PLEASE READ BEFORE COMMENTING!
This video was made in 2018, so the version of FireAlpaca I had was an older one! In the newest version as of this time (Version 2.2.10) the 'Correction' is now labeled as 'Stabilizer (Global Settings)'.
In the mean time, I would like to thank everyone for the overwhelmingly positive response on this tutorial video. I don't know how it got so many views as of lately, but thank you so much! I noticed a lot of you had follow up questions for the program and some other questions regarding art. I FINALLY made a video addressing the most frequently asked questions. So if you have something you want to ask, do head to that video and see if your question has been answered. THANKS AGAIN!

Thank you very much! For years I've been painting the "old fashioned way" with actual canvasses, brushes, oils and acrylics. I knew I needed to take the leap into the 21st century and learn software drawing/art, but honestly I found it a little intimidating because I'm not a techie. You made it not-so-scary, and I'm going to give it a try. I downloaded FireAlpaca today. Continued success to you!

Thank you so much - you are a true life saver because I am very new - not even an hour under FireAlpaca and I couldn't get much use out of it - however - this tutorial helped me so much.
I appreciate what you do.

[@thecoralex]

I know I'm late but this is so helpful! Thank you so much! Usually I'm a bit intimidated by long tutorials but yours was short and very easy to follow :) Thank you~~

Finally, a clear tutorial! Thank you so much! I'll have to watch it again though. The layer part is hard XD
This was an amazing tutorial!

[@livewithinyourmeans]

Thank you so much. This was an excellent beginning tutorial. I haven't done much drawing except when I was young and with pencils. I wish to learn this. I'm grateful.

[@vivianeb90]

I am using an XP-Pen tablet. They are like perfectly tuned to Firealpaca. All the button functions will work and it was affordable as well.
I wanted a screen tablet and they were a cheap option, but I love it. Mine is the Artist 12, you can turn the screen on and off, in off mode you can still use the tablet like a regular drawing tablet. That was something I really liked. The only downsides were that there is lots of cables for the tablet and that I can't have any other drawing tablet drivers or programs on this laptop at the same time because they will affect each other. But if you have any problems, then their chat service on their website is very helpful. They have helped me out a bunch of times already and always were very nice and patient. They respond quickly, too.
(I am not sponsored by them, I just think that they deserve the praise because I love my tablet so much.)

[@TheChibChibi]

Viv Wallace That’s wonderful to know! Indeed, there’s no need for extra fancy stuff. Sometimes the budget items still work perfectly fine ✨

hi i have a qwestion how did you select multiplie things with magic wond because mine only selects one thing.(sorry for bad english)

[@TheChibChibi]

I see... For that it is simple. While using the wand tool, just hold down 'Shift'. Then you'll be able to select multiple areas at once. Hope this helps~!

[@bigstunna2049]

When I draw it has a delay as I drag my pen how would I fix that?

[@TheChibChibi]

slick vick That may be caused by various reasons. The lag usually is because of the correction option. If you set it too high, it may cause some delays. Try to lower it to the best settings. Actually mine had delays too, but once I used it a bunch of times, it calibrated itself. It may also be because of the CPU. For that, service can fix it or you can download a PC cleaner that is embbeded with a booster driver to help speed it up. It also may be because of the graphic tablet/mouse. Some brands cause a few delays.
Hope some of these helped~!

[@bigstunna2049]

TheChibChibi when I draw it will show a circle where I started but won't start at that spot

[@TheChibChibi]

slick vick Ouh that one happens all the time. It will usually go away if you refresh on your desktop. If that doesn't work you'll need to close the program then unplug the tablet and then replug it. Then reopen the program. If that doesn't work, the solution that I always use is that I had no choice but to restart my computer. Sometimes it could also be because of the tablet's drivers. For that you need to refresh the drivers or update them.
Hope these may solve some of the issues.

[@bigstunna2049]

TheChibChibi ok thanks this has helped allot

[@hexagon4902]

[@TheChibChibi]

To use Onion Skin Mode go to the 'View' tab and click on 'Onion Skin Mode'. Once you draw on one layer, make a new layer then you should be able to see the last drawing colored in a faded red. Proceed by drawing the next frame and carry on from there. To test the animation, go to 'View' again and click on 'Auto Play'. You should have a new window pop-up displaying your animation. You can adjust the speed of the animation at the left corner of the window on the Auto Play window. I might make a tutorial on that soon but for now I hope this helps~!
