that moment when you start binge watching krita tutorials instead of studying

I swear you are the only Krita tutorial person that goes into such detail over specific features, and I love it! Thank you for another educational video, you've taught me so much more than my college.

This video is insanely useful. As a beginner, I was completely lost, when it came to digital shading, because I couldn't find a single tutorial covering EXACTLY this topic in a way that a noob like me would understand it. Every KZfaqr is just saying: "You should set this layer to multiply." and I'm sitting there like: "Why? What does it do? Stop assuming that I know stuff! This is a tutorial, for crying out loud." Thanks a lot. This channel is awesome. Keep up the good work. I hope you'll become big here.

That moment when you realize that you can just use multiply to shade with the whole time instead of just shading over with a darker color.

Modes: 1:59 Multiply - Darkens existing color by multiplying it with selected color (useful for shadows & adding colors to grayscale) 3:00 Screen - Opposite of Multiply. Lightens existing color while pulling it towards selected color. 3:43 Lighten - Only paints in areas darker than selected color(?) 4:31 Darken - Only paints in areas lighter than selected color(?) 4:52 Overlay - Basically combo of multiply & screen + adds contrast to existing color 6:05 Color Dodge - Useful for addding contrast. Like Overlay, but will only brighten colors (& add a lil tint of foreground color) 6:53 Color - Replaces hue & saturation of color on canvas with foreground color, but keeps initial luminosity. Creates shade range, unlike normal brush Tips: 8:02 Keyboard shortcuts 9:14 Blending modes in toolbar VS in Layers docker 10:05 Blending modes & brush presets 10:32 Color smudge brush & blending mode (selected color = color picked in color picker) Please correct me if i misunderstood one of these. I just wanted to make a quick timestamp guide to what was in the video for when i will inevitably need it next time i try using these modes.

God, I've been doing digital illustrations for a decade now and I did NOT know about some of the things you mentioned here! Thanks!

Very informative video not only for Krita but also for Blender, Gimp Photoshop etc. since they all use mostly the same blending modes.

I must say I've been working on Krita for like 10 years and always used the blending modes at random just testing stuff, but it always seemed like "the obscure thing that only smart people know the specifics of" and i didnt expect to understand much of this tutorial but it was actually so clear I was mind blown... this is gonna help me improve my use of digital softwares SO MUCH really im so thankful for this video

Best articulation in any tutorial EVER. I can actually comprehend what you are saying because you spoke so clearly and concisely and your technical demonstrations are perfect. Many thanks, you make great videos that people can understand!

Thank you! I've been trying to find something like this for ages! It's so hard to find a tutorial that actually explains what all these modes do, and why. This is perfect!

Thank you so much! Really well explained! I installed Krita not long time ago and I had a lot of issues especially with blending modes and layer types, now I understand how they work and I'm ready to start practicing and experimenting!

This was perfect and what I needed. Thank you!

OMG i have been sitting here for hours trying to figure out how to blend, before I realised I was using the wrong brush. Thanks a lot, this really helped me.

I've tried to learn this stuff through other tutorials, but this one finally makes it clear. Thank you.

Thanks glad that I found your video even tho it's a year old it still helped me to find what I needed. Good job making a tutorial that didn't go obsolete after updates 👍

I've been looking for a video like this for ages!

One of the best beginner tutorials on this I've seen... Really appreciate it :)

VERY informative, thank you so much for making this video. I've always heard of the magical multiply and color dodge tools, but I never knew how to use them. Knowing about these made my art quality go up by like, at least 20% on my latest piece.

Love that you also included shortcuts for this.

Thank you so much! I'll need to practice this, it's what I've been trying to do all weekend! Thank you for this tutorial!

Useful! I never knew what the blending modes were for. I used a couple of them, unsure of whether that was what I really wanted. Thanks for the tutorial!

Thanks a lot for the video! I’m just learning digital drawing and I watched your video several times while experimenting with the different tools.

Would you consider turning on community transcriptions for your videos? That would allow your viewers to add captions to your videos, which makes it easier for deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers, as well as viewers who would otherwise have a hard time understanding spoken English (such as me), to understand what you're saying. KZfaq's automatic captions are barely intelligible, which makes tutorials like these hard to follow. You'd be able to approve captions before they're added to make sure they're actually relevant, and, if you encourage your viewers to participate, it could make a big difference for those of us who are looking for information, but can't hear what's being said.

This has given me so much MORE information than so many others on KZfaq... THANK YOU SO MUCH!! D'X

Oh my goddd, THANK YOU SO MUCH ;-; I was so lost as to what to use, and how to use but you explained it sooo well Keep up the great work :D

Man tNice tutorials is on of the best tutorial in general on youtube. Clear, simple, constant, good to listen. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks! I've been doing things the hard way since I didn't know what any of the options did. This helps a lot.

This was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for making this

this is so helpful! im starting digital painting and blending modes just confuse the heck out of me. thank you so much for this!

This has been the most helpful tutorial on this subject thank you so much

I'll been looking for this sort of tutorial on blending mode I'm krita...God bless for this 🙏🏽 🙌🏿

Thank you for the simple and clear explanations!

This is amazing! Just what I was looking for!

Your channel is about to be the only reason I try Krita. Seriously there is almost no freaking tutorials on it. I usually use Gimp but wanted to try out something else for abit.

this is the best video on blending modes. thank you

Watching this in 2021 and im learning so much. Thank you for the tutorial!

Thank you . Your videos motivates me

You are an excellent instructor. I will stick with you.

Very informative and very useful! Thank you!

Merci énormément pour ce tutoriel, je viens à peine de débuter, et ça m'a été très utile!

I love this video!!! Thank you so much for the explanations!!!

THANK YOU OMG my art is a million times better now!

Thank you really much for that video. I just got my tablet yesterday and I'm trying to figure it out :)

THANK YOU! I could never figure out what exactly all those modes were for. I see them in plenty of other programs such as photoshop, but I couldn't really figure out what to do with them. I felt like I was missing out on a huge advantage these programs provide

I found this video today and thanks a lot man .new sub

this was soooo useful! thank you!

Thank you so much for this ! 🙌🏻

This is awesome!

proper tutorial, all the info needed was there, not like some other tutorials that are just like "do this", yet you told me WHY I should "do this" which is what more tutorials need to focus on. most tutorials just leave me more confused

Great explanation. Thank you.

Most useful viseo for blending modes ty!

this is so informative, youre a godsend

Amazing explanation, thanks a lot for this

You helped me so much thx!

TYSMMM THIS WAS SO HELPFUL

mate good work!, this video was so usefull to me, you just gained a subscriber!.

What I am trying to get is this: I followed a tutorial from Aaron Blaise who uses photoshop's multiply and overlay to add shading and highlight respectively (layer options that are defined identically in both photoshop and Krita) and he uses a light blue with multiply to shade and a light yellow with overlay to highlight. I am trying this with a picture I drew of a young girl in a fox outfit and the shading is turning yellow on the orange suit and fuchsia on the tan face, while the highlights are giving equally aweful results... What am I doing wrong?

Between you and David Revoy, I'm starting to get ads in French. I never thought Krita tutorial artists would be what finally make me learn French (which is wild because you both speak in English for your videos).

I actually work in indie gam e ocmpany in krita, so this is really useful, thank you

I found gold, thank you so much!

very cool video!

Instant like, exatcly what I was looking for xD

Thank you so much!

thankyou sensei!

Want more in-depth about blending modes, get my Pixel Math ebook. blendernpr.org/store/?page_id=2318

That multiply thing... is fantastic!

Very useful. Thx.

Can we get a 2020 update since krita is a bit changed? ;-; Thank you!

Thank you so much

Nice lesson bro thanks

awesome tips friend, you made me subscribed looking forward to learn from you and is true what they say, that you go in details on how to use tools in Krita. I'm new to Krita and I love it.

Thank you for starting talking math and reminding me that I failed my math class

Man, u are awasome!

Ive just started digital art yesterday but Im writing down everything your saying on my notes so I'll never forget. I had to pause it every 5 seconds just so Im up to speed. For now blending is extremely confusing to me and I might need months to understand it.

thank you so much i feel so so stupid like I DID NOT KNOW 70% of things you said in this video this is hella helpful thank you so much holy shucks

This tutorial was so helpful. Thank you so muchhh! All the other tutorials are like " Choose Multiply layer" And I am like "How to do it, where's the option? What are you even selecting" Thank you so much. This tutorial was so helpful. I started using Krita today and this helped me a lot. But could you tell me the name of the 1st brush that you used in this tutorial. Couldn't figure it out. Thanks!

You taught me more than entire four years of high school in graphic major.

good understanding.

This was extraordinarily helpful! Thanks, and God bless you!

This helps alot

thankkk you so much

thank you

Thank you

I love you.

I've got a question for you about the third brush from the end to beginning: the one with a lot of orange

Thank you :)

2 questions: 1) how can i use the brush only on what I drew? I mean not to draw over the lines? Or is that any option or just the experience? 2) when I use the bucket to fill a shape it fills it but puts the color on the whole background but lighter? How can I change that P.S: sorry for my bad english and the first question is far more important then the secound one.

I'm using Polish version of Krita and shortcuts work a bit different. For example, there's 4 blending modes starting with the letter O. By using Shift+Alt+O combination I go to one of them, and by pressing it again it moves to another blending mode also starting with the letter O. Funny thing is that it does not always work (but most of the time it does) and "shift+alt+something" combination can't be even seen in the settings! :D

very helpful thx

wow hahaha nice video now i'm starting to learn digital art!!

good videos, thx :)

OMFG! HERE I WAS THINKING THAT KRITA HAD NO BLENDING MODES AND I HAD TO DO IT MYSELF USING MY PRESSURE SENSITIVE DRAWING TABLET!!! SLIGHTLY TRIGGERED!! gr8 vid tho m8 7.3/10 too much water

Thanks!

when i try to use your brushes, it says page not found

How did you make it so you would only color in the layer you want without the shade getting outside ? Thank you for the video btw!

OH so that is how people make nice looking shadows so fast on stuff in drawing videos i have been picking my brush then lowing the opacity then shading this sounds a lot faster and better looking but umm is multiply or overlay better for soft shadows?

I've used reliably some of the blending modes, but knowing about how they work and many more is truly a great help. Again, thanks for the well explained tutorial! Can't wait to put the things into practice. Anyhow, just a quick question, since you seem to be more familiar with Krita updates than the people I know. I currently updated to 3.0.1, but the Stabilizer tool is now working very bad, and switching size of the brush with Shift is also clunky. Do you know if there's a fix or a workaround? Thanks in advance!

How do you get it to select all of the color spots were you can go over the background without painting on it

What about luminosity I don't understand why you didn't cover that one

thank you شكرا
