Hi, I think the magic-wand tool in your case needs a bit more setup in the 'tool option' docker. - Fuzzyness = a sort of tolerance to expand colors range, I often use 16 - Grow/Shrink = auto grow or shrink selection ( this one might be good for you ), I often use 2 - Feathering radius = auto smooth/blur the selection
+jm_draws : Hey, thank you! Sorry, I left my Photoshop Cs2 license in 2009 at the moment I switched to GNU/Linux full-time, and my memory is a bit rusty ; it will be hard to guide you for alternative/equivalence ; but I can try. Can you describe what the feature you are looking for?
+David Revoy Sure! you basically make and save a stencil in b&w like you did, but when you draw it on the canvas, the cursor behaves like a selection/shape tool, so it stretches like a selection does until you release it...it might sound like not much, but you can block an semi photorealistic environment in seconds that way...a stencil taken from a picture of a rock can be stretched on the fly and become the ground...things like that. this is a very good example: sparth.tumblr.com/post/39660131695/2010-environments-with-custom-shapes-structura
+jm_draws Oh, I see. No, I don't think this exist yet in Krita; when I need to perform this type of action, I just fill the pattern in a new layer ( insert key = new paint layer ) I paint the stroke then I transform ( Ctrl + T ) and accept with Enter key. Then I manage blending mode and opacity of the layer and merge back with layer bellow ( Ctrl + E ). A dedicated tool for doing this steps looks to be a nice optimisation.
Hei! I am enjoying krita and am just a beginner. I would like to make an animated book stamp to fill in the bookshelves... however, I do not know how to make the bottom of the books align at the same level. Is there an option in krita to achieve this?
Hi Rapyra. The center of a stamp (and the stable origin) is in the middle of the picture used for making the stamp. So, I think it might work if you align the books with various height to the middle of the picture used to make the stamp.
@DavidRevoy Thank you a lot!!! It worked!!! However, now I have another issue. If my books are of different width, how do I space them that it would look neat? Or do I have to put every book "manually" into the shelf?
@@rapyra Ha spacing, it's always set to a defined width. If you put a fuzzyness on the spacing, you'll have −as you saw− spacing between books. Too bad the option "Ratio" -> Fuzzy Dab works on both X and Y axis, because something like that only on X axis would have been the solution to make books sometime larger than others. A good idea for a feature request.
@DavidRevoy my programmer husband proposed a solution that might be useful for others too. He suggested making small blocks of books which might contain a mixed set of books of different widths. So, one set of books is always the same width, but if to make enough sets for an animated brush, it looks variable enough for the background... also, it allows us to make such inserts as horizontal book stacks or a set with a leaning book or a gap to make it even more natural.
This is awesome, gonna try this soon. But i've got a serious problem with the tags for my brushes. Krita just deleted the tags for almost all brushes and i dont know why. The tag-category itself does exist but no brushes with this tag. :c maybe some got the same bug and can help me please?
+Luna Regenbogenkind Thank you. On Linux, the file where Krita save the tag for presets is here: /home//.kde/share/apps/krita/tags/kis_paintoppresets_tags.xml ; this XML contains the name of the brushes, and a md5 identifier for the file. Each XML node contain the name. Maybe you should try to look for this file on your system, and see if all your tags are still written inside.
+Luna Regenbogenkind Today I also saw mine totally reset ( I rarely use tag, just to feed the 'Favorite' default preset to get preset in the right-click on-canvas wheel palette ). I wonder if it's not something that did happen between 2.9.10 and 2.9.11 ( the version I use ). The only way to be sure to prevent, is to save the kis_paintoppresets_tags.xml after setup the tag and restore it in case. Let's hope the tag system will be more robust in future 3.0
l'accent légendaire de David ^^ Superbe vidéo j'adore ! Tu me donnes de plus en plus envie de passer à Krita :) En ce moment je dessine sur Corel Painter X3, en tant qu'expert de Krita penses-tu que je devrais changer ?
+DessinerUnManga Merci! Changer de soft de dessin est une operation délicate, surtout si tu as déjà de la productivité et du confort dans Painter. Il ne s'agit pas de changer pour changer si ça nuis à ta production artistique. La priorité doit toujours resté là pour un créateur. Le gros atout de Krita est en trois points: sa présence sous Linux là ou les autres logiciels n'y sont pas (Ps/Painter), sa license libre avec les sources ouverte et sa communauté débordante de bonnes énergies. Ensuite, au niveau des fonctionnalités, il y en aura certaines en plus, et d'autres en moins comparé à d'autres logiciels. Mais si tu as déjà Painter, alors pourquoi choisir? Krita est gratuit, et l'investissement de base pour l'essayer est minime. Il suffit d'adopter un Krita sur ton système et de s'amuser à sketcher dedans de temps en temps. Si l'expérience est bonne, il deviendra ton outil principal petit à petit naturellement. Tiens moi au courant :-)
Comme souvent, je trouve les gens dont l'anglais n'est pas la langue maternelle, parlant en anglais, plus compréhensible que bien des anglo-saxons... C'est valable aussi pour les tutoriaux de +GDquest ! J'ai tout compris à ce tutoriel, alors que bien des Américains (US) n'articulent pas, voire marmonnent...
I cannot get spacing to work. I want the brush to repeat after its travelled a distance relative to brush size. I've tried all options : distance / drawing angle / speed etc but still the stroke paints a smooth line. tried increasing/decreasing repeat distance. Ive tried with all kinds of different brushes but spacing doesnt respond. can someone suggest something I could do to get it to work. thanks.
Hey, yes, the options you found (distance / drawing angle / speed ) can influence the base spacing, but can't really set the initial value. If you want to increase spacing, it's on 'Brush-tip' ( on the top of column, under 'general' label ) then in 'predefined' tab ; you'll have a slider named 'Spacing' ; good luck !
heyhey , Yes, Kan ; just remember Krita is a very old software ( started even before 2000's ) and a lot of options/sliders just incrementally were added , one by one ; contributor by contributor. So, it doesn't have a global design. Maybe one day all the brush-editor will have a full-refactoring :)
Hi, I'm sorry you couldn't reproduce the tutorial. Yes, Krita keep evolving and sometimes bug happens, or user interface change with newer version. this type of things sometime makes obsolete full tutorial that took days to do in my freetime for just the pleasure to help other. Redoing is not fun. I'll look at it again, and if I can't fix, i'll remove the video :/
youre calling it the stencil/stamp brush but i dont see that brush nor can i filter for stencil or stamp in krita. are you using an imported brush that is not from default krita? also, i followed Pixel > brushtip > predefined and imported my own in, and when i use the brush i see nothing its just blank it doesnt do anything.
Hey, unfortunately; this video is a bit old. Krita 2.9 is really diferent after six years from Krita of nowadays. The default set of brush got a full rewrite in 2018 for Krita 4.0 and brush changed (for better one). UA-cam doesn't allows creator to update a video unfortunately. I try to update the video with sometime pinned comments. This method to create brush has a bug on Krita 4.2.2 (reported).
+Clint Blake: animated brushes are *.gih files ; Gimp can export a multilayer file to *.gih and setup options how the animation cycle threw the layer stack. Krita can read the *.gih ; for this copy them in the 'brush' folder on your ressources folder.
Ok, I found the solution: Even when you create the brush top with "Create mask from color" not selected, there is still the option "Use color as mask" ticked for the brush tip in the brush editor, after you created the brush tip/ custom stamp.
@@Sebastian-42-69 Yes, this is an old video and Krita developers changed that. I can't fix old videos on UA-cam. I wrote the update in the video description. Thanks for reporting.
@@DavidRevoy Hey David! Thanks for the reply. Yes I saw your update, but I think you only mentioned that you need to un-tick the box "Create mask from color" when creating the stamp. But even AFTER I have created the stamp in that way, I also had to un-tick another box "Use color as mask" in the brush editor after selecting the custom stamp. Maybe it's worth mentioning that as well ;)
Hi, in the top toolbar, you have an icon with circling arrows; they can 'clean' the brush preset to it's default setting (a bit like when you reopen Krita).
Yes, a stamp is just a small part of a preset. If you want to attribute a stamp to a preset, you have to set it on the brush tip; then save the preset with a new name.
+matthieu coudert Merci ;-) Je suis impliqué dans la partie test et bug-report depuis quelques années principalement, et aussi dans les discutions pour le design de nouvelles fonctionalitées. 266 bug-report à mon actif! goo.gl/CEVN4m :D

Thank you for the feedback!
Who would have thought that using Bosca Ceoil for a little bit actually helped learn how to use a DAW lol
Thank you so much
Awesome tutorial and very helpful, thanks!
good stuff! is there a way to randomise the colour of this type of brush?
Thanks! It's not possible to randomise the color of a colored brush mask ( as the little flowers with already two colors inside the brush tip ) but for a classic brush tip ( a black and white picture where the black become the color of choice from the use while painting ) it's possible to apply a fuzzyness on the saturation, value and hue of the color.
its probably possible to simply make a layer of flowers and mess around with the filter settings
Hi there! Thank you so much for your hard work :) I am wondering if you might know why the hue is not being preserved or used when I make my brush (I'm running 4.4.1). It's doing everything I want except it's gray where it should be red, and this is happening for ALL my brushes that are supposed to work like this. Any idea what setting is causing this? I tried your latest tip about "creating mask from color" and it still didn't work so I'm sure it's something on my end. Thank you again!
Hi, thank you for finding this bug. I could as well reproduce on 4.4.1 and 4.4.2 on Linux... I reported the bug a minute ago here: bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=432274 ; I found a workaround: after unticking the "Creating mask from color" option, just unfold the list "Regular" under. This action will create a refresh of the panel and the tip will become colored on the preview. Then, it should work. I'll also update the pinned comment to list this bug. Feel free to create a account on the bug tracker and post on the discussion; so you'll receive update when this bug will be fixed (maybe 4.4.2 is the last 4.4x , so a fix will wait probably April for the first 5.x series).
@@DavidRevoy Thank you so much! I will try this out soon and get involved in the bug tracker as well. Have a great day :)
@@jennmarie03 I just received the notification that one of the main developper (dmitriK) fixed the issue (technical details: invent.kde.org/graphics/krita/commit/cf3b3bdecd73d55c938227360f92c7ff28f61d79 ) ; the issue was a regression after they added new features with gradient relief/support. It was pushed to a krita/4.3 branch, so probably the Krita team will release a Krita 4.3 for fixes before the big refactor new 5.0. Good. Thanks again for the report
I know this isnt related to the video but you know when you use the magic wand hiw do you get rid of the line it leaves around the selected object
+Gabija B : Hi, I think the magic-wand tool in your case needs a bit more setup in the 'tool option' docker.
- Fuzzyness = a sort of tolerance to expand colors range, I often use 16
- Grow/Shrink = auto grow or shrink selection ( this one might be good for you ), I often use 2
- Feathering radius = auto smooth/blur the selection
Great vid! Subbed
awesome tutorial! David, what would be the equivalent workflow in Krita to custom shapes in photoshop? thanks again!
+jm_draws : Hey, thank you! Sorry, I left my Photoshop Cs2 license in 2009 at the moment I switched to GNU/Linux full-time, and my memory is a bit rusty ; it will be hard to guide you for alternative/equivalence ; but I can try. Can you describe what the feature you are looking for?
+David Revoy Sure! you basically make and save a stencil in b&w like you did, but when you draw it on the canvas, the cursor behaves like a selection/shape tool, so it stretches like a selection does until you release it...it might sound like not much, but you can block an semi photorealistic environment in seconds that way...a stencil taken from a picture of a rock can be stretched on the fly and become the ground...things like that. this is a very good example:
sparth.tumblr.com/post/39660131695/2010-environments-with-custom-shapes-structura
+jm_draws Oh, I see. No, I don't think this exist yet in Krita; when I need to perform this type of action, I just fill the pattern in a new layer ( insert key = new paint layer ) I paint the stroke then I transform ( Ctrl + T ) and accept with Enter key. Then I manage blending mode and opacity of the layer and merge back with layer bellow ( Ctrl + E ).
A dedicated tool for doing this steps looks to be a nice optimisation.
+David Revoy indeed. thanks for the info, your videos are always a great source of knowledge and inspiration...cheers man!
Hei! I am enjoying krita and am just a beginner. I would like to make an animated book stamp to fill in the bookshelves... however, I do not know how to make the bottom of the books align at the same level. Is there an option in krita to achieve this?
Hi Rapyra. The center of a stamp (and the stable origin) is in the middle of the picture used for making the stamp. So, I think it might work if you align the books with various height to the middle of the picture used to make the stamp.
@DavidRevoy Thank you a lot!!! It worked!!! However, now I have another issue. If my books are of different width, how do I space them that it would look neat? Or do I have to put every book "manually" into the shelf?
@@rapyra Ha spacing, it's always set to a defined width. If you put a fuzzyness on the spacing, you'll have −as you saw− spacing between books. Too bad the option "Ratio" -> Fuzzy Dab works on both X and Y axis, because something like that only on X axis would have been the solution to make books sometime larger than others. A good idea for a feature request.
@DavidRevoy my programmer husband proposed a solution that might be useful for others too. He suggested making small blocks of books which might contain a mixed set of books of different widths. So, one set of books is always the same width, but if to make enough sets for an animated brush, it looks variable enough for the background... also, it allows us to make such inserts as horizontal book stacks or a set with a leaning book or a gap to make it even more natural.
@@rapyra That's a good idea!
This is awesome, gonna try this soon.
But i've got a serious problem with the tags for my brushes. Krita just deleted the tags for almost all brushes and i dont know why. The tag-category itself does exist but no brushes with this tag. :c
maybe some got the same bug and can help me please?
+Luna Regenbogenkind Thank you.
On Linux, the file where Krita save the tag for presets is here: /home//.kde/share/apps/krita/tags/kis_paintoppresets_tags.xml ; this XML contains the name of the brushes, and a md5 identifier for the file. Each XML node contain the name. Maybe you should try to look for this file on your system, and see if all your tags are still written inside.
Thanks! :)
I've checked the file and the tags are indeed removed. Is there a way to prevent krita from removing them?
+Luna Regenbogenkind Today I also saw mine totally reset ( I rarely use tag, just to feed the 'Favorite' default preset to get preset in the right-click on-canvas wheel palette ). I wonder if it's not something that did happen between 2.9.10 and 2.9.11 ( the version I use ). The only way to be sure to prevent, is to save the kis_paintoppresets_tags.xml after setup the tag and restore it in case. Let's hope the tag system will be more robust in future 3.0
Good video. Well explained. Nice voice.
Can you draw the brush in black and white/grey to begin with?
Hi, sure. You can use any drawing method to create a brush tip.
l'accent légendaire de David ^^ Superbe vidéo j'adore ! Tu me donnes de plus en plus envie de passer à Krita :) En ce moment je dessine sur Corel Painter X3, en tant qu'expert de Krita penses-tu que je devrais changer ?
+DessinerUnManga Merci! Changer de soft de dessin est une operation délicate, surtout si tu as déjà de la productivité et du confort dans Painter. Il ne s'agit pas de changer pour changer si ça nuis à ta production artistique. La priorité doit toujours resté là pour un créateur. Le gros atout de Krita est en trois points: sa présence sous Linux là ou les autres logiciels n'y sont pas (Ps/Painter), sa license libre avec les sources ouverte et sa communauté débordante de bonnes énergies. Ensuite, au niveau des fonctionnalités, il y en aura certaines en plus, et d'autres en moins comparé à d'autres logiciels. Mais si tu as déjà Painter, alors pourquoi choisir? Krita est gratuit, et l'investissement de base pour l'essayer est minime. Il suffit d'adopter un Krita sur ton système et de s'amuser à sketcher dedans de temps en temps. Si l'expérience est bonne, il deviendra ton outil principal petit à petit naturellement. Tiens moi au courant :-)
ça marche merci du conseil :)
Comme souvent, je trouve les gens dont l'anglais n'est pas la langue maternelle, parlant en anglais, plus compréhensible que bien des anglo-saxons... C'est valable aussi pour les tutoriaux de +GDquest ! J'ai tout compris à ce tutoriel, alors que bien des Américains (US) n'articulent pas, voire marmonnent...
Excellent tutorial, thank you!
hi, great work, url brush kit dont work, do you have a new link ? many thx
Thank you for reporting the broken URL! I did the update, here it is: www.davidrevoy.com/index.php?tag/brush
Merci Très intéressant et très bien présenté.
Thank you very much this was so useful 🙏😭❤
no age restriction to make art!
how do i create a sequence?
very helpful, thank you!
I cannot get spacing to work. I want the brush to repeat after its travelled a distance relative to brush size. I've tried all options : distance / drawing angle / speed etc but still the stroke paints a smooth line. tried increasing/decreasing repeat distance. Ive tried with all kinds of different brushes but spacing doesnt respond. can someone suggest something I could do to get it to work. thanks.
Hey, yes, the options you found (distance / drawing angle / speed ) can influence the base spacing, but can't really set the initial value. If you want to increase spacing, it's on 'Brush-tip' ( on the top of column, under 'general' label ) then in 'predefined' tab ; you'll have a slider named 'Spacing' ; good luck !
hooray it worked! thanks vm. strange where they put the spacing slider...
heyhey , Yes, Kan ; just remember Krita is a very old software ( started even before 2000's ) and a lot of options/sliders just incrementally were added , one by one ; contributor by contributor. So, it doesn't have a global design. Maybe one day all the brush-editor will have a full-refactoring :)
Done in Krita 4 :-D Fortunately, we can adapt this tutorial to the new dialog.
Can anyone provide a more modern tutorial for this because I followed this step by step and it doesn't work so I think something changed
Hi, I'm sorry you couldn't reproduce the tutorial. Yes, Krita keep evolving and sometimes bug happens, or user interface change with newer version. this type of things sometime makes obsolete full tutorial that took days to do in my freetime for just the pleasure to help other. Redoing is not fun. I'll look at it again, and if I can't fix, i'll remove the video :/
Han pasado años y sigo viendo este video cada vez que olvido como crear pinceles en krita
youre calling it the stencil/stamp brush but i dont see that brush nor can i filter for stencil or stamp in krita. are you using an imported brush that is not from default krita? also, i followed Pixel > brushtip > predefined and imported my own in, and when i use the brush i see nothing its just blank it doesnt do anything.
Hey, unfortunately; this video is a bit old. Krita 2.9 is really diferent after six years from Krita of nowadays. The default set of brush got a full rewrite in 2018 for Krita 4.0 and brush changed (for better one). UA-cam doesn't allows creator to update a video unfortunately. I try to update the video with sometime pinned comments. This method to create brush has a bug on Krita 4.2.2 (reported).
@@DavidRevoy i understand. thanks for the reply :-)
How do you make animates brushes?
+Clint Blake: animated brushes are *.gih files ; Gimp can export a multilayer file to *.gih and setup options how the animation cycle threw the layer stack. Krita can read the *.gih ; for this copy them in the 'brush' folder on your ressources folder.
It doesn't work on Krita 4.2. The color is not displayed with the original colors, but in the currently selected color :(
Ok, I found the solution: Even when you create the brush top with "Create mask from color" not selected, there is still the option "Use color as mask" ticked for the brush tip in the brush editor, after you created the brush tip/ custom stamp.
@@Sebastian-42-69 Yes, this is an old video and Krita developers changed that. I can't fix old videos on UA-cam. I wrote the update in the video description. Thanks for reporting.
@@DavidRevoy Hey David! Thanks for the reply. Yes I saw your update, but I think you only mentioned that you need to un-tick the box "Create mask from color" when creating the stamp. But even AFTER I have created the stamp in that way, I also had to un-tick another box "Use color as mask" in the brush editor after selecting the custom stamp. Maybe it's worth mentioning that as well ;)
so I made the stamp and saved it now how will I get the old stamp back?
Hi, in the top toolbar, you have an icon with circling arrows; they can 'clean' the brush preset to it's default setting (a bit like when you reopen Krita).
@@DavidRevoy I will try and tell you as soon as possible...thank you for the reply
@@DavidRevoy ok I think It worked
Thank youuuuuu very much kind sir !
Super video, thanks!
😊
Amazing bro...thanks👌
I made the stamp but it's not letting me use my preset
Yes, a stamp is just a small part of a preset. If you want to attribute a stamp to a preset, you have to set it on the brush tip; then save the preset with a new name.
You are amazing! Thanks a lot!
How to rotate?
MasyaAllah, thank you 😍
This is great man keep it up
