hmm, for some reason, when I tried to do it (just a single part) the whole picture got coloured... is it maybe because of the line art is not 'enclosed'?
@@DavidRevoy Thanks for taking the time to reply. I had the exact same issue trying it out tonight. So I added more colours, and added white back to background where colour had bled out, and it sorted it. Obviously the algorithm gets better as it has more inputs to process. Thank you very much. Amazing tool.
I know this is old, but I am brand new to digital art and was just about tearing my hair out until I found this video! Thank you for being so thorough in your examples! It was super helpful
After you filled it in with those squiggles, and the whole thing was just flatted, it _blew my mind_ . That will make the coloring process _sou_ much easier for me as an Paint Tool Sai user. Thank you for this video though. Mighty helpful it is, especially since I just downloaded Krita 30 min ago. Also, you art style is sick!
I am new to Krita and your tutorials helped me a lot! Now I have to learn how to shade the colorized mask, and look for this previous video. Thank you a lot, you help to make my dreams come pixels.
This wasn't exactly what I was looking for... but, turns out, it was exactly what I needed. I have just taken art back up as a hobby with the possibility to make a little cash on the side, and this has literally just turned a hour long process into a seconds long process!
I've just started learning art this year, and the first I heard of your work was thanks to your (great) brush bundle! Thank you for this and so many other videos you've put out, they're of great help! 💜
Man, that's so cool. I especially love the part where you showed the gaussian blur at the end. I've been having that issue where the color layer is too sharp and doesn't look good against the line art. I can't believe I never thought to add any blur filters to it.
Thank you! On the future video I'll show how to add the blur in a non-destructive way (on the panel with the gaussian blur, you can click on "Create filter mask" then the filter will be dynamic and children of the pixeled color map. This video was already a bit too long to include this tip, and I also wanted to benchmarch first what filter is quicker for that: (Box) Blur or Gaussian Blur. Especially to paint on the top. Here I always used the destructive methods for my comics (when the color map is done, I rarely edit again or use fill tool bucket on it again), but that could be interesting to keep the flexibility of editing until the end of the artwork.
This is such a cool and straight-forward tool! It's especially game changer for beginner digital artist and those, who want to change their workflow to open source tools. So easy, yet powerful. Love it!
I may be a year late with this video but I just got Krita and wanted to learn how to color and the best process for it. THIS TOOL BLEW MY MIND. Not only that, but The blur filter too! Now I know how those artist gets that soft blur effect on their art. I love your art btw, This style was always my favorite.
I already loved the GMIC Colorize technique since I first seen it on this very same channel but this new Colorize Mask is a game changer! And every time I watch one of your videos, I learn some new cool trick under Krita. Thanks a bunch, sir!
Just started using Krita this week, so amazing, your tips like this are revolutionizing my workflow and helping me get back into digital illustration. This is especially useful for speeding up 2D animation process.
im an idiot. ive been crying over coloring of my lineart over the past half a day and now that im done, i see this :) in an idiot and a half... thank you so much for this. this is absolutely amazing. so much i dont know about krita
you have my favourite tutorials for helping me learn digital art, thanks, krita is a bit overwhelming for a beginner but i feel more at ease knowing there are artist like you out there
Very nice and comprehensive. Before watching this video I used to paint over the lineart gaps to fill (often wondering where is the one that causes fill tool to overflow) and had no idea it's way easier with colorize mask. Thank you very much!
I know this is old but thank you for this tutorial. In my 2nd month of using Krita, transitioning to digital art from pen & paper and coloring/shading/highlighting has easily been the thing that seperates my work from reaching that next level. Everything would look fine till I begin coloring. What I had been doing was just using regular brushes and manually doing everything in a paint layer, and only recently realized just how many people use masks tools to color their digital art and knew right away that it was part of what my work is missing. I'm excited to see how my next work comes out after trying this :)
This was EXCELLENT! I'm new to digital art and I'd be pulling my hair out if I was going down the path I was going lol. This saved me so much stress and time! Appreciate you, brother!
Oh my goodness. Thank you so much, this fixes my ONE issue which was coloring in the line art without messing with the lines (by using paint bucket), by outlining every part of the body and then coloring it in, and just a bunch of other stuff that would have ruined the drawing. Thank you for showing me this trick!❤
Thank you so very much for explaining the colorize mask. I've started playing with it on some of my old sketches. . I've just started learning Krita. I have version 5.2.2. Thank you again. Your explanations are very clear.
Whoa dude i was looking for ways to color my sketch as the fill tool was making absolute mess with white outlines and stuff, then i found your video and VIOLA MAGIC! professional grade coloring in minutes. Thankyou!
I have been struggling with lineart and colour for ages and this was the most helpful video I have found by a long shot. Thank you! (I could also listen to your accent all day)
I just found the BEST KRITA Tutorials on TH-cam. I bought a udemy lesson which turned out to be garbage, your tutorials are way better. I appreciate your effort and selflessness. I love your comics too! Thank you so much!
I only recently learned the very basics of clipping masks and with this now in my arsenal, I shall ascend to greater heights! Great vid btw, very informative and straight forward.
Thank you for this. If it wasnt for people like you explaining how software programs work, I think I would never find out out myself and never get the most out of them. 👍👍
Thanks for your time in creating this tutorial. I watched it for the second time today as I was waiting for my Wacom Cintique to arrive. It came during your tutorial, so now I am ready to take the next big step into getting my comic ready to print.
OMG, I've been stuck for so long with the idea that it was a plugin only available on Linux and Windows, and didn't look any further, because I use Krita on a Mac, ah ah ah! :D Thanks A LOT for this tutorial, it's real life saver. David, you're the best!!! :)
J'adore la peinture, elle a une ambiance si paisible. Merci de publier cette vidéo, j'ai vraiment aimé la regarder et cela m'a beaucoup aidé avec la coloration! Really great art series!
I'm just getting started with the Krita so I'm really grabbing all the information I can and every resource I can just so I can learn it. It's kind of complicated but, compared to photoshop but the results are 10 times better.
Just tried it out, so yeah for people wondering why all the picture is one colour, just add more colours input (and add one for the background). The tool seems to work really fine with me ! Thank you for the tutorial (Merci beaucoup ;) )
I love your videos. I got a drawing tablet a few months ago and your videos really motivate me to keep practicing. Keep it up and I look forward to new videos!
I just got back into Krita after a long time being away from digital drawing and this will certainly help me when I'm doing practice pieces I'll be sure to check you more of your tutorials just so I can familiarise myself with it again!
Thanks for the informative tutorial on the tool! I've always been interested in the auto-coloring / GMIC filter and it's nice to learn about what tips you have for properly using it. :D
I usually work with Clip Studio, but I absolutely loved this krita feature. It saves a lot of time and I use both programs for my workflow. Also, I preffer the antialias version to select colors more easily.
Thank you from America! merci. I am just getting into digital art and I absolutely know I can do it, now that I have seen your video. this makes my work so easy!
Sir, you are the best! I love how you are very honest in your teachings and showing your tricks. Honesty, your previous art line before was great to my eyes, i really cant tell any different with the new one bcs im really new at this. Godbless you sir!
😺 Merci pour le retour et compassion pour les longues heures sur le bouclage d'album (je suis en plein de dedans pour le t4 de Pepper&Carrot; avec deadline en Novembre, ça commence à chauffer.) Bon courage!
Thank you David! I didn't even know this feature existed before, I first saw it in your painting time lapse of Pepper and Carrot and thought it looked really cool. It will definitely be useful for me and thanks again for the tutorial :^)
David, Thank You so much for your amazing training videos! Your videos are very helpful for beginner illustrators like me. Please continue your wonderful work!
Thank you for your clear explaination and your french accent, it help me a lot. I'm doing my transition toward Krita and this tool is very impressive. I have just tried it on my last page, i've saved maybe one hour today ;) Thanks you
Normalement, je ne regarde pas les tutoriels, parce que les conseils donnés sont trop détaillés et pas intéressant pour comment je peins. Mais tes idèes et renseignements sont super utiles. Je vais utiliser-les, même que je fais les peintures sans lineart, parce que Colorize Mask va m'aider à teindre mes dessins rugueux avant de commencer à faire mes premiers coups de pinceau. Vraiment, un tutoriel superbe!
Wow, that really cleared things up for me! I was completely mystified by this tool, and Krita's documentation wasn't especially helpful. Thanks so much!
Thank you so much for sharing such a detailed tutorial video on Colorize Mask. I was truggling to find that option for months now..! Very helpful, as usually, and easy to follow :)
hmm, for some reason, when I tried to do it (just a single part) the whole picture got coloured... is it maybe because of the line art is not 'enclosed'?
It's often because you put just a single color; try to put a second one to fill your background. (hard to tell, I can't see your monitor).
@@DavidRevoy Thanks for taking the time to reply. I had the exact same issue trying it out tonight. So I added more colours, and added white back to background where colour had bled out, and it sorted it. Obviously the algorithm gets better as it has more inputs to process.
Thank you very much.
Amazing tool.
@@abobbins Thank you for the feedback, I'll pin this comment on top if it was useful!
Place the color white(make a new layer) on top of ur linearts layer
@@DavidRevoy yes, this was the case, I put second colour for the background and it worked! Thank you so much!
You've saved me several hours of fine detailed work with just a couple brush strokes thank you very much.
THE LINEART, THE COLOURS, YOUR ACCENT, THE CLEAR INSTRUCTIONS, everything is flawless
Thank you!
I know this is old, but I am brand new to digital art and was just about tearing my hair out until I found this video! Thank you for being so thorough in your examples! It was super helpful
Me too, man! I was painstakingly coloring everything manually before!
I can’t be the only one staring at his art and ignoring everything else, it’s breathtaking
After you filled it in with those squiggles, and the whole thing was just flatted, it _blew my mind_ .
That will make the coloring process _sou_ much easier for me as an Paint Tool Sai user.
