"So that's pretty c-- ...interesting." What an endearing, adorable presenter.

You are an absolute legend. I was so so daunted to try digital art because it looked so difficult, but you broke it all down so well, now I'm just psyched to get started! Thanks so much, man

Your English is easily understandable, don’t apologize for your accent! Helps me to stay keyed in, some people drone on in these tutorials and put me to sleep. Great job by the way I learned a lot!

Never apologize for your accent. The fact that you give this amount of content free of charge out of a desire to teach is commendable in itself, and I am grateful you've done so. I'm barely in and can tell you know your stuff :)

I am 28 minutes into this video, and I cannot believe how good this tutorial is. You are knowledgeable, good at explaining and funny. I am going really slow as I am taking notes and practicing what I am learning, but I just wanted to let you know that this is one of the best tutorials I have ever watched. Congratulations on such an excellent work!

About half a year into digital art now, and this is the video that got me started! I've commented before, but I'm just returning to thank you again!

No need to apologize for your accident bro, your very clear and this tutorial was easy to understand. Your very thorough and helpful.

I had just installed Krita and was looking for a quick tutorial. When I saw this one I was like "YIKES! It's 3 hours long!" But I started watching in bits and pieces and I'm really glad that I did. I was using Autodesk for a long time and my drawings/paintings were just so amateurish that I gave up. I decided to try again and so watched this. I'm grateful for this and made a lot of notes. Thank you!

Wow. Never in my life had I seen such a complete tutorial. It really helped me get a grip on the basic concepts of Krita, as well as some of the more complicated ones. Thank you so much; I can't wait to start using both my drawing tablet and Krita properly after seeing this video.

As someone who tries to learn on my own instead of going to school for this stuff this really is the OG Krita tutorial, i cant describe, how much i have learned here

You never have to apologize about you accent and English skills, both are wonderful! Thank you so much for this tutorial/guide. It is rare to find videos on RU-vid that have any length to them. This length of video allows us to stay focused instead of bouncing around all over RU-vid. No more watching videos 5-15min in length that repeat the same information over and over. Merci beaucoup!

Great tutorial! I’m a complete beginner to digital art and this is perfect. Your explanations are very understandable. I’m one hour in and I keep pausing to practice why you’re talking about. Thank you so much for making and sharing this video. You are very generous 😊

This isn't a tutorial, it's more like a complete course, packed with amazing info!

I've been using krita for years and never learned I could do half the keyboard shortcuts shown here. Absolutely lovely tutorial, I learned lots!

your accent is lovely and your english is as good as it gets i really appreciate your taking the time to make this and sharing your knowledge thank you :)

very nice; thank you for sharing your knowledge (please don't apologise for your accent; i've been speaking english, and nothing else, for 60+ years, and at no point did i have any problem at all understanding what you were saying; greetings from UK)

39:04 the shortcut for filling the foreground colour is shift + backspace

More than a tutorial it is a real course. I really can't thank you enough for this amazing video, which must have cost you many hours of work. You managed to provide all the necessary and useful information to tackle this beautiful program. Again, thank you very much for a great job.

I am so thankful to you for this expansive and in-depth yet easily understandable tutorial, you've saved me from so much anxiety. When I opened Krita I was very exhausted just trying to figure out the tools. Your video singlehandedly saved me from going into a sad bout of "I won't be able to do this". Bless you

The best video i stumbled upon on! I used to draw a lot and now I'm getting back to it and trying to do some digital art, so a reminder of basics of drawing and a tutorial on a digital art program was just what i was looking for

Thanks a lot for this long tutorial! I was able to learn so much more than with short ones because you got into the details. Especially the tools section was very useful and the demo section :D

This is good stuff, thanks for taking the time to create the tutorial and focusing on the real world applicable things someone starting out would need to know.

Such a comprehensive tutorial! Thank you for making this, really helps a newbie

I followed this tutorial with krita open and am quite amazed at how nice things turned out. Felt like an average classroom session!

Thank you so much!!!! This is exactly what I needed. I've never gotten into all the stuff you can do with the selection + transform tools and the 3D rotation tip blew my mind. I created a pretty good looking brick wall with it and as a person who never bothers with drawing backgrounds, being able to do that so easily really opens doors to me. Super fun. I'm only thirty minutes into this tutorial but already felt the need to comment something. If you ever make another Krita/digital art tutorial I'll be looking forward to it! and hey, your English is absolutely fine and very easy to understand. You seem like such a pleasant person :)

THANK YOU!!!!!! THIS IS AMAZING! I haven't found another video as helpful as yours. I seriously cannot begin to tell you how much I needed this.

Great tutorial, thank you so much! I know I'll be returning to it often whenever I need a reminder.

This is one of the absolute best tutorial videos I have ever seen. You have made transitioning to Krita so much smoother. Thank you!

All of their apologizing for the accent was so cute🥺😄❤️This tutorial is great! Thank you!

Thank you so much! I'm brand new to digital art and super rusty in traditional. This video was much needed for me!

Thank you for taking the time to do this. I've been drawing on paper all my life and have only recently decided to delve into digital painting and drawing. This makes the learning curve MUCH easier!

Just discovered your channel. Have to say, you're an absolute legend!

highly recommended I watched the whole session please do more sessions like these. Thank you

Just downloaded Krita the other day, saving this to have a go while I watch the rest. What I've seen seems pretty straightforward but very helpful. Thanks for this 👌

Awesome tutorial! I used to draw a lot when I was younger and wanted to give digital a try. I downloaded Krita because it was free but I was overwhelmed. You've cleared a lot of that up. Thanks so much!

This was the one of the best tutorials out there. Both for Krita and basic drawing part. Especially faces with random shapes part, love it!

Most comprehensive and thorough tutorial that I have seen. No BS and all the good stuff. Thank you!!!!

This is just what I needed! Easy to understand and everything was covered. Thank you so much ☺️ I’d advice anyone watching to watch at 1.5x speed just cus it’s a long video.

I think I am qualified to salute you and the tutorial you have produced. My credentials are that I am absolutely a clueless beginner and have purchased instruction from Udemy watched over two and a half dozen RU-vid videos on the subject. Yours, in my opinion is hands down, the very best. It is comprehensive, well paced for a beginner, and logically structured. I am ready to pay for this very fine product! Until I do; thanks so very much, Fred

This is an all-in-one premium package! Hell yeah!

Thank you for the detail instruction. This is fantastic.

Just started to get back into digital art after a 20 year+ gap - Got my Wacom Intuos Pro coming tomorrow! Krita seemed the perfect choice for me because of budget. I can't thank you enough for making such a comprehensive introduction, it's going to help me a lot. All the very best.

What a wonderful choice of topic for another one of your much-appreciated videos!

Amazing presentation! Thank you so much. I’ve been trying to get into digital art for years (I’ve been doing traditional for 2 decades) but it’s always been intimidating for me. This tutorial was perfect and I finally feel confident to get started!

This is one of the best tutorials I've ever seen, and your English is fantastic! I went from feeling completely intimidated by the idea of getting started with digital art to really excited to dive right in. And I'm only halfway through the video!

This tutorial is... pretty cool! Seriously, great tutorial man! I am learning so much and it is really easy to follow along! :) Thank you!

A little over two months ago, I watched this video to help me get started with digital art! Today I'm back to say thank you for the video! I've been having so much fun with art, and I can't wait to see where I end up in the future!

This is THE Best basic Krita tutorial! Thank you, thank you, thank you! The complete guide for beginners

Tbh, I was a bit reluctant to start the video - my focus isn't that great and I can't pay attention to classes that are hours long, usually. But I decided I could split it in parts, if I needed to, so I gave it a shot and that was the best decision I've made. I'm not even half way there yet, but I managed to learn so much already that I felt the need to write a comment. I had been learning how to use Krita for a couple of days, but there's a few details that I think it'd take months, at the best, for me to find out without your help. Thank you so much for posting the video, your tips are just as amazing as the entire lesson and I couldn't be more grateful! All the love!

I'm 33 minutes into this video and havev learned more than an entitre course. You are EPIC! Thanks so much for doing this.

Thank you so much, that was exactly what i was needing!! I just started at digital art, and found krita, but i was so lost with all that tools, and your video,explaining um details each thing, helped me a lot

Thank you so much this tutorial it really helped me a lot, as a beginner this is a gem

Omg... this... thank you so so much for this tutorial! 💗 I've been struggling and will be going over this video several times to get my act together. Thank you!!!

Have only just discovered this tutorial - it is, by far, the best Krita tutorial I've ever encountered ! Have immediately Subscribed, and look forward to many others from you, especially with the newly-released Krita 5. Merci beaucoup - love your accent !

I cant thank you enough for this one. You are amazing! The way you have explained the blending modes is so clear. Thank you so much.

Un immense merci pour ce tutoriel complet !! J'avais suivi ceux de Blender que tu avais fait, et comme je me suis mis a Krita, ça tombe bien, je vais pouvoir suivre les tiens de nouveau, qui sont toujours de bonne facture ! 😊 Comme d'hab, très agréable à suivre, et très bien détaillé avec plein de bons conseils pour les débutants !! Merci beaucoup 🧡 Franchement, respect, j'te tire mon chapeau d'avoir le cran de te lancer dans des tutos en anglais, de faire l'effort de tout expliquer dans cette langue et d'avoir l'accent ! C'est ouf ! Sacrée concentration qu'il doit falloir avoir pour tenir ce dernier tout le long et trouver ses mots ! Et t'en fais pas, ça pique pas les oreilles ! C'est même plutôt marrant d'entendre les petits sursauts de français qui débarquent des fois 🤣 Bref, merci beaucoup pour tout ce que tu nous partage, et force à toi pour la suite 🧡

Thanks so much for this in depth guide - my generous respect for spending so much time and effort in creating this for free!

I'm grateful for your tutorial. Thank you so much~

Je découvre Krita et je ne pouvais pas trouver un meilleur tutoriel. Bravo et un énorme MERCI !!!

Thank you - that was an awesome tutorial! And it obviously took a sizeable portion of time to make.

Wow. Useful, intuitive (well, at least after watching this tutorial), very powerful, great responsive UI with lots of time-saving tweaks and shortcuts. And it's completely free.

THANK YOU!! I'm new to digital art. I'm taking notes from this video!

Awesome tutorial. I'm going through this in 1h sessions (~20 min watching, ~40 min playing around), spent 4 hours now, 5 more to go. This is really fun!

I've been using krita for a year and I learnt more from this video than I did naturally in that time

Thanks for the effort in doing this. It is fantastic!

Krita, blender and Unreal 5 ??? Bro's doing everything i've wanted to learn. I see how the stars are aligned now

I have adhd, but I'll do my best to watch this 8 times

thank you, a very thoughtful presentation.

"Im sorry for my French accent" Bro that makes the tutorial even better to listen to 😭😂

Amazing video, such a good explanation for everything, its just the peak of any tutorial video, the father of tutorials. Keep up the good work!

I downloaded Krita some time ago. I am very happy to have found this video. Since I started trying to create my own art to sell because of not worried about stealing another person's art. Thank you for this video.

I love your accent! Believe it or not I find you easier to understand than many native english tutorials. Tysm for starting me out the right way!

Best tutorial I have ever seen. Thank you soooo much!

Wow I've been looking for a decent painting app to use with a graphics tablet. This is by far the best. Thanks for sharing your tips.
