Summary (Krita tutorial: technological concepts + features)

1) Krita overview + downloading/installing

  • Krita is a free 2D drawing application available for Windows, macOS, and Linux (and mentions an Android/tablet version for tablets, not phones).
  • Tablet note: the UI is better with a keyboard; tablet UI support may be limited but could improve later.
  • Download/install:
    • Mentions downloading Krita stable ~5.2 / 5.3.
    • Installing the downloaded EXE package includes choosing an install folder.
    • Motivation for using 5.3: features discussed may not exist in 5.2, so no separate tutorial is needed.

2) UI customization (themes + scaling)

  • Change theme via: Settings → Themes
    • Example themes: Breeze High Contrast, dark/orange themes.
  • If the UI is too small:
    • Settings → Configure Krita → Window → increase font size (example: 14).
  • Canvas UI toggle:
    • Press Tab to switch to canvas-only mode (hide UI)
    • Press Tab again to restore UI.

3) Canvas/document setup & navigation

  • Create a new document: Ctrl + N
    • Set dimensions and resolution/DPI
    • Presets include A4 or 4K film.
  • Navigate canvas:
    • Pan: hold Space + left-drag, or use middle mouse drag
    • Zoom:
      • Space + Ctrl + left-drag (zoom in/out), or
      • Ctrl + middle wheel/drag
      • View zoom tools also support box zoom
    • Reset zoom to full canvas: press 2
  • Rotate canvas:
    • Space + Shift + left-drag, or Shift + middle click
    • Rotation shortcuts:
      • 5 = reset to 0°
      • 4/6 = rotate left/right by 15°
    • Rotation shortcuts can be customized in shortcut settings (example mentioned: Ctrl+Enter shortcut command).

4) Tool shortcuts and the “Krita command search” (Ctrl+Enter)

  • Ctrl + Enter opens the Krita command palette / “pet command” to search for actions/tools (e.g., blur/filter commands).
  • Add/customize tool shortcuts:
    • Settings → Configure Krita → Keyboard Shortcuts
    • Example: the pen tool initially has no shortcut; they attempt H but use Shift + H because H is taken.

5) Brush selection, presets UI, and rendering workflow helpers

  • Draw with:
    • Pen tool (example shortcut: Shift + H)
    • Brush shortcut: B
  • Brush presets:
    • Open presets box: F6
    • Scroll/search among brushes.
  • Brush size:
    • Use the size slider, or Shift + click-drag
  • Brush settings:
    • Open pressure/brush dynamics: F5
    • Includes options like pressure curve
    • Save/override presets or save as a new preset.

6) Undo/redo and eraser workflow

  • Delete strokes:
    • Delete clears the selected layer’s content
    • E switches the brush into eraser mode
  • Undo/redo:
    • Ctrl + Z undo
    • Ctrl + Shift + Z redo

7) Transforming artwork (Ctrl+T + selections)

  • Transform tool: Ctrl + T
    • Move/resize via bounding box handles
    • Shift keeps proportions
    • Alt transforms from the center
    • Enter confirms transform
    • Rotation/tilt controls depend on cursor position.
  • Requirement: transforming typically needs a selection.
  • Selection tools:
    • Rectangle selection: Ctrl + R
    • Freehand selection recommended for precision
  • Remove selection:
    • Newer UI action bar supports selection removal
    • Shortcut mentioned: Ctrl + Shift + A

8) Layers: sketch → line art → color (alpha, opacity, naming)

  • Save: Ctrl + S
  • Hide layers:
    • Use the eye-like icon to toggle visibility.
  • Create layers:
    • Use the plus button in the Layers docker
    • Rename layers using double click or F2
    • Adjust opacity for sketch transparency.
  • Workflow:
    • When sketch is done:
      1. Add a new layer above the sketch
      2. Draw line art
      3. Hide the sketch layer.

9) Coloring with F-bucket: reference layers, close gaps, grow, threshold

  • Coloring approach:
    • Use a separate color layer as needed (above or below line art)
    • Use F-bucket (shortcut F) for fill.
  • Key F-bucket options:
    • Reference settings:
      • If reference is limited to the current layer, the bucket may not detect line-art boundaries.
      • Set reference to include all layers so it uses line art as boundaries.
    • Close gap:
      • Mentioned as a Krita 5.3+ feature
      • Auto-fills small gaps up to a given pixel width (example: 10px).
    • Grow:
      • Expands fill by N pixels to avoid color leakage through edge gaps (example: 1px).
    • Threshold:
      • Controls sensitivity for boundary detection
      • Lower threshold makes colors (e.g., white) more likely to be considered different from surrounding pixels.

10) Alpha Lock (alpha inheritance-like layer behavior)

  • Alpha Lock (subtitle mentions “alpal/alpha”):
    • When enabled, drawing affects only existing pixels on that layer.
  • Fast fill:
    • Shift + Backspace fills the entire layer’s alpha contents with the chosen color.

11) Selections for hard-to-fill regions (freehand selection shortcuts)

  • If bucket fill can’t handle large gaps:
    • Use freehand selection tool
    • They suggest assigning a custom shortcut (example: bind it to S).
  • Selection combination controls:
    • Shift adds to selection
    • Alt subtracts from selection
  • Then fill the selection with the bucket.

12) Drawing straight lines

  • Straight-line helper:
    • Hold V while drawing with a brush/line behavior to lock to a straight line.
  • Shift constrains direction (e.g., left/right or up/down, also snapping to angles like ~45°).
  • After drawing, they manually clean up using eraser.

13) Lighting/shadows using separate layers + “clipping mask” via grouping + inherit alpha

  • Lighting is added on a new layer above base colors.
  • Krita-specific method described:
    • Create a group layer and place base color + lighting within the same group
    • Enable alpha inheritance on the lighting layer so lighting respects pixels from layers below as boundaries.
  • Shortcut mentioned:
    • Ctrl + Shift + G to automate group + new layer + alpha inheritance setup.

14) Blending modes (hard overlay, multiply/divide, behind, lighten/darken)

  • Layer blending modes are set via the layer mode dropdown.
  • Example mode: Hard Overlay
    • Depends on the brush color relative to 50% gray
    • Helps draw shadow/highlight on the same lighting layer.
  • Brush blending mode (“mix behind”):
    • Behind mode fills only in “holes”/transparent gaps not yet painted.
    • Mentions shortcuts like:
      • Multiply: Alt + Shift + M
      • Color Dodge: Shift + D
      • Notes that “behind” has its own mode/shortcut as well.
  • To target shadow/highlight within a combined lighting layer:
    • Use brush blend modes Lighten/Darken so only relevant parts are affected based on brush color.

15) Color management preview (soft proofing / grayscale view)

  • Use:
    • Settings → Configure Krita → Color Management → Softproofing
    • Set to grayscale
  • Toggle grayscale view:
    • Ctrl + Y

16) References, color history, and popup palette productivity

  • Popup color/brush palette:
    • Right-click the canvas with the brush tool to open a palette with:
      • quick brush switching via tags
      • quick color picking/history
      • other canvas/rotation actions.
  • Brush tagging:
    • Assign brushes to favorites
    • Filter popup palette to show favorites only.
  • Popup palette settings:
    • Increase displayed preset count via:
      • Settings → Configure Krita → Popup palette → change preset number
  • Color history behavior:
    • Ordering may differ from “newest-first”
    • Tutorial notes changing color history behavior through popup palette settings.

17) Reference images tool

  • Add reference images using the Reference Images docker/tool.
    • Add from file, resize, and move outside the canvas.
  • Paste a reference:
    • With the tool active, use Ctrl + V to paste from clipboard.
  • Mentions related color management/setting choices when pasting (example: simplified option like sRGB/USW-style in subtitles).

18) Faster layer selection + grouping and batch adjustments

  • Select layers by content/raster property:
    • Hold R then click to select the layer containing that feature (example: rim light).
  • Multi-select layers:
    • Shift + click to accumulate layers while in selection mode.
  • Group layers:
    • Ctrl + G
  • Global adjustments:
    • Ctrl + U for Hue/Saturation/Lightness
    • Ctrl + M for Curves
    • Filters via Filter menu or search (example: search “blur”).
  • Merge/export workflow:
    • Ctrl + E merges selected layers
    • Ctrl + Shift + E merges automatically
    • If concerned, duplicate the document:
      • File → Copy from current image
    • Export:
      • Save as PNG (also mentions JPG/KRA formats).

Main speakers / sources

  • No specific named speaker is provided in the subtitles (appears to be a tutorial creator / Krita instructor).
  • Primary source: Krita (versions 5.2–5.3+) and its built-in features/settings.
