Thank you for such a kind and encouraging comment :)
Bruh she literally just swore

I am now off to watch all of your other videos...
Thank you! I hope you enjoy the rest of the videos too ☺
This is EXACTLY what I have been looking for! Thank you so much! Subscribed.

I am glad you enjoyed the video :)
Thanks a lot for the help!!! I was having some lil troubles making a group of layers but your tutorial helped me!! I'm very thankful
Happy to help! 🙂
This was extremely helpful thanks :D i was having a hard time trying to figure it out myself, so this helps a ton
Happy to help! 💙
You're a God sent! Idk how many tutorials I have to roam through TH-cam to find a specific solution but Thank you!
You are very welcome! I am glad you were able to find the solution 🙂
I've been using Krita for a while now and I didn't even know about the group layers... This is literally so helpful thank you so much!!!
I am glad that the video was helpful! Thank you for watching 🙂
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!! The video helped me the most. You are the best krita guide I've seen.
Thank you!
I enjoy videos that move slowly like this one. I can actually process and learn something easily. Thank you. I learnt about the layer alpha technique,
That is great to know. I am always happy to know that the my tutorials are helpful. Thank you 💙
Thank you so much for your tutorial, i was looking for something like this and this video have the content very clear and precise. Keep doing this kind of videos I love them.
Thank you so much for liking the video. Your feedback always helps me in doing my best. ❤
that crippling layer tip was exactly what i wanted to learn about, thank you!
Happy to help! 🙂 Thank you for watching 😊
life saver, you are a life saver. i was soo frustrated with the transparent layer coming in view when I was painting on background layer. I tried looking at the krita online articles about it and everyone was soooooo unhelpful there. they suggested many weird ways to fix it with lot of technical terms. I ended up cussing few of them. But you just in 5 sec you fixed it. can't thank you enough you restore my faith in humanity and krita application lol.
Thank you for your feedback! I try to cover as much as I possibly can in a video without making it difficult to understand 🙂
thank you so much!!!! it's so helpful and easy to understand!!
Happy to help 😊
Thank you! This is perfect. I've never ever used any digital media and this is a terrific beginning. I've just taken up line drawing during covid and thought I could just colour it in using Krita until my artist daughter commented, "Mum. Have you heard about layers?" Hahah Whaaaaat? So now I know :)
That is so cute! Good luck on your digital art journey. And if you have any questions feel free to ask them. :)
Wonderful job! My 12 years old son is a cartoonist and i introduced him to Krita, which i think is a wonderful program that will certainly help him accelerate his passion in art. We both looked at this tutorial together and it was very explicit and easy to follow. Looking forward to more of your videos on Krita!
Thank you so much! I will be making more tutorials. And feel free to ask any questions that you or your son may have :)
great video - you have grabbed a new student...thank you!

Nice video, your relaxed style makes learning fun too, new to Krita from years of Photoshop use, time to change I think, new sub here
Thank you! I am happy to know that my videos are helpful for you. ☺
@@Drawfishan Thank you :)
thank youuu
I am happy that you found the tutorial helpful :)
comming from Clip studio paint, this helps me so much . gonna take getting used to , since im moving away from clip on mobile ,but still using it on pc XD
Glad to know that the tutorial has been helpful. I have always been curious about clip studio but as I am comfortable with Krita, I never got around to try it.
@@DrawfishanDrawfishan honestly it's not a bad app to use, but i just hate having to pay monthly on my tablet. best on pc with a Perma license
I didn't want to use a paid app as a beginner as I didn't know if I would like digital painting. So free software made much more sense as I was able to explore digital painting as much as I wanted. However, after a while I became very comfortable with Krita so moving to another software didn't cross my mind. Now I recommend Krita not because it is free but for being a very good software in itself. Maybe someday, I will try clip studio. 🙂
thank you
You are very welcome! 🙂
Superb video very nice and relaxed too, thanks new sub
Thank you for watching and subscribing! ❤
eakdum simple me best
Thank you! :)
Oh I get it
Thanks

Thank you so much!

I was wondering if I can make make the upper layer totally cover up the under layer Ex (Hair over head and ears). Especially when animating.
If I don’t color and it’s just black and white, I’d presume it wouldn’t work regardless. But do I have to add color to cover up the under layer so the hair can run over normally, or is there a way to do without?
I don't know much about animation but whatever you paint on the upper layer will cover the drawing beneath. You should look for krita animation tutorial and ask this question. Hopefully, someone will give you a better answer as they would know about animation.
thx
Thank you for watching! :)
Ty for the valuable information, I 👍 & sub u jus wanted to know if background layer can't be painted or even erase then what is the purpose of the background, I mean what situation it is used?
If there is no background layer then there will always be chance for the artist to accidentally painting over the bottom layer and exposing the transparent pixels. Background layer makes sure that you always have the base.
Ty for the reply
No problem 👍
The icons for my layers have been showing up on the bottom of the screen, recently I clicked a small button that made the layers' icons disappear and now I'm not sure how to bring them back.
Could I have some help? Thank you^^
There is an icon on the far right top corner. Right under the close (X) icon. Click on it and select default. Your layout will be restored to original settings.
Hmm..clicking on the transparency button to color only in my layer didn't work. the brush wouldn't do anything. was there an update?
Which version are you using? It should not affect the regular functions of Krita. May I know the brush that you are using or if you are working on the background layer?
please teach animation. and how to move all the contents in all the layers in one single command from one set of keyframes to another set of keyframes. thanks in advance. நன்றி
I will see what I can do about this and start with basic animation tutorials 🙂
@@Drawfishan thanks once again
No problem 😊
If you merge layers into one, does that mean I can put together what I want into one layer and work those items in the layer? I am hoping to do something like that. I need to pull animals from one big drawing and place them onto a page so I can use them for a match game when it is printed out. Can I do this with the merge layer system?
Yes, merging layers makes one layer but if you want to print it you should save the file in either PNG or JPEG
Thank you for your quick reply...needed this for work..awesome!!!
Happy to help ☺️
@@Drawfishan Just to recap the steps, put drawing in layer, then select or clip? the section I want on another layer, then add another layer for another selection or clip, and merge the two layers (or more) together? Should I use the select tool, or copy past, or clip each animal I want off the image? Sorry, just need to figure out the steps right. Long project!
Even if you don't put the drawing in one layer, it will work as during printing you will need a jpeg or png which will automatically merge everything together.
Soo um what should i do if i accidentally delete layer box in krita
Go to settings -- Dockers and click on layers. It will come back.
There isnt an option for layers off on the side for me. Its only colors then brushes. How do i get it there?
Go to settings then Dockers and then select layers. It will be added to your layout :)
@@Drawfishan Thank you so much!!!
No problem :)
The layer docker isnt on the side for me, whats going on?
Maybe it was accidentally closed. Go to settings then dockers and then select layer from there. It will be added to the layout.
please help. im looking at all the tutorials but every time the layers bar is already there, and on mine i dont see it. i dont see a button for it
help
Go to settings, then dockers, then find layers in the options. I think you have closed the layers panel in your krita layout. Hope this helps 🙂
@@Drawfishan tysm!!! i found it :D
Happy to help 😊
@@Drawfishan thanks a lot :3
Happy to help 😄
How do i get layers and brush size my krita became really wonky
If you have closed the layers and brush panels then simply go to Settings then Dockers and in this list locate both layer and brush dockers. Click on each and they will be added to your layout. If you do not know how to resize a brush then hold down Shift key and drag towards you or away from to either decrease or increase the size of the brush.
I apologize for the late reply and hope this helped. 🙂
what if i accidentaly deleted the layer tab. how can i restore it on the right side
Go to Settings --> Dockers then click on layers. It will be restored to your workplace :)
@@Drawfishan thank you so much!
No problem :)
hello my layers dissappeared, how can i turn them on again?
Go to settings then dockers, there you will see layers option, click on it and it will be added to your layout.
what happens if i dont have layers on the side? like me i acidentally deleted it and i dont know how to get it back
Go to settings, then Dockers and then select Layers. It will be added to your layout.
@@Drawfishan thank you so much !!
Happy to help :)
I accidentally did something where before Animation, Onion Skin and the Timeline would appear all together now only one appears and if I want to go to the other selection I have to click on it. How do I go back to where all three selections are together?
On the upper right corner there is an icon three dashes, I believe; click on it and select the animation workspace that will reset the settings. Hope this is helpful
@@Drawfishan That helps, thank you. 😃
I am glad to hear that 😊
@@Drawfishan I couldn't figure it out on my own until I asked for help.😁 Thank you.
I am always happy to help 😊
Thank you so much, but for some reason the layers are not working on my drawing, I am working on a layer and when I move this one in order to be behind the other one it still show the color in front of this one, I do not know what is wrong, if some body know how to solve this problem I will appreciate your help.👍👍🤗🤗
Are you moving the layers? Or selecting the layer under the one that you were painting on?
@@DrawfishanHi, moving the layers, something happened to that file, because I created a new file and the layers are working normally , but for some reason in that one moving the layers does not affect the order they appear.🙄🙄
Ok. See if any of the layer is locked. If it is not then you can try copying layers to a new file. See if this works.
@@Drawfishan 👍👍🤗🤗
I need help please when I draw something I use another layer and then I ink it another layer when I made a third layer to use fill tool all the page get color not inside the ink all the page so when I want to use fill tool I should use it at the same layer I ink it I can’t made a layer I can only fill what inside the last Layer? help me please
Go to tool and options. Scroll down and you will find the option called Sample. Change the settings of Sample from current layer to all layers.
@@Drawfishan thank you so much
:)
@@Drawfishan sorry but where can I find tool all I have is tools and when I click it it come something call scripts and I can’t press on it could you make a video and then delete it if you want please
Make sure that you have fill tool selected and then there is a tab where your color selector is (color wheel) that tab should be labled tool and options. Click on that tab. Scroll down. Sample option should be there. Change it to All Layers.
I dont see the layers tab, only the channels
Go to Settings --> Dockers and then select Layers. It will be added to your layout.
@@Drawfishan Thanks!
No problem :)
how to open a background when it does not open by default
I would advise against unlocking the background layer but if you still want to do it then simply click on the lock icon on that layer. It will unlock background layer.
How do you duplicate a layer ?
In layers panel there is a plus sign which makes new layer right next to that is a sign with two layers on it; that one duplicates the layer.
Your video is great. However, I would like to advise on one thing. Only include your narration in a tutorial; never anything else. Imagine you are in a class and your classmate is playing music. You can't focus on what your teacher is saying. I hope you will accept my input as constructive and not be offended by it. All in all, it's a wonderful tutorial. Thanks.
Light background music helps most of the viewers to concentrate as many comments indicate the same. I include the music for that reason.
And no, I am not offended by comment. It is nice to know that you are looking out for me. Although I can not remove the background music in these videos. I will keep this advice in mind for futur videos :)
hello! what is the background music please?
Let me look into it. I made this video a while ago so it will take me a little time to see what music I used.

@@Drawfishan thank you so much !
@_rubyrose10_ happy to help ☺️
Help Idk how to see my layers, I pressed an x in the list above the layers and now i don't know how to put them back 😔😔😔
Go to settings then Dockers. The layers option would be there select it and it will be added back to the layout.
@@Drawfishan Ok, i"ll try. Thank youuuu ♡
Hope it worked ☺️
I accidentally closed the layer window, how do i open it again?
Go to settings--> dockers--> layers. The window will be restored.
@@Drawfishan it worked. Thank you.
Great! 🙂
@@Drawfishan thank youu so much. I was trying it from whenn ❤️
Happy to help 🙂
i don't know how to move between layers , it keep one of them selcted and couldn't change to others
I have not faced this issue before. Have you checked if the layers are locked?
@@Drawfishan yes , they were unlocked and i couldn't select them to modify em
Send me a video or a screenshot at my Instagram account so I can determine the problem.
@@Drawfishan thank you very much
But not worth the trouble , thank you very much
Ok. No problem.

Can I make a Folder in Krita??
Folder? Do you mean a group? I have shown how to make a group in the tutorial.
@@Drawfishan So that's what's its called ><
Thank you so much >
No problem :)
does anyone know how/if you can restore deleted layers? a couple of my layers disappeared and I don't know how to get them back, if anyone knows please let me know because I put so much time into my painting just for the layers to disappear :(
Did you check the auto save file? Maybe it's in there still. Next to your Krita painting file will be another file with ~ this symbol. Remove it and see if the layers are still there.
@@Drawfishan I looked and I couldn't find anything, thanks for the help though!! :)
That's sad. What will you do now?
@@Drawfishan I've been working on the painting and redoing everything I lost
I hope your painting turns out fantastic 💙
Nice I am zoha
Hahahahaha... acha Zoha.
I can’t draw anything on layer one. It’s just an empty vector layer with no white background
1. Try making a new document maybe the background layer was deleted accidentally. If the problem persists, use fill tool to fill layer one with white color. Then lock the layer.
2. If you still get a vector layer, right click on the layer, select "Convert" and then "Paint layer". Then you will be able to paint on the layer.
Hope this helps ☺
Drawfishan Thanks for the quick response. I found out I just had alpha locked the first layer 🤦
No problem :)
how can i get layers ._.
Go to Settings --> Dockers --> Layers. They will be added to your workspace :)
@@Drawfishan oh ok
How do we move layers now I got the free one-
Click and hold the layer and move it up or down.
@@Drawfishan Kk
:)
Why do you sound like Baljeet from Phineas and Ferb also thx
Who?
A cartoon on Disney channel about two little boys that build lots of fun cool stuff... Baljeet is one of their friends
Nice video! Krita rules, I love it! I make art videos to. Would love some suppory
Thank you for watching. :)
cant you just draw it without making so much layers
It really depends on the artist. There are some times that I can draw on three layers in total but then there are some times that I make 20 plus and still need more. So it really depends the way you are tackling your painting. But when I use a lot of layers, I merge them so that they don't get out of hand. Hope this helps 😊
I don't understand how make layers
Under the layers panel, there is going to be a plus sign, click on it to make a new layer.
@@Drawfishan thanks :)
You're welcome ☺️
are you indian
No.
@@Drawfishan then what authencity. Your accent sounds indian
