Come up with your own project! Do you want to draw your original character? Fan art? Create video game graphics? Pixel art? Animated characters? Focus on creating the project with Krita, and then you'll more easily memorize how to use it!Class Experience
From just learning the basics of Krita, you can already draw, paint and even animate! I will show you tips on how to set up the work space for the best work flow and ease of use. I can show you shortcuts like clipping masks so that you don't have to worry about dodging your outlines when you color in your line drawings. After showing you the very basics, we can play around with Krita and students can ask me questions on how to navigate the app. Keep in mind that I specialize in drawing, digital painting and 2D frame-by-frame hand-drawn digital animation. It is highly recommended that you're using Krita on laptop or desktop, and with a graphics tablet such as a Wacom, Huion, XP Pen or anything similar.
Learning Goals
Learn just the basics, enough to get you started and be able to complete basic projects such as drawings, simple paintings and animations.
