I'm positing here a full step by step tutorial about the Colorize Mask feature; you'll find in it everything to get started and extras tips to not fall into commons traps and get productive with it. The colorize mask is not new, it came in April 2018 with the release of Krita 4.0 and was inspired by the work of the GMIC developpers but it took me a year to adapt to use it in production of comic pages: I had to adapt my line-art, the resolution of my drawings and be more confident with the tool.
If you like my work on the videos, it is possible to help me to produce more: I made them as bonus in-between the release of my Pepper&Carrot webcomic episodes. The more I get support on the comic, the more I'll feel comfortable financialy to create tutorial on weekly basis. You can support my work via Patreon, Tipeee, Paypal, I explain all in details here: www.davidrevoy.com/static3/be...

@Hejirah 3 года назад

hmm, for some reason, when I tried to do it (just a single part) the whole picture got coloured... is it maybe because of the line art is not 'enclosed'?

@DavidRevoy 3 года назад

It's often because you put just a single color; try to put a second one to fill your background. (hard to tell, I can't see your monitor).

@abobbins 3 года назад

@@DavidRevoy Thanks for taking the time to reply. I had the exact same issue trying it out tonight. So I added more colours, and added white back to background where colour had bled out, and it sorted it. Obviously the algorithm gets better as it has more inputs to process. Thank you very much. Amazing tool.

@@abobbins Thank you for the feedback, I'll pin this comment on top if it was useful!

Place the color white(make a new layer) on top of ur linearts layer

@@DavidRevoy yes, this was the case, I put second colour for the background and it worked! Thank you so much!

@KaminariHouse 4 года назад

After you filled it in with those squiggles, and the whole thing was just flatted, it _blew my mind_ . That will make the coloring process _sou_ much easier for me as an Paint Tool Sai user. Thank you for this video though. Mighty helpful it is, especially since I just downloaded Krita 30 min ago. Also, you art style is sick!

I know this is old, but I am brand new to digital art and was just about tearing my hair out until I found this video! Thank you for being so thorough in your examples! It was super helpful

@rayanderson5797 4 месяца назад

Me too, man! I was painstakingly coloring everything manually before!

@Elkplaysandpaints 5 лет назад

Man, that's so cool. I especially love the part where you showed the gaussian blur at the end. I've been having that issue where the color layer is too sharp and doesn't look good against the line art. I can't believe I never thought to add any blur filters to it.

@DavidRevoy 5 лет назад

Thank you! On the future video I'll show how to add the blur in a non-destructive way (on the panel with the gaussian blur, you can click on "Create filter mask" then the filter will be dynamic and children of the pixeled color map. This video was already a bit too long to include this tip, and I also wanted to benchmarch first what filter is quicker for that: (Box) Blur or Gaussian Blur. Especially to paint on the top. Here I always used the destructive methods for my comics (when the color map is done, I rarely edit again or use fill tool bucket on it again), but that could be interesting to keep the flexibility of editing until the end of the artwork.

This wasn't exactly what I was looking for... but, turns out, it was exactly what I needed. I have just taken art back up as a hobby with the possibility to make a little cash on the side, and this has literally just turned a hour long process into a seconds long process!

Oh my goodness. Thank you so much, this fixes my ONE issue which was coloring in the line art without messing with the lines (by using paint bucket), by outlining every part of the body and then coloring it in, and just a bunch of other stuff that would have ruined the drawing.

@PewterCityGymLeaderBrock 3 года назад

I know this is old but thank you for this tutorial. In my 2nd month of using Krita, transitioning to digital art from pen & paper and coloring/shading/highlighting has easily been the thing that seperates my work from reaching that next level. Everything would look fine till I begin coloring. What I had been doing was just using regular brushes and manually doing everything in a paint layer, and only recently realized just how many people use masks tools to color their digital art and knew right away that it was part of what my work is missing. I'm excited to see how my next work comes out after trying this :)
