If theres anything I didn’t cover in this video or any questions you have, don’t hesitate to let me know!! ^^
* 00:58 Turns out when working in pixels, the resolution shouldn't have much of an effect on lag.
* Also correction for 1:40, I don't recommend working in CMYK from the start as that will limit you to a smaller colour space, so if you want to print something just convert it from RGB to CMYK later! (thank you so much to the person who let me know!!)
I started using Krita too. It's a good photoshop alternative. please checking my videos too. I would like an expert's opinion.
dear lady, i love your video, its very informational.
there is one thing i noticed. you dont seem to understand resolution that well
its true if your resolution is higher on a picture defined by length with in inches or centimeters etc it will be harder for your laptop as it will contain more pixels in that immage then if you had a lower resolution.
however.... you created your image with a with and length defined in pixels.
2000 x 2000 pixels to be correct, when you then have a low or high resolutions is of no concern it will stil be 2000 x 2000 pixels.
your laptop wont go faster or get more laggy of you put a high or low resolution in it.
the 300 people talk about is a resolution of 300 pixels per inch and is more there for printing as mst printers use 300 dots per inch in most prints.
setting your canvas as 300 means it will print out at a certain size.
but as i said you did not define your canvas in a size by inches or centimeters but by 2000 x 2000 pixels
you can have a resolution of 1 or 300000 it will still be 2000 x 2000 pixels for the laptop to work with
your resolution says ppi meaning pixels per inch and that corresponds to your printer dpi meaning dots per inch.
so once you set your canvas to 2000x2000 pixels puttinng a higher or lower number resolution in the box wont change your image quality in any way.
so its better for you to set it to 300 in case you wish to print.
love the video a lot btw. good work, just subscribed
really good video, I hope you make more
Thanks so much, I'm a math prof learning to use a wacom tablet for teaching, but I like art too. This is very helpful, and I looked at several of these. Well done and thank you!
Great video I have a question! What boxes do you check when you save your image and do you save as jpg or png? Would you make a video on this? ^^
I'm a sucker for keyboard shortcuts, so here are all of them listed:
m: mirror image (for proportions)
4: rotate left
6: rotate right
shift+space+drag: more rotation control
5: reset rotation to 0
+ and - : zoom in and out
1: reset zoom
2: zoom to fit page
3: zoom to page width
shift+drag: resize brush
ctrl+click: color pick
thank you for this!!
thankss :)
tyyyy ♥
Much appreciated. :]
This is the most important screenshot I’ve ever taken :)
"start with a really rough sketch" proceeds to draw face that looks better than everything I ever made
"alright, so we're just gonna play a few practice notes here"
*Beethoven's Grosse Fuge commences*
We all start off as kids scribbling with crayons, after that we progress at our own rates. Just keep learning and practicing and don't compare your beginning to someone else's middle. ❤️
I feel ya buddy 💀
Bruh 😂🖐️
I came here to say exactly this XD But it's nice to see someone who is, so to speak, so organically good, and the art just flows, and you feel you can follow, even if my own drawings are way below this one. But that's OK. I love learning and seeing other people's styles.
The tutorial started off great, not only pointing us to the important tools but also explaining why they are important, but after you gave your favourite pencils everything went ridiculously fast and I can only search for other tutorials now to properly understand it.
yeah wtf it went downhill
i thought i was the only one that got totally lost
Oml I slowed it down to x0.25 trying to see what on earth she was clicking to edit everything and it was still too fast 🥲
@@AngeryBee yeah as someone who has used krita for over a year now, this is not a tutorial on how to digitally paint either, as she seems to just color underneath the sketch rather than refining it much or blending? nor is a tutorial on krita. really confused lol.
I'm mixed on this video:
Good: I really like how you talk about setting things up, and navigation. I also like you taking to show & explain your preferred brushes.
Bad: Once you start painting - You speed everything up, and don't show how to do some of the important bits, like how to setup masks in layers.
For the next video, would you mind taking a few to slow down on parts, like masks, layers and other things you're doing, and show how to do that? (For those who are getting started in drawing, not just getting started in Krita.)
yeah right .. thats the most difficult part T_T
I agree! Layers in Krita are not intuitive plus you open a menu which I assume was the brush setting but there is not explanation to what you were changing
She can't reveal everything. At least at once.
She just whizzed through everything. I know how to draw and paint, I just need to know how to do it on krita 💀
The thing where she's straightening her lines up, I'm like YES, THAT! HOW DO I DO THAT!? 😂 But she wizzed by it like it wasn't important.
Her messy sketch is more perfect than what I'll be able to do in my entire life.
You can do it!
Not if you trust in your own process
@@Mangoo88 I don't so I won't
@@Hart8 alright that is your choice
@@Mangoo88 Not my choice if I didn't choose it and can't do anything about it. It's just like telling people with arachnophobia that it's their choice to be scared by spiders
that moment when you are actually taking notes from a youtube video.
that's something i've done a few times, and i'm glad there's someone else. i just really wanna learn this mannnnnn
I literally wrote sooo much down from this video
Your 1000th like ;))
OMG!! I was doing just that and was thinking that i'm either too sincere or an idiot and came across this comment. Thanks for letting me know i'm not alone. ( And I think it also shows how awesome this video is!)
Your right....Starts writing notes 📝
I didn't comment at the time but this helped me last year so much. One of the best tutorials I've seen. Lots of info and easy and interesting to watch. Tysm
Yeah, this video was really helpful!
i like how your "sketchy and loose" sketch is 1000x cleaner than my "clean" sketching ability oops
I may need to work on that
mmm ok just draw it "messy" 9:33
proceeds to draw a masterpiece
IKR 😭
it becomes messy because you begin sketching without thought
Fr 😭😭😭
I can't believe that someone precisely published a digital tutorial on the exact program that i'm using as a starter in 2020 and 2021. :o
Same
same tho
Me too. Well giving it another go. Now that I have a drawing tablet. Before i only had a mouse . It was horrible.
me in 2022
I’ve been using Krita for the past year now (I’ve never done digital drawing prior to using Krita), and even after using the program for so long your video still taught me things I didn’t know yet! Thank you so much for making this video ✨
Dynamite tutorial for a advanced or beginner digital painters. I am sure I will watch this over and over again getting more and more out of it every time I get stuck and/or progress. Thank you.
For some reason I have no motivation to draw and I’m really sad but I’m watching your videos for motivation
Oh no, I'm really sorry to hear that!! 😞 I really hope you feel better soon and your motivation comes back!! 💖
Jenna Drawing thank you :[
Hope you'll get better and find that motivation. Try to come back to the things that made you have interest in drawing at the first place.
Totham thank you ☺️
RobinPie
I find motivation by drawing the things i like- i mean uhm like my otp’s, my oc’s.. when that doesn’t work, i choose my favorite event from that day (yesterday i drew something with stormy weather) and make it a whole story-like art.
i hope that works for you :(
Good luck :))
I just started working with krita. This is going to help me alot. Thank you!!
Ahh awesome!! I really hope you find this useful!! 💖
@@JennaDrawing Definitely! Im glad youre back, I admire your art💓

Your painting is amazing!! Thanks for sharing your pro tips. I love Krita and the people behind making digital painting, accessible to all!
I was having really bad problems with pen lag and gave up on using Krita on my newish computer, but your second tip on the trilinear filtering seems to have fixed it! It's now running even smoother than I expected, so thank you!
"1st step is to start with really rough sketch" me like wHat?!
Imma just draw a rought sketch of team snakemouth from bug fables as they are not too hard to draw
So glad you’re back! I missed you and your art! 💕
Aw thank you for your lovely comment, I’m so happy to be back making videos again!! 💖
Jenna Drawing I’m really excited to watch your videos too! I admire your art and you’re a huge inspiration to me!💕💕
I’m still very new to art in the grand scheme of things (still just under a year!) and I use krita- clicked on this to see how much I’m missing out on and was so heartwarmed to see so many things I do incorporated into the list. Makes me feel good- I’m actually on the right path. ❤️ the painting was gorgeous, by the way!
The Best BEGINNER FRIENDLY Krita Tutorial I've found so far. Thank You!!!!!!!!
OMG perfect timing I was just using Krita (more like attempting to use it) yesterday and all of my work ended up deleting itself after I saved it. And it was actually a drawing I was proud of because I have no idea how to use Krita, so this is the best timing ever. I can finally learn how to use Krita properly and get taught by one of my favorite TH-camrs 🙌💖🎉
Awww thank you so much, I really hope you find this helpful!! 💖
@@JennaDrawing 💗😱✨ I did. Thank you so much for answering me!
oh hey annus
@@quibblemellow Memento Mori
@@yikes2599 :] Memento mori my friend
JENNA!💕 - Welcome back! I haven't touched Krita in a hot minute, definitely will be using this tutorial if I decide to give it a go again! ^^
Aaa thank you Zoë!! 💖 happy to be posting again! ^^
@@JennaDrawing Can't wait to see more! :D
Thank you for this overview, got my tablet in today and have been doodling quite a bit to get a hang of things. Your video helped me narrow down what to try first.
Love the painting, it’s amazing! Thanks for making the video. It was very helpful!
Thank you. I just got my very first digital tablet and felt so completely overwhelmed since all my art up until this point has been hand drawn/painted. Your video helped me feel much better and a lot less scared. So I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU!
That favourite brush part is soooo welcome! Thanks for that! For beginner like me (literally bought the tablet 2 hours ago) the amount of power those programs have is a bit overwhelming so simplification helps a lot!
For some reason I can't find any of the brushes she uses in the default version
Recently got into digital art myself and this video was very helpful. The tags and the brushes you used really did help me. Thankyou so much! :D
Insane digital painting. Really love the use of contrast and techniques too.
7:40 and here I was struggling my butt of with wobbly lines for my lineart😭😭this one tip most likely saved me from giving up. THANK YOUUU❤️❤️
random but love the pfp
@@ellie-qp6fo love yours too!!
Excuse me ^^ I really need to know this preference! cuz I couldn't see it name well ^^''
How is your rough sketch 10x better than my full attempt at the artwork 😭😭😭
I very much appreciate you showing us what you know. Coming from someone who doesn't do digital art barely at all, I was pretty much able to keep up with everything up to the brush selection. After that, your method of how to draw/paint makes me want to have more detailed tutorials covering all that.
Thank you so, so much for this incredibly helpful tutorial!! ❤ I've just started practising with Krita, and it's been pretty overwhelming. You've really narrowed it down to the most essential functions, and I'm feeling a lot more confident now! 😊 Thank you!
me - draws smile emoji, "not that baaad"
jenna - draws amazing art, "i couldve done better"
Friendly reminder she started in 2012. Some ppl thinks it's talent. But I honestly think talent only ignite your passion. It is up to your love for it and determination of self-improving that will maintain that flame.
It's honestly amazing how many options there are now for digital art. Solid tutorials like this are a great resource for anyone just learning the basics of each. Great channel. Kudos!🙂

This is a very helpful tutorial. I am mainly a photographer and artist for digital art with experience in pen & paper works. All my work is made with trackball and keyboard, but I got me a drawing tablet recently. Right now I am in the process of testing programs for DTs and Krita was my first choice, since it's free. Your tutorial helps a lot getting into it. Thank You!
came to this tutorial to learn about photoshop and glad I saw your video. Thank you so much for uploading! Learned some great tips!
Jenna your work is very inspiring I'm 29 and wanted to get into digital art when I was a teen but it was so expensive now it's much more affordable and I'm able to do it. I almost feel like it's too late because of how old I am but your videos are getting my head out of the gutter thank you for inspiring me.
Age has nothing to do with art. If you feel happy doing it then go for it
the best tutorial I've ever seen, you are so organized thank you so much 💖
This is by far the most important video I've ever seen in my life, thank you so much!
Whoever disliked this was jealous of her skill.
i disliked it because she didn't tell us anything on how to actually paint in krita - she just talked about brushes. shes very talented - but this is not a tutorial
@@rachelfoss9447 She ain't wrong tho, painting is not program specific. If she's mentioning a software, she's most probably gonna talk about it only.
/the dislike button being now disabled/ 💀
This was SUPER helpful. I'm coming back to illustration again after TWENTY YEARS of not doing it at all. Learning to use digital tools is a game-changer!
This was a great tutorial, I had never even heard of this program until now, and instantly downloaded it. Great job
I'm brand new to digital drawing and this is amazing! Thank you!!
I've never used the clipping mask button ... its like 5 steps fewer than my routine for shading... I'm happy to have found it but I'VE BEEN USING KRITA FOR YEARS .... Welcome to digital art I guess😅. I'm trying to get more into paining as opposed to my old style of line-art and coloring, and this tutorial helped a lot!
Professional artist: draws good sketch after years of practice
unfunny commenters with nothing interesting to say: OMG!!! HER SKETCH IS BETTER THAN MY WHOLE PIECE
OMFG..! IKRRRR
I agree 100%. Get ready for the hurt boys though.
i get quite annoyed when i see comments like
OMG HER DRAWING IS SO GOOD I CANT EVEN DRAW A STICKMAN!!
its not like anyone is born with skills , every can draw if they wanted to.
@@shroomy_ yea
True
Thank you for your tutorial it really helped a lot because certain things like the selecting brush i was overwhelmed by selection of brushes,it actually helped me out to figure out that and keyboard shortcuts ....
This is the beat tutorial ever i couldnt find tutorial anywhere that i understood and was helpfull please do more vedios like this i think you are really great at it
This was really helpful! I've just gotten back into digital art and downloaded Krita and this video helped me get my bearings. Definitely subscribing and I'll be checking out your other videos! :D
I wish there had been this type of help when I was learning digital Art, you do such a fantastic job explaining the ins and outs of this program! and in so many of your other videos Wonderfully done! I hope you have continued success and please take care and be safe out there!
Thank you so much, that means a lot!! ☺
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I bought my graphic monitor long ago and never really touched it until now and thanks to you.
Superb video!! It helped me a ton about painting. You showed very important settings and those were all I needed. Appreciate it, subbed!💜
So helpful, thank you!
I'd love a more detailed tutorial on layer masks and the blending modes you use for shading and highlights :)
I love all the texture you were able to add to this painting! I was really mesmerized by the highlights in the fabric of her overalls, it looks awesome! The spotty lighting fits the mood so well, too. Thanks for all the tips for this program! I haven't tried it yet but I do keep recommending it when people ask about free drawing programs.
I really appreciate this tutorial. I came here out of frustration with Pixlr. The poster is clear, concise, not self-aggrandizing, humble (shows a rendition she regrets), not a hawker, and emotes general goodwill. I'm excited to try this, and I hope other presenters follow your example.
Krita n00b here. Thankyou soooo much for this vid - absolutely invaluable!
IVE NEEDED THIS OMG
Krita has been one of my comfort painting programmes for a while, I just really adore the brushes.
Something that I would find super helpful would be a sort of more in-depth video on digital colour picking, like picking colours that look nice, picking colours for shadows and for lighting, making all the colours work together, making it look somewhat realistic without the colours looking muddy, stuff like that. For some reason this is something I struggle with a lot digitally even when sticking to the basic 'rules', while I'm doing fine with it with traditional art.
I agree ♥️ lighting and color harmony
Every minute of this was worth it. That end result, was just 🤯
thank you, I even didn't figure out you could draw with an airbrush! Quick and clear, that's what describe best your videos. Very cool!
I love krita ! its one of my favorite drawing programs and it's second only to CSP for me
Same it’s so great!! I bought CSP not too long ago and I’m so excited to try it out!! :D
@@JennaDrawing , if would be to chose between CSP and Krita, which of them would you recommend more ? Thank you.
Hello Jenna. I found your tutorial extremely informative. Painting isn't my gift. I'm really a crafter. I turned to your tutorial because I'm interested in finding a graphics program to make designs for my stencils. As you can probably guess, I've never used a digital art program either. I really appreciate the tips you shared about Krita. I've downloaded it and am learning to use it.
thank you soooo much i recently switched from photoshop to krita and this was really helpful!
thx for all the tips! really well explain and nice drawing :) keep up the good work!
This is probably the best "Art software for beginners tutorial" that I've ever seen!!!
Thank you for making this tutorial, I just got a tablet and was looking for some. Just on time!
Just got a Wacom pad from my children and downloaded Krita - had a play, went online, found this video. Wow! You’ve definitely inspired me. Amazing artwork and commentary
Hiya Jenna, I know this is a few years old now, but this is the best instruction video I've found for Krita. Although there is a few good ones out there, none of them have such a clear way of description and all the little side notes and tips and tricks you talk about along the way are excellent. Thank you for helping an old dog learn new tricks.
Yasss! Finally another video, I was waiting for a month...
K, im watching this even tho i dont use *Krita* I use *Procreate*
Same
It's so sad, your videos weren't available when I needed them. I'm so glad I can watch thisss. This will help so many people.
I JUST started drawing on krita and the advice that you gave was very very helpful for me. thx
Hi! I am new to krita and this video has helped me navigate through the software so much. Thank you!✨
Anyone here because clip studio is becoming a subscription platform?
Wow I have Krita and this would very helpful! Thank you!
Excellent and amazing tutorial. I am just starting out with digital painting so this is very helpful and inspirational. You are a very talented artist.
Thanks for your video!
side note I love at the end how you care about us taking care of ourselves.
SELF CARE IS IMPORTANT
Ooo this is super helpful, my photoshop trial just ran out and I can’t afford to pay for the subscription - so I can’t wait to try out Krita!! Thanks Jenna!
Such a beautiful final piece! Your improvement is incredible!
This has saved my soul. THANK YOU!
The hair and the highlights are absolutely gorgeous!
Thank you for the tools :D
Thanks for this. I'm a drawer in my 50s. It's time to grow and learn new technology, and this tutorial is a vital tool for me. Well taught, madam.
Thanks Jenna, tried out your current favourite brushes, makes life a lot easier
This is one of the best tutorials I've watched in my life 😭❤️
Aaaahh she has returned!!! Also this will totally improve my art like as a Krita user
This is so helpful. Thank you!♥️♥️
Thank you for this video! I've wanted to get into digital art for a long time although it is kinda intimidating. This helps.
Hi Jenna, thanks for wonderful tutorial, I'm late for watching this video but I must say you did a fantastic job in a making video & Digital art. As this is my first video of Krita thank you for the video I really enjoy it a lot.
Thanks once again
Great work, Im finding it difficult to transition into digital art after working with real paint and canvas for so long, it’s nice to get a fresh perspective on things, the adorable Aussie accent definitely hooked me.
I'm just starting digital art, thank you so much for this video.
You're very welcome! I hope you find this useful! :)
this video helped me sooooo much thanks. I needed a good tutorial like this.
Yesterday I started with Krita and this my searching tour for tips and tricks in TH-cam. Wonderful painting! ❤❤❤
omg it's like you read my mind JDBFJFKSKJD I JUS TRIED DOWNLOADING IT YESTERDAY 🥺 THANK YOUU
Nice tutorial! This is gonna help me paint!
About a year ago I got a drawing tablet for Christmas and down loaded this program this helped a lot more thanks for making this video
I’ve been wanting to get into digital art but I haven’t been able to find a good program. This is literally the only video that helped thank you
getting started
"ok I dont really know this seems ovewhelming, let's add the brushes she recommends"
*none are there any more*
"well fuck it I guess"
She has a link to imgur in the description of this video. It shoes you how to go into the settings and activate the krita 3 brushes that she recommended. Hope this helps. I thought the same thing at first lol.

Thank you sooo much ,Still I need help with few things actually 😅 .
I am really bad at colouring things and blending , can u give some tips , also I don't understood clipping layer so that colours won't go outside object and also how I can overlay shadows or other details over other things , please help .😓
I m bad at colouring as well lol
Thank you so much for the video. I am working on a digital art gallery for college. This helped a lot to deal with kirta.
