I really tried to keep this short but there are so many tools and ways to work with vectors it was impossible. XD I hope you find this helpful to kick-start your vector usage in Krita!
I really appreciate how in depth you get and walk through each of the steps to using these tools. The length is no problem for me since it's so much easier to keep up with than other UA-cam tutorials. You're my favorite tutorial for Krita, so thank you for how you do it.
@@skybluebrad2781 😭 That made my day, thank you!! I try my best to get as much useful info in these videos as possible. I'll do my best to keep it that way :)
Don't worry about "keeping it short." I prefer it when learning videos take their time. It gives more time for people's brains to process everything. As long as you aren't just filling the time with BS, you are fine.
Many times I'm not able to find the specific tool or technique I want to use in Krita and I understand that you were trying cover several vector related topics, but there was enough information to steer me in the right direction. What I've been doing recently is bringing into Krita my half letter portrait(8.5"x5.5") hand drawn comic storyboards and putting a single vector layer with my panels from there I match up on my photograph below on a portrait (8.5"x5.5") canvas at 300dpi 😀
Thanks for this tutorial. I didn’t know half the things you showed that can be done with vectors. I really didn’t know that you could use the calligraphy tool like that. I need to investigate it more. Thanks for teaching us noobs such cool stuff.
Nice tutorial, thanks. This was just what I was looking for. It would be a bit nicer without the background sound, and if you used a better microphone.
No need to apologize! This video is the best I've seen so far on Krita Vector and is personally very helpful. Thank you so much for taking time to do this!
i know this is trivial, but is it possible to change the color of the selected point from light blue to something more high chroma? p.s. thanks for the great tutorial
For anyone that gets annoyed using the bezier curves where the last segment only has one anchor, select it and use Segment to line. Now all your segments will have 2 anchors (as it should imo. I do not understand why Krita only gives one anchor on the last segment.)
I finally realized that to d distribute and align vector shapes all the shapes have to be on the same vector layer. This is handy when laying out panels for a storyboard. You scale and translate the individual panels and align the the other panels both vertically and horizontally
Thanks!! I found the video I was looking for haha(I had made a comment on a separate video). This was super helpful. Sometimes reading instructions just doesn't work. This is amazing! p.s. I was comment 666 lol oops
hey! what should i click when i open the krita program to make a vector grafic? ,,RGB and pixels? How should I start and how should i save it when i am ready with this graphic? - Annette :)
If you're using it for print, CMYK may be the better route for color, but your size depends on the usage. I start with 3600x2400 300 dpi, but sometimes go larger
Jist skimmed to a relevent part, so sorry if you covered it and I missed it, but any idea why I can't force a point to be symmetrical? It has both curve anchors, but selecting just that point, and clicking Smooth Point or Symmetry Point doesn't do anything.
I dont have that issue at the moment - but what you can do is 'reset' it to corner point, then try symmetric point. You can also convert it to make curve point (far right option in the tool options), then select symmetric point or smooth point. Let me know if that helps!
@@JustCallMeInsaneWell thanks. I tried pressing every button while the point was selected, but nothing changed. Closed out of krita, and when I opened it, it was working. Must have messed something up somewhere. "Try turning it off and on again," indeed.
@@Soumein if it ever happens again, try to replicate it and place a bug or let the devs know on the krita forums. Worst case it's a bug, but hopefully it doesnt happen again!
Vector tools have an issue I can't get past. When dragging nodes near the center point of the canvas, it snaps and I can't find a way to stop it. All snapping settings are off. Any Ideas?
That's strange. I don't have a snapping issue; I do have some lag if I drag it around super fast. I would just make sure the grid and guides docker has 'snap' off.
@@JustCallMeInsane Thanks for the response. I got it sorted. Grid and guide snapping was off, but oddly enough, there are toggles for all ten snapping options in the drop downs under "View" of all places. including the one I struggled with, "snap to image center". Which BTW was on by default.
I have a question, if I make a line, I'm able to transform the layer into a paint layer, so the line acts like (let's say) "ink". But what I'm wondering is if there's a way to transform a line into a brush stroke, so that the line looks like it was drawn with one of the brush presets. I know I can just use the vector as a reference and just draw the line myself with the brush. but being able to make the vector into a brush stroke would be convinient. I could also use a spline assist tool too...
You were not to the point and what?! How you should keyframe vertices of shapes?! They just idling?! Shapes are not animated in Krita?! Ok, you forgot to tell how to animate vertices of vectors in krita, bye!!

Thanks! I can say I have finally learned how to edit vectors and your video was the most helpful resource for me.
Thank you so much for the super!! Glad it helped you out :)
Man this is a big fat learning curve. Absolutely crazy tool.
You are a dedicated teacher. I generally watch all your offerings and appreciate your hard work.
Thank you!! I hope my future videos continue to help :)
Thanks for this tutorial. I didn’t know half the things you showed that can be done with vectors. I really didn’t know that you could use the calligraphy tool like that. I need to investigate it more. Thanks for teaching us noobs such cool stuff.
The calligraphy tool is neat, but still has some limitations. However with some patience I'm confident anyone can make something awesome with it :)
Nice tutorial, thanks. This was just what I was looking for. It would be a bit nicer without the background sound, and if you used a better microphone.

At this time I dont think it is. 😭
@@aaronchrusniak1169 can you link the documentation? Maybe I can figure out where to change the color.

Thnx Allot!😃
Would love to see how Krita handles vector for line/inking work👊
Would love to see your work with vectors for inking. I'm just getting into with vectors more recently.
I just started learning Krita. Thank you for this tutorial!

Thanks for the video miss. You got a subscriber. 🙂🙌🏻
Thank you for sharing this info😊.
By the way I love your voice, it is very pleasant ☺️.
Thank you so much - this showed me exactly what I needed to know.

LOL ty I didn't realize this has so many comments 🤣
Have fun in krita 😊
amazing video and unique as well, thank you! : )
Fantastic! Your voice is easy to listen to, you do not go too slow or too fast and I didn't even notice the video was 20 minutes. Great content!
That's amazing to hear! I always stress my videos can be too long :)
Very good!!! Thank you so much! It helped me a lot!! ❤
Thank you so much! I loved your voice and the way you explained things. I felt like a friend was helping me get to know these tools :3

9:00 I see you klikked on. calligraphy button but called it freehand (which right after bezier tool
I might have misspoke - Freehand is the normal brush and dynamic is the fancy one :)
Thank you ❤
Discovered your channel accidentally while I was searching for something to do in Krita. Ended up seeing a few. Thanks. Nicely done.
Thank you very much JustCallMeInsane, your explanations are very clear, and it is a pleasure to listen to you.
Thanks this was helpful
helped me a lot, thank you!

awesome and down to earth tutorial, thank you!
This is exaclty what I needed to make krita my main tool. Thanks!
Congratulations 🎉 on hitting 2000!👊🏾👏🏾

how can i tilt shapes?
You can use the transform tool to rotate.

The job interview comment makes me laugh
Thanks!
Thank you!!!
is it possible to make smooth figures on vector with having both vector and pixel map?
The vector would have to be on a vector layer, while pixel separate (if I'm understanding your question correctly).
i mean i dont want the outline to have pixels any of the,@@JustCallMeInsane
im sorry if you doesnt understand idk how to write it@@JustCallMeInsane
I have a question, if I make a line, I'm able to transform the layer into a paint layer, so the line acts like (let's say) "ink".

I know I can just use the vector as a reference and just draw the line myself with the brush. but being able to make the vector into a brush stroke would be convinient.
I could also use a spline assist tool too...
I made a video to mimic a brush stroke: ua-cam.com/video/MHLipVADt3M/v-deo.html
But that's the only way currently.
why my vector layer still looks like bitmap image when im zoom in
Your file might be too small. Just scale it up to help prevent that. Krita isnt perfect for vector but for what it is, it's still usable and works.
Mam, which krita brush is vector .
I dont think there's a vector brush at this time.
You were not to the point and what?! How you should keyframe vertices of shapes?! They just idling?! Shapes are not animated in Krita?! Ok, you forgot to tell how to animate vertices of vectors in krita, bye!!
