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 TH-camr 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.
Thank you kindly for your message! That's exactly what I'm trying to do it GDquest, to offer more than step-by-step guides. You can check out ctrlpaint.com for more tutorials in the same style. GDquest will become big at some point. It's getting there slowly, especially as it's dedicated to open source programs (Krita is not well-known yet), but I'm in it for the long run, hopefully.
Vitali Sacharenko i can relate to this. I did only traditional art so far and i decided to start digital too, but shading/blending i couldnt figure out how to do. This has been a greaaat help! Thanks a lot!
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.
Totally and I hope it gets people to use Krita ! I'm so tired of the monopoly of Photoshop, especially when it's clearly not an art oriented tool ! It's a jack of all trades (and an extremely good tool for "photoshopping" since it coined the term, but artistically, there are much better tools, and I hope Krita has a long life)
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.
Hi, i have a question, so i tried using the multiply in the like in the video over the circles but unlike in the video, after i choose Multiply the airbrush seems to still color all over outside of the circle. Like in the video it just went inside the circle but doesnt do the same for me??
@@jekesan4221 To get it to work like in the video select the checker board right next to the lowercase a and the padlock on the layer your currently working on and once u turn on it it will appear opaque and have a lock on it, then u can only color on already made pixels. (I don't think it works on the default "background" layer)
@@KarmaGrass with overlay if you're using a lighter color than the color in the normal layer you'll be making things lighter. But if you use darker color only then it will get darker. But in multiply no matter what value you pic the layer underneath will not matter, it will just keep getting darker as you paint over it.
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!
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.
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
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!
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. TH-cam'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.
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!
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).
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.
totally excellent, thank you. I'm finally accepting that I've been a complete ignorant noob by ignoring all these helpful options because it seemed like a headache to deal with them.. but they're useful and timesaving. your tutorial was so good.
wait it still works ? i thought it was outdated can you explain more please ? because i dont know why but it removes every color i did or when i click on the other it just overlays :/ (im sorry im dum)
@@The_Ruler201 hush don't call yourself dum(b). idk if it works exactly to these specifications because I haven't tested the colours on the vid, but I have been using overlay for shadows and lights so I think it's still working? do you have the most updated version of krita? maybe yours is glitching? what do you mean it removes every color? like it just erases what you had? "or when i click on the other it just overlays" .. as in it just substitutes another colour? pls explain more
A very useful tutorial, but it would have saved a lot of time if you explained from the outset that Preserve Apha needs to be checked off for the blending modes to work as you show here.
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 👍
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?
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.
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!
As Lusus Saule said below: "A very useful tutorial, but it would have saved a lot of time if you explained from the outset that Preserve Alpha needs to be checked off for the blending modes to work as you show here."
you press the CHECKERED ICON right beside the ERASER ICON in the tool bar (beside the blending modes drop down menu). This will make it so that you can only blend or paint on top that painting in THAT LAYER , ignoring the background or other layers.
@@echorisdrawingandanimation8450 do you have the right layer selected? Sometimes I go into settings and get ready to paint but then I'm on the wrong layer.
There is also a setting called "protect alpha" usually located near the layers. When you enable that, then you can draw over only that layer and you won't get anything on the background- ah wait, i'm 2 years late...
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
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
It seems like it's automated - it doesn't always work. Sometimes, in a context menu, the same letter will be underlined twice, and if there's a submenu in there, you won't be able to call the second entry with that shortcut. The shift alt shortcuts are in the keyboard shortcuts. Just search for blending mode or something like that to find the complete list. (At least here it's available)
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
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.
I have an odd problem. When I change the blend mode on the layer, the option to select normal disappears and I can't reset the blend mode to normal on the layer. help?
Can anyone please tell me what i did wrong, i used the Multiply mode too and when i tried to airbrush the circles like in the video, it also went out of the circles??
There's a "lock alpha" feature, which can be turned on right next to the eraser (it looks like a small checkerboard). When it's on, you can only draw on places that already have been drawn on. This is why he only draws on the colored circles, because they are the only pixels already down on that layer. Hope that helps
Can anyone help with this? The Multiply / Normal modes are working fine. But when I switch modes like Lighten or Screen, the drawing is disappearing from the workspace for some reason?
You're probably not going to see this, but I'm actually confused at a specific part of your video: at around 2:40, you show of shading and greyscale with multiply on the brush. One moment you're just drawing on the canvas entirely and then an unexplained moment later you're only shading the circles (background is untouched). How'd you do that without a group layer or selecting them?
My traditional artist brain is very confused, so many extra steps to do a simple thing. But at least the novice digital art brain has a bit more of a clue. Thank you.
2:15 Multiply works fine on the layers below, but I don't want to parts around the circle to darken, too. You made a jump cut just before that happened & I have no idea how to stop it.
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.
Can someone help? If I try to do these they looks different for me because they have a very sharp edge and don't blur with the color, and I tried a lot of brushes.
Isn't there any custom made blending brush for krita, just like clip studio paint and ibis paint x? I think krita is just WAY TOO HARD for me to do.. i will switch to clip studio..
that moment when you start binge watching krita tutorials instead of studying
Oh lord, I think we've all come to this...
I mean, you ARE studying :^)
My Finals are in 2 months and I have done nothing

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.
Can someone PLEASE tell me why my screen mode works like multiply and multiply like screen. Am I doing something wrong. I AM CONFUSED
How do you make the color stay within the circle?
Can someone help? If I try to do these they looks different for me because they have a very sharp edge and don't blur with the color, and I tried a lot of brushes.
My Multiply turns my drawing into white. I've tried every tutorial as possible. I didn't have this Problem with Photoshop.

Isn't there any custom made blending brush for krita, just like clip studio paint and ibis paint x? I think krita is just WAY TOO HARD for me to do.. i will switch to clip studio..
