super fantastic tutorial. After watching some of your tutorials, I can understand 70% or may be more of this tutorial. But I am sure I will learn it by watching it again, and watching other tutroials. Please indicate: 1) How we can animate these sprites, by moving the sprite in the scene? 2) How can we make the scene move? like the sprite moves on the road and we can move the scene as well to keep the sprite in focus.
GDquest I and many others would watch them again. There have been a few updates to the programe since you made this tutorial. 😉 You have my subscription!!
That worksheet was incredibly helpful! Do you have more worksheets to play with? Took me awhile to figure it out (I use a Surface and Pen, no keyboard shortcuts work for my keyboard-less work flow*) but once I "got it" I could navigate the docker and layers like a pro with my Pen only. I wouldn't have figured it out otherwise and now I have a good understanding of the hierarchy. Perfect for those who learn by doing (me!) and not just by watching. Thanks! *For those curious about Windows Tablets with Windows Ink, there are options for using shortcuts. 1) using the Type Cover. 2) using a wireless or wired keyboard 3) using the on-screen touch keyboard in full function layout- but it is super finicky and takes too much patience to use for picking and moving layers 4) paying for a program called TabletPro that adds a shortcut bar to the left or right of your touch screen, similar to a traditional graphics tablet 5) embrace life without shortcuts because Krita's interface is super Pen friendly and seamless.
Thanks for making this video series. Im working my way through the course and i really enjoy this. My end goal is 2D short animations. Ill keep you posted if i ever make anything good.
Krita sems to be a really rubost open software. I have to say I was very sceptic to say the least when I decided to give Krita a go. Thanks for sharing the Krita knowledge :)
There's a lot of skepticism when it comes to open source programs. Even professionals are so used to a handful of programs they sometimes treat a different UX design as a pure flaw, while it might improve their productivity in the long run. Krita does give you some constraints compared to Photoshop, but adapting my workflow to the program just made me faster as far as painting is concerned.
its confusing to explain but easy to get the hang of with practice, for other beginners don't try to remember all the shortcuts at once instead use the ui. keep the tools/brushes/commands you use most in mind so you can learn those shortcuts and build upon that
when I create a new layer, a transparent screen appears, why’s that? I cant seem to draw over another layer without it not making a transparent screen when I create a new layer
Sorry one question,...it bothers me a lot,...somehow i can not figure it out,...for example i am drawing on a layer,...and i insert a new layer,...and i want to use it as a background painting, drawing etc. without interact of whats already drowned on the first layer,..no,..not not interact, not drawing invisible..:)...but not draw on top of the images that i draw on the first layer....How to do that..?...Krita 4 btw...
I just starter only to draw or write and the drawing or written stuff is moving each time if I choose a layer or a new. Way different than Photoshop. I dowloaded the 3 version or krita. danke ßhen.
hey so is there any way to single out one layer while isolating layers? i’m trying to use krita as an animation application and need to keep the background visible. thank u!
I think it's quite similar, i've seen people use ps. I haven't used it before tho. Krita is super good for it being free, the colour wheel just isn't as good
Thanks for this wonderful series! Is your worksheet gone or am I blind? I don't see a file icon beside the video on your page, and can't find a link to it. Thanks!
If you fill a layer completely in normal mode then you can see the ones below it, but otherwise they're transparent. You can also change their blending mode to add shade, contrast, or lighten the layers below it
Ctrl E by default or right click on the layer -> merge, or it should be in the Layer menu at the top of the screen. Generally the layer-related features are in the layer menu or they appear when you right click on a layer.
Yknow the sidebar thing on the side with all the layers? ITS GONE. I cant get it back. I pressed something and everything over there disappeared. I cant fiure out how to get it back ad the ''help'' on krita doesn't help either. PLEASE help!!
Very confusing, but thanks anyways. The video quality is very good, but fast paced and lacks definition of terms. I didn't understand what groups meant too. This is my first dive in digital art and this video is already referencing photoshop. 😌
Sorry for that, it's a pretty old video at this point. I should remake some of our older Krita tutorials. As for references to Photoshop, unfortunately, if I don't do that, I trip up the many users who come from it. Especially in the case of the layers, which work a bit differently from most programs in Krita.
@@Gdquest It is a good video though 😁, maybe it'll make much more sense to me once I learned a little bit more about krita and dove back in here once again.
No, it's not possible I think. Look for "isolate layer" in the shortcuts editor. That's a function you call with keystrokes. I use alt + number for functions like these, it's faster than moving back to the layers docker and clicking.
Did you leave the background layer blank and immediately add a new one? Oh wait... This is from a year ago... Welp you probably figured it out already, have a good life!
Hi GD, great videos, i'm discovering you on here :) i've an issue: In Krita 3.1.2 portable (latest stable, Win 7, 64 bit, ) The CTRL+click on eye icons doesn't want to hide any layer, it blinks and does nothing: in the past I was isolating groups of layers and it was working great, but now I can only isolate one single layer at a time, which is not helpful, I would need to hide all other groups of layers manually, but that's tiresome since I'll have to make them visible again etc etc, any clues on how to work around this?
Hi GD, thanks for the fast reply! Alt+click = isolate layer/group of layers, it's just a shortcut (I'm using shift+i for that), but looks like there's a bug: it is not working properly, (someone else I asked is having it too): if you click on any other layer then it isolates that specific layer: wether it was on an isolated group or an outside layer: the isolate mode doesn't seem to be turned off, it means you can't isolate a group together while retaining visibility of all layers in that group. I submitted a bug report at the KDE , ID: 377442 I guess you're not on Win7 so that would explain why you don't have the issue?
That's not a bug, it's how isolate mode is designed: when it's on, it will isolate the currently selected layer. The way the isolate mode is great actually, it has multiple uses. Actually there was the option to Shift click on the eye icon to make only the group visible, but it's currently broken: bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=376086
Thanks GD, I realized that it was not a bug (isolation of a group of layers) but just the way it became since 3.0.1 (Krita 3.0 still has the possibility to isolate one group and work with layers inside by seeing them all, it's turned off when you click any other group outside or a layer outside) I'll be waiting for the "hide other layers and groups" feature to be fixed again, thanks! :)
+Cliff Lee It's on the course page (and all course material will end up there): gdquest.com/game-art-quest/volume-1/course-public/. Chapter 1, you' ll have a file icon next to the video's name (and also access to the next video in advance!).
Hi, i hav a problem with copy and paste in Krita! I try to copy from one layer something and paste it INTO another layer... but every time i try to paste something in Krita, it makes a new layer :( it makes me crazy! does anybody have a solution for this problem?
Thanks :D I found another solution, to import my initial pictures i made in another program and import them as an animation... because i tried the copy paste way in an animation and it messed everything up ^^;
Thanks Fábio! Or right click on the toolbar (bar at the top) or any docker's title bar and it'll open the list of available dockers. Then choose "Layers"
