This was actually very helpful and will improve my drawings a lot! Thank you!
After making this brush I started using it as a all rounder. Thanks Kai!
Thank you so much for this! I was using the fine-liner ink default brush because I didn't know how to customize brushes. The fine liner ink brush is abysmal for line art, ironically. It makes a ton of faded pixels along it's sides, and makes coloring in the art a nightmare. Thank you!!
Omg this made such a huge difference in my drawings. Thank you 😊
Wow. Thankyou so much. This really helped me a lot. I used your ideas to create my own brush. And it has been working really well ever since.
I don't have a tail in mine. And I can't seem to figure what I'm doing wrong.
sjjsjs me too i can't figure it out
ME TOOOO HELP US
it has to do with pen pressure !! make sure you have it turned on. also, i did some more experimenting because even tho my pen pressure was on, my end tails weren't really how i wanted them, which was especially needed for the type of fur shading i was doing. what i did was go to tool options> brush smoothing> stabilizer, and then i put the distance way up to 475. the tails were much longer and precise. i highly suggest playing around w different tool options to find what best suits u (:
Hi! I think you should enable the pen pressure. Click on settings, then click on "Configure Toolbars", once clicked an additional dialog box will appear below the "Available actions" is a searching bar, type pen pressure and a pen pressure option will appear, then once you click on pen pressure, click on the right arrow and a symbol will appear beside the undo and redo button. I actually tried this but it didin't work, however, I closed krita and opened it again to see if it worked and it did. I followed this video's tutorial after that and I finally got the tail. Also, before opening krita again, I adjusted my pen tablet's pressure sensitivity to my liking. I don't know if this helps but I hope it works for you!!!
BROOOO, I'VE BEEN HAVING THIS ISSUE TOO. I CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW????
Your tutorial is very clear and helps me a lot. Thanks. 👍
oh this is vvv helpful, thanks for going into the details! ❤️
Thank you! I always use the basic 5 brush but it just wasn't neat enough for the line work. I had no idea we could do so much customization with the brushes!
Thanks for this. It is very tricky to get a brush that behaves like you want it to if you don't know what any of those options do but this is a good start
Thank you! That's cool guide!
thank you so much for being another artist that uses Krita ;;w;;
Thank you PLEASE keep like that
Man this help me so much thanks
this was super helpful. I've been using Medibang for my art for years, and just had Krita just sitting in my system, never to be used because it was a bit overwhelming the first time I tried it. I decided to give it a try again, using the knowledge I have with using Medibang (and Photoshop). I had no problem understanding and navigating through the program for the most part, but the inking was my issue. I was using that very brush, but the inconsistency of the line was really bothersome.
Found this tutorial, and now my ink lines are exactly the way I want them to be.
Thank you for this. :)
So so so so so glad you finally found something to make you give Krita another go! Much love!
Thanks Kai!
Plain and simple........so yes ThnXs for the Share ;-)
Tks man, your video help me a lot!
This guy is doing succinct, quality tutorials, AND he's still hearting new comments! Fantastic work man, videos like these make digital art much more accessable to beginners
Thanks. I now enjoy inking more.
Thanks i was looking for a brush like this
tyvm, this helped me a lot
I’m still wondering why I don’t have “starting brush size” on my laptop, how do I enable it?
thank you very much!!!
Love your videos there really helpful!
Hope you get big soon!!!
Thank you a bunch! Oh man! Channel's growing super fast :o :)
thanks dude
You may be a small channel but your helping me in a big way thank you
Thanks pal. In the grand scheme of TH-cam, almost 20,000 is still small - but to me - that's huge! :) We're growing so fast! Very glad to be able to help you out man :)
you're my go-to for krita help! thanks for these.
Aww thank you so so much
thank you so much for this, I was able to fine tune my brush to my liking just a bit of change of the pressure setting give a lot of impact, no wonder I was in trouble connecting lines with so fine lines and it doesn't look good though I'm using clip studio paint. too bad there is no krita for ipad.
I use a stylus and my touchscreen computer for my art. Would using this instead of a drawing tablet affect the quality of my lines?
Kai,
Why I can’t use some of the brush from the presets? I tried using the brush you’re using, it’s not working on mine.
love this video! used this when i was first getting into krita :)
but now ive swapped computers and im having to redo all of this. i did the less jaggy lineart tutorial and this one too, but there seems to be no pen pressure whatsoever! i dont know if it's the tablet-its still very young and worked beforehand, and the same goes for the pen nib. is this a krita problem, or a tablet problem?
Love your tutorials, I have a problem. After following tour instructions to personalize a line brush, even though the adjustment shows in the upper left, the character of the actual line never changes. What am I doing wrong?
It could be a problem with your tablet itself. Try using a different brush: do you have sensitivity?
Same problem, I have no idea what to do
I also have the same problem
for the tail. i try to check fade on guys 👍👍👍 might be not what u want. but i like it
So I unfortunately don't have a tablet at the moment, but a couple comments helped me figure out how to add a tail to my brush. However, it's only at the top of the line if I draw it down (or top if I draw it from the bottom up). I'm guessing I'll need a tablet in order to get the tail end at the bottom of the line when I draw it downward?
i did all the settings but the tip of the brush, which was initially supposed to be thin, remains round. this is very annoying. have any idea what it is?
If you customise your brush, after using it then saving, then going back on to Krita, will it be set back to its default size?
yes. is good.
Thanks!
Yes. Very good
i have a surface pro 5 with pen, but do I need buy this tablet thing to plug into it for pen sensitivity to work?
Love this video! But when selecting the "basic 5 size" brush it doesn't have the tail at the end I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Also what canvas size do you find that works the best?
Do other brushes have pressure sensitivity? If not, then you'll have to figure out what's messed up (could be your drawing tablet's driver) As for the canvas size, you have to work big... but I like to work huge, just in case I want to use the art on something that's bigger or smaller, in the future. I try to do at least 3000x2000, since you usually don't draw out to the edges - you art will tend to be 2500x1300. Bottom line... huge canvas :D
@@TutsByKai What resolution do you use. I can never seem to figure out the best resolution.
Same I don't have the tail either. And no matter what I do to the curves it comes as thick and doesnt change it a thin and think lines.
hehee k same
@@TutsByKai l use the XP-pen Artist 12 and it's linked to my laptop. l have pressure sensitivity on , and I've done the size curve thing, but l can seem to get the tail on any of my brushes. Any help? :)
Recent comment but I gotta ask, is your stabilizer on? When I use mine, it's a little finnicky and laggy, tho that might be because I have the program on my other hard disk for storage purposes
hey, thanks for the information but i got some problems here, i’ve sets up everything on basic 5 size just like what you did but mine still looks stiff and not pointy at the end like yours, what should i do? thanks❤️
Try this out : th-cam.com/video/uM_gFabewI4/w-d-xo.html
I switched over to Fireaplaca since it was more simple. But I Iike the animation feature in Krita.
I love Krita :)
There is no tail when I use the basic 5 brush. Any help?
Is there any way to make the brush window smaller mine covers the whole screen
I know I'm too late but I cant seem to understand ... do I need to remove pen pressure from my pentablet software or should I put a pen pressure... I cant do the pointy tip of the line
how do you get the brush panel bc it doesn't show up for me i have 5.0.2 so idk if i can fix the brushes
I need help my brush don't work after edit even saved it doesn't has the short effect after I change the size to low help...
What exactly is it doing? Is it just no pressure sensitivity?
so im new to Krita and digital art in general and i tried what you explained on this video but I kinda failed? idk my lines are not even close to as smooth as yours and also the diameter like for me 10 is really thin can barely see it and to get a sorta diameter like yours i need to put it around 40.... idk why it's like that for me. But the video definitely helped me understand how i can make a more customized brush.
Hii! Welcome to the digital art community 😊 What size canvas are you drawing in? The bigger the canvas, the smaller the lines will look... on top of being less smooth! I'm really really glad that you enjoyed the video! More art vids are on their way!
@@TutsByKai ohh okkk thank you for letting me know that! Also could i ask which graphic tablet would you recommend to start off? Wacom intuos or Wacom intuos pro? Or some other
Anything that's great really works. Doesn't have to be anything HUGE or crazy with a ginormous screen and whatnot :D This is the tablet that I've been using for almost 3 years - and I love it! It's really great and simplistic. I've drawn and animated on it - so it's great - ESPECIALLY for the price (compared to other tablets) :)
@@TutsByKai which tablet do you use?
Use the weighted option instead of stabilizer
I followed all the steps but it didn't change anything even when I make it look like crazy
..... I have a concerning feeling that this only works if you have a drawing tablet. I followed these instructions and my line width is still uniform. I'm liking everything else about Krita so far, but I'm hating the untapered line width! Is there a fix for this that doesn't involve a tablet or anything?
can we get an updated version?
the video was well explained but for me it doesn't work. I tried to make a brush and change the pressure but it doesn't work. Do you have a solution to resolve my problem ?
PS : sorry for my english I'm french ;)
Try this out : th-cam.com/video/uM_gFabewI4/w-d-xo.html
and don't worry! Your English was perfect! Greetings from the USA :)
I have a gaomon m10k pro
But when I use the wheel, and I use it to increase brush size, it does not work...
Does someone have any recomendations?
Is it possible to get the tip of the stroke to be pointy from using a mouse? I don’t own a pen and tablet.
same, i tried changing everything but all of the brushes stay the same and i can't make them nice and pointy :/
Isn't there a way to make "pointy lines" with a mouse?
I've noticed there's this checkbox "Enable pen settings", so Idk if those lines are only obtainable with a digital pen
I mean, I'm getting real tired of these rounded lines, and I can't find a way how to have lines like that when only having a mouse
Same and because of this I have to use only a few brushes in Krita which are Sketching-3 Leaky, Curve Ink.
How do you make it fade to begin with? I'm just getting round endings to the brushes
Did you figure it out?
I'm having the same issue but I can't fix it
i also followed the directions. however, the end of the line did not change for me.. idk if it is because I am using my desktop, but it did not taper off at the end
If you digital art tablet is all setup and working properly - it should be working. If your lines art blunt at the end (and size is checked) Try heading into a different application and checking to see if pressure sensitivity is working! If not - then it's a problem with your tablet or pen or drivers :)
@@TutsByKai The shard ends of the brush only work wth digital art tablets?
Does this work for computer mice or only pens
hello i have a problem with the tail of the brushes, the pen pressure is working fine on my driver and ive checked all the settings in krita, even reinstalled it but i still get blunt ends. please any help would be much appreciated
did you figure it out? i have the same
Ik I have commented before on another video but I wanna know of I can some how get sharp edges I have a dell with a big screen also touch screen so I use my finger when drawing and I have no pen other than my finger and when I go into the pen settings and change it to look sharp it dont work :P I really want sharp edges to make some line art for my TH-cam channel.
Try this, you're gonna have a nightmare of a time using your finger. I don't recommend it. th-cam.com/video/ZqMPpvgKUwY/w-d-xo.html
I have one thing to ask what do you use to draw? Do you use mouse or any stylus pen
My Brush does not work well with these setting. The fall off is not steep enough. Perhaps it's an issue with my tablet? More importantly though, the brush looks very foggy and not sharp at all. How can I fix that?
Try turning off flow and opacity!
thanks a lot! this really helps. 😁
oh your still here, it's fine! there is nothing else.
seriously, you can leave now.
heheheeh
well done! you've passed the test! here is a cookie 🍪
how do I get my pens as thick as yours? i followed all the steps and pen pressure is on (i checked) and it maxes out at this really thin line ( like razor thin) and I can't get it any bigger, I just need a little more thickness than what I got. Thanks man
It's also extremally pixally, like pixel art pixally if that helps
idk but anytime i pull up that brush menu it
just doesnt give me any of the options
Also thanks for all the Keira vids can you do a speed sketch soon
No problem! I'd love to do that! 😊
Thanks for the response I really hope your channel blows up seriously you have been so helpful I have been working on steadying my hand and I have got a pretty non jittery hand now and this brush really helps the line art thank you so much
Anytime! Dude! I'm very glad to hear that you've been working so hard! :) Oh man - I feel like I am blowing up. Very fortunate to have this success. Community grows almost 1,500+ subscribers a month, which is insane - compared to how long I've been on TH-cam (with other channels) Very fortunate.
can u make a video comparing krita and gimp for digital painting workflow or something like that :)
Hmmm, sounds interesting. Though, I feel it'd be bias - since I hate painting in GIMP... even though GIMP is my favorite program in the world. Since Krita was made for painting and GIMP is a photomanipulation program that you can just do whatever in - Krita automatically wins that one! That would be an interesting video though! Thank you for bringing it up! :)
whenever I open my brush preset just like at 0:47 it pops out too big and I can't adjust it to be smaller... how???
I have the same problem :/
you can click on the pen, go to brush tip and lower the diameter
Ok but can anyone tell me how go make the brush look like this?
I mean I want it to get thinner at the end but it's not working
heelp meee i have no tail, im trying to fix it with pressure but nothings happening
I've been searching for drawing software for almost 3 weeks now, ahh it's so hard
im having a problem where i pick a brush setting, but it doesnt change. it just stays at the default setting its especially annoying because ive done everything i can to try and fix it, but it just refuses to work properly
Hmmm. That's strange, shouldn't be doing that. Maybe something in this could help? th-cam.com/video/j0qZ19l3HFE/w-d-xo.html
@@TutsByKai Thank you! I've been very unmotivated to draw recently because of this, but i got one of those sudden bursts of energy to do it again. For what I wanted, i just adjusted the ratio setting. I spent atleast 30 minutes adjusting all the settings before i commented a week ago, but couldnt seem to find the solution. Thank you!
I had to use fade for it to look like that
when I edit my brushes in krita it doesn't show a result what could it be?
It's jarring going from Sketchbook (formerly Autodesk Sketchbook) on my phone to something this complex. I'm still getting used to it
how do you make your tip sharp im just starting and mine is still round :( pls helpppp
is it because im using a mouse?
@@abbigailmccormack9 im using a graphic tablet and it's round for me too. Idk what to do
After I saved the brush, my brush and basic 5 disappeared... could you help?
Hmmm. It's not anywhere in the list? Top or bottom?
A question do you use digital pen in this video?
Yeah. My tablet is the Huion H610 Pro.
why doesnt my brush have the tip thing
Hey can you do a tutorial on how to color line art for krita on your next video ?
Already done it! th-cam.com/video/YY4jcQFOu5Q/w-d-xo.html Enjoy! :)
my brush doesnt give the sharp edges effect.. is it because im usign a mouse? orrr what
Yes. You need a tablet to get pressure sensitivity.
@@TutsByKai Okay ty!
my lineart doesnt come out solid because opacity still works on the brush, even when i uncheck the opacity option. can someone please help me out? thanks!
Make sure flow is off as well!
Make Video on Krita Shortcuts Thats nice topic 😊
Thank you very much! P.S. I'm a big AC Unity fan :)
How I can get this?
I had the brush but I can’t find it no more i see basic 5 opacity though Help plz😣😭
Try turning the opacity up in the brush settings.
ITS NOT SHOWING HELP
I have press that Brush image on top and they only shows me brushes! Where my setting? :(
Nvm its was updated and placed next to it
why my size settings don't work, i use krita 4.2 and xp pen
Hmmm. Do they work in other applications?
@@TutsByKai i tried it, and it works
@@TutsByKai what should i do?
If you had size or opacity checked in your brushes settings, and it still didn't work - you can try reinstalling Krita.
@@TutsByKai ok.. thank you so much
its weird every time I make a new brush it doesn't draw at all or it makes that super ugly rough brush or its super small
No matter what, my lines are always pixelated. The canvas I use is 800 px wide and 1280 px long because of comics and stuff. Nothing I do seems to work.
800x1280 is extremely small. Try doubling that 1600x2560. If you for whatever reason need it to be 800x1280, then scale it back down after you draw it :)
@@TutsByKai thanks dude. that really helps.
Can you turn off No pen pressure
Yeah, just don't check any boxes.
i need this brush in gimp 2.0 😭😭😭😭😭😭
i cant find your brush?
The Basic? Have you deleted any previously?
I accidentally deleted that brush, does anyone know how to re-add it?
I don't believe so! You'll have to remake it :/
Can you make unreal tutorials?
I actually use to make Unreal tutorials! Check my playlists! :)
My strokes are so thick tho they don’t look like your thin ones
My pen used to have pressure sensitivity but now it doesnt help
If you didn't change any settings in Krita, it unfortunately sounds like your pen may be defective. I say pen and not tablet, because if you can still move the cursor around - the tablet isn't broken.
I love you
I luh u 2.
hey it dosn't work for me, i am doing all steps and it just is the same
I need help the brush isnt changing, only the size is changing
That's because I had you turn everything off except the size.
@@TutsByKai wait what
