How to get 100% SMOOTH LINES in Krita (Fix Jagged Edges) 

Yoo da best. Thank you verdy mooch.

"Just click here, and here, and done!" I cannot thank you enough :D

I downloaded the software last night and was having the jagged problem until I found this video today wow thanks.

I am so glad i found this video. Im new to digital art and Krita and have been noticing the jaggedness of my lines and it was bugging me. Thanks for such an easy fix!

Also make sure stabilizer is on too, it helps alot with making lineart not shaky! (As a beginner i had no idea about a stabilizer but it helps a ton now)

This guy has two accents which change whenever they please. And I’m not complaining. It sounds cool!

OMG SAVED MY LIFE THANK YOU😆

damn dude. dope channel!! my question is how da hell do you get the lines from being fuccking wobblly. want them to not be crooked. any ideas?

My lines are still not smooth but they did get smoother than before but they look nothing like yours

Thank you SO much! I've been frustrated by the krita brushes as I couldn't get that profesh line art. I'm glad I found your tutorials!

Your videos are exactly what i needed. thank you :D

In summary: Make sure the spacing on your brushes is set to auto, and jaggedness begone! :D Thank you amazing dude on the internet.

I just started with digital art, you have been a great help! Thanks!

SUCH. A. EPIC. PERSON, PERIOD!

I tried this, and it really did help with the line smoothness!

Bro... Wtf that's amazing I just did it and it worked!!!! THANK YOU!!

it's rlly enjoyable to listen to your tutorials! thanks xx

Mann this was so helpful Thx for this dude...

Nice to c it worked for everyone but not for me

seems like this doesn´t work anymore.... i have the same rigged line problem but for some it looks even worse with auto on.... v-v

Thank you I had this problem today

Thank you!! appreciate that you figured this out!

Could also be they have the DPI/PPI too low. By default it's 300 but if you change it to 600 it helps a lot as well.

Thank you man your the best I'm getting back to art an you help thank you

Waaaaaaah EVERYTHING IS SO CLEAR NOW!!!! SENGKYUU BERYY MASTAAA

This really does make a difference in my lineart. Thanks Kai, short, simple, explains what's wrong and gets to the point without being a slog to listen to.

exactly what i needed! thanks and Subscribed!

OMG KAI, thank you so much for this! I just got my drawing tablet and I'm switching to digital art. But I got so confused about the weird lines, but I ignored it and I was like "I guess these kinds of stuff happen to a beginner". After I finished this tutorial, my lines became smoother and it makes it so much easier to draw and have fun. Love your short n sweet tutorials as always Kai, keep it up!

Thank you so much for this video!

Thank you so much. Very helpful

nice. this is what i'm looking for. i watched other guy video and he's like "you wanna see no blurry edge? change the resolution. duh." or whatever. dude it's just common sense to know resolution thingy especially if you're into krita right

I've remade a DBZ scene, and noticed this horrible borders the lines got. Thabks for that, gonna help a lot from now on!

thanks! really helped

Thanks

oh my god thank you soo much!!

Thanks man you saved me

thank you so much

Hey I don't have an interest in krita but I saw your thumbnail and decided to stop by and like the video and comment because that is a dope thumbnail. Easily caught my eye. Good Job!

havent watched the video yet, but i gotta admit, krita is freaking hard

I'm afraid that didn't work for me. I checked auto. I used I high resolution page. I checked anti alias as well. I'm thinking it's a bug in Krita. Version 5.0 has quit on me several times already. How frustrating...so close and yet so far

i needed this for twitch emotes thanks

Just a heads up, auto spacing actually makes the lines *worse* when using a smaller brush size.

Just got my tablet rn (im a *nOOOB* artist) and this rlly helped thx man

Yesss thank youuu! :'D

All my brain hears is this video being narrated by Spike in Rugrats Go Wild, voiced by Bruce Willis.

This is my first step towards getting good tools. It's been frustrating seeing tutorials and videos of people doing ONE stroke and making a masterpiece. They get the smooth shading and clean shadows. Meanwhile I paint mona lisa in one single part and it looks pixelated like here. I do an entire character and somehow IT LOOKS LIKE MS PAINT!

Doesn't really work. I've played with every variation and the lines still look pretty rough.

I increased my ppi thanks to you

All i can think of is Mirage when you’re talking x) 🔥

I was hoping to find to take off the pixels but it didn't work. But now the lines are much more smooth though, thanks!

i put it on auto and its still jagged, in fact it looks worse on auto

OH MY GODS I THOUGHT IT WAS BECAUSE MY PPI WAS TOO LOW THANK YOU;;

Ty fam

not helpful whatsoever, dude, you literally can still see the jagged lines on the edges. It only fixes it from far appearance. But what about smaller details? huh? Krita's tools are just very useless and can give out poor quality and performance artwork. I recommend to switch to a different art program :/

Another solution is to increase the ppi when creating the file size. I had major issues until I saw the default ppi was only 500.

I’m using like a digital drawing thingy and it’s the one without a screen: how do I do the whole pressure thingy where it gets thicker and thinner the harder you press?? So bloody confused rn

It doesn't work for me :/

yeah i came back to this video because i was having this problem again and auto was already checked. but i guess i figured out my problem i've only benn using the pens and i always draw my lines in 5. so i guess i need to actually use brushes and use a little thicker lines. i also need to make a fills layer. i'm not sure why i don't remember krita 4 doing it but in krita 5 using the paint bucket tool for coloring just destroys the lines for some reason. maybe it always did that and i just never noticed but yeah i guess this video still helped me out lol.

It's Cool:) Thank you, sir

wait- i didn't really get it.. how does your brushes naturally have the pointy end? im trying to find the option to make the pointy end for soooo long- my brushes end all with the fat round end ;-;

I was struggling trying to figure out how to fix this. Thank you so much!

Suddenly it works!!!! Not sure why it didn't when I did this before but still very happy:)

It made it worse for me-

Ah yes finally a solution

BRUuh ! I was legit about to delete krita cus i was fed up with my end product looking jagged cus of the lines being shit when i saw your vid ! Thanks a TON !! I subbed for what its worth !

Wowwww one of my old issues! Now you finally gave me a solution thank you! But .. how come in inkscape i get a similar issue?

thanks you, i'll download Krita again

...why am I only finding this now 😭 I always take 10x more time on my art just to work around or fix the stupid jagged edges 😭 granted, there is some that's unavoidable and some brushes might already have auto on, but I'm still mad lmao

This guy sounds like Keralis

Also check if the brush precision is turned low, some default brushes like airbrush have it set to 1 and it makes awful lines, best to set it to auto.

maybe this is just a update issue but.. following your steps is making my lines more jagged... but thx anyways :D ur awesome!

Im confused you already had that smooth line art before “changing” it how do I go to that

Just recently downloaded the Krita app and the update is different than 4 years ago! Need help fixing lines

Are you using a pen or a mouse to draw those strokes of shark lines?

i opened the paint panel and i only see what brush i can use not what was on the side how you do that?

My brush changed and became all jagged within the same project. I checked and the spacing - Auto is checked, it's on, and at 1. Having the same brush smothing selected (weighted) the lines look very pixelated, even when using the assistant (the lines drawn using the spline assistant look worse than those drawn free hand !). I changed it to Stabilizer but there was absolutely no difference. I can't figure out what settings might have inadvertedly changed, as I did not modify anything in the brush editor from the freehand phase to the spline phase. A suggestion would be very much appreciated, thank you.

i have a problem with the lines being uncentered when useing the line tool or and half drawn

Omg! Thank you...thats useful 😭😭😭

I have a problem : my brush has a round end not like yours but i can't figure why

You have the BEST Krita tutorials. Thank you so much.

Omg. It's 2 am,I dont speak a good English, but you showed to me exactly what I was needs! My bf tell abou my draw: beautiful colours, I feel the love. But your lines are TERRIBLE. I had to find a solutiin! iwatched your video at 0.25%x for know where to click. Tomorrow my elf will get a new nice face!!! i can sleeo finally! Ty m8!

Bruh it happened for the first time a few days ago, tyy :"))

the energy is amazing

I just can't get smooth lines for the life of me. I've tried everything at this point. The brush I use, which is very similar if not identical to the one you showed in another tutorial, I have the stabilizer, the anti-alias and the spacing all checked but it's all for nothing. I don't know what it is. I don't know if its my pen, the fact that I'm using krita on android or my own general ineptitude.

Where did you did get all those basic brushes like "Basic-2 Opacity"? Krita only has a handful of crappy pixelated and chalky brushes by default.

Thanks a lot! wow that is hidden, I tried the stabilizer but none was giving me the smooth experience. do you know any option that has a similar effect to streamline setting in procreate? curves are still a problem.

1:30 My lines don't even look like that, am so confused why mine look like straight bars and its Basic_5_Opacity :-|

Hey need a lil help, donnu what to do ...I still don't have sharp brush tips ,I've watched so many tutorials and tried to change and copy them but nothing seems to work?what do I do?

is there a brush that's nonpixelated? Whole lines? That why when you zoom in, the lines don't fade

Oof I am having this issue. Just redownlaoded krita after a while and they updated slot of stuff. Could you make an updated video? 😭

Mr Kai, I’d like to ask you, how to restore the brush you accidentally deleted from the preset? I mean, is there any way on how to restore it?

No , I just can’t draw smooth, I play to much osu cause of that I use hover, and my art is super unstable , I don’t know what everyone else does, do they drag for newt lines?

hey nice vid! but ive got a question. my brushes are so zigzagy even tho my hand isnt shaky at all. do you know what’s the problem? edit : nvm i just need to restart it whenever it becomes like that

It won't let me change anything no matter how much I change the settings

Thank you so much I’ve recently been getting into the digital art space using krita and I’ve been so frustrated with my lines on my art nothing was smooth and that’s what was messing with it and this is the first video that actually helped me thank you so much!

I don't use a drawing tablet for krita and I used the same brush and my brushes don't have tails I don't know how to get them please help! D;

bro, I wanted the solution not the whole essay about it xD it didn't work for me.

if you have sound and subtitles completely off and it's just the video, it teaches you how to draw an abstract zebra

Whenever I draw my lines are blurry. Is there any way to fix this?

it's magic
