PLEASE READ BEFORE COMMENTING! This video was made in 2018, so the version of FireAlpaca I had was an older one! In the newest version as of this time (Version 2.2.10) the 'Correction' is now labeled as 'Stabilizer (Global Settings)'. In the mean time, I would like to thank everyone for the overwhelmingly positive response on this tutorial video. I don't know how it got so many views as of lately, but thank you so much! I noticed a lot of you had follow up questions for the program and some other questions regarding art. I FINALLY made a video addressing the most frequently asked questions.

Thank you very much! For years I've been painting the "old fashioned way" with actual canvasses, brushes, oils and acrylics. I knew I needed to take the leap into the 21st century and learn software drawing/art, but honestly I found it a little intimidating because I'm not a techie.

I am using an XP-Pen tablet. They are like perfectly tuned to Firealpaca. All the button functions will work and it was affordable as well. I wanted a screen tablet and they were a cheap option, but I love it. Mine is the Artist 12, you can turn the screen on and off, in off mode you can still use the tablet like a regular drawing tablet. That was something I really liked. The only downsides were that there is lots of cables for the tablet and that I can't have any other drawing tablet drivers or programs on this laptop at the same time because they will affect each other. But if you have any problems, then their chat service on their website is very helpful. They have helped me out a bunch of times already and always were very nice and patient. They respond quickly, too. (I am not sponsored by them, I just think that they deserve the praise because I love my tablet so much.)
Thank you so much. This was an excellent beginning tutorial. I haven't done much drawing except when I was young and with pencils. I wish to learn this. I'm grateful.
I see... For that it is simple. While using the wand tool, just hold down 'Shift'. Then you'll be able to select multiple areas at once. Hope this helps~!
For moving and scaling an object around: 1) Go to the layer with the object 2) If you wish to move the whole layer around, just press the arrow with the '+' sign thing (It's located right under the word 'Select') 3) If you want to move only a few things from the layer, use any of the select tools, draw around the thing you want to select 4) Then go to the 'Select' option and click 'Transform' (There you'll be able to change the size and move the object around) To copy and paste: 1) Go to the layer you want to copy 2) Use any of the select tools, draw around the thing you want to copy 3) To copy, either: - Go to the 'Edit' option and press 'Copy' or - Press 'Ctrl + C' on your keyboard 4) To paste, either: - Go to the 'Edit' option and press 'Paste' or - Press 'Ctrl + V' on your keyboard Hope this helps~!
@@TheChibChibi omfg I've been using FireAlpaca for over a year and my dumbass didn't know I could press the transform button to make things bigger I feel so dumb LOL
THANKKK YOUUU!!!! I haven't done digital art in a while and I wanted to try it again, but I couldn't buy any new program, and this just helped me soooo much!!! Again thank you!!!
slick vick That may be caused by various reasons. The lag usually is because of the correction option. If you set it too high, it may cause some delays. Try to lower it to the best settings. Actually mine had delays too, but once I used it a bunch of times, it calibrated itself. It may also be because of the CPU. For that, service can fix it or you can download a PC cleaner that is embbeded with a booster driver to help speed it up. It also may be because of the graphic tablet/mouse. Some brands cause a few delays. Hope some of these helped~!
slick vick Ouh that one happens all the time. It will usually go away if you refresh on your desktop. If that doesn't work you'll need to close the program then unplug the tablet and then replug it. Then reopen the program. If that doesn't work, the solution that I always use is that I had no choice but to restart my computer. Sometimes it could also be because of the tablet's drivers. For that you need to refresh the drivers or update them. Hope these may solve some of the issues.
This was such a helpful video tysm!! I downloaded FireAlpaca a few months ago and started using it and I had no idea what half the tools did, so this was great! :D
Thank you so much - you are a true life saver because I am very new - not even an hour under FireAlpaca and I couldn't get much use out of it - however - this tutorial helped me so much. I appreciate what you do.
I know I'm late but this is so helpful! Thank you so much! Usually I'm a bit intimidated by long tutorials but yours was short and very easy to follow :) Thank you~~
Thank you so much for this! I've been looking into using a digital art program on my laptop instead of my tablet (it's always out of charge and then I can't put in my pen tablet 😭) and they all seemed so hard to use as I am used to ibis paint x, this made it so easy!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I haven't drawn digital at all... But I wanted to start. So when I saw a tiktok I thought it was cool but I messed like everything up so, thanks
Thanks for this! The way you explain this makes the program look so convenient. I’ll be getting my own laptop and tablet soon and I will definitely try this out!
To use Onion Skin Mode go to the 'View' tab and click on 'Onion Skin Mode'. Once you draw on one layer, make a new layer then you should be able to see the last drawing colored in a faded red. Proceed by drawing the next frame and carry on from there. To test the animation, go to 'View' again and click on 'Auto Play'. You should have a new window pop-up displaying your animation. You can adjust the speed of the animation at the left corner of the window on the Auto Play window. I might make a tutorial on that soon but for now I hope this helps~!
Thank you for the suggestion! The new video I posted yesterday might be able to help with shading and lighting. I will definitely consider making a specific video going in depth with the subject.
Thank you so much. You speak well for an American to understand, even though I can detect an accent. From which country are you? Thanks again. Wonderful tutorial! I'm new.
Are there any techniques, per se? I mean, is there a way we can get some tips on how to draw rather than just what the tools do? This video was helpful because now I do know what those tools do, but it would be great to learn how to utilize them to their maximum power.
I actually do have a video on that already done. I addressed that recently in my most recent video ( th-cam.com/video/RbWxBFN8E8U/w-d-xo.html ). There are some techniques in the video that I showed that many people asked, but I also mentioned that I will upload a video next week about how to make a full simple artwork from start to finish. Thank you for your comment~!
Great tutorial, thanks for making it! I have a question about making an animation in FireAlpaca. Does this program uses the frame by frame method or does it allows to fill the in-betweens automatically like adobe flash does?
FireAlpaca only uses frame-by-frame and doesn’t have a tweening option. Everything is drawn one by one per each frame. It isn’t so advanced on animation since the main focus is mostly on full art pieces and just simple short gifs. If you want a more advanced but free software for animation specifically, I suggest OpenToonz. OpenToonz is a free animation software that was used to create shows like Futurerama and Spirited Away. Do give it a shot if you’re interested! Also you’re welcome and I’m glad the tutorial helped!
@@TheChibChibi Thank you very much for your answer. I was actually learning to animate Krita at the moment but i will consider your advice with OpenToonz and give it a try. Since the software is capable of doing automatically inbetweenings it looks so promising in a long run. Wish you could make a tutorial series of OpenToonz. It would be nice to learn with your simple and clean instructions. Glad to be a part of your community.
I got this once and had no idea how to use it so I went back to paint 3D I've been using it for years and it's my best choice 😂 Update: I re-downloaded it and I remember why I didn't like it, for some reason it won't let me draw
Very Helpful!! I am working on an outline drawing for clothing prints. Single black color with a lot of open transparent space. I just realized that the black will not be seen on dark clothing, so i need to change my whole image to white. I tried using the paint bucket tool but it is not filling in completely. I get a white line with a grainy black outline. Is there another way i could convert the colors? i also added text in firealpaca but i noticed i cant rotate the text, it is fixed in a horizontal plane. I tried PrtScr key to copy and paste my whole desktop view in another layer and crop that image to my text, but it comes out a little pixelated. Is there another way of rotating my text? Please Help!
I'm so sorry for taking me so long to see this question! OK, so I'm assuming that you are turning this into a PNG correct? It's true that any transparent parts left will turn black instead of white. You'll have to colour it in with a white colour but yes as you mentioned there is a tendency for those pixels to appear. What I suggest is to make a backdrop colour in another colour below all the other layers. Then, fill in the areas with white on a layer below the lineart and make sure the 'Expand' option on the bucket tool (Usually shown in the options bar when you select the bucket) is set to 1 instead on 0 which should solve the problem. There might be still some parts that aren't coloured in but simple draw on those they shouldn't be a lot. Before saving the image, turn off the backdrop by clicking on the circle to make the layer invisible or just delete the layer. As for the text thing, unfortunately text cannot be rotated in FireAlpaca as sad as it is TvT. Therefore I suggest using another program to add text. I sincerely hope this helps~!

hi i have a qwestion how did you select multiplie things with magic wond because mine only selects one thing.(sorry for bad english)
I see... For that it is simple. While using the wand tool, just hold down 'Shift'. Then you'll be able to select multiple areas at once. Hope this helps~!
TheChibChibi thank you so much o and by the way new sub😊
How do you select something to make it bigger or smaller or to move it around? (Like you do at 5:31-5:32)
Edit: Also how do you copy and paste :p
For moving and scaling an object around:
1) Go to the layer with the object
2) If you wish to move the whole layer around, just press the arrow with the '+' sign thing (It's located right under the word 'Select')
3) If you want to move only a few things from the layer, use any of the select tools, draw around the thing you want to select
4) Then go to the 'Select' option and click 'Transform' (There you'll be able to change the size and move the object around)
To copy and paste:
1) Go to the layer you want to copy
2) Use any of the select tools, draw around the thing you want to copy
3) To copy, either:
- Go to the 'Edit' option and press 'Copy'
or
- Press 'Ctrl + C' on your keyboard
4) To paste, either:
- Go to the 'Edit' option and press 'Paste'
or
- Press 'Ctrl + V' on your keyboard
Hope this helps~!

I'm so sorry for taking me so long to see this question!
OK, so I'm assuming that you are turning this into a PNG correct? It's true that any transparent parts left will turn black instead of white. You'll have to colour it in with a white colour but yes as you mentioned there is a tendency for those pixels to appear. What I suggest is to make a backdrop colour in another colour below all the other layers. Then, fill in the areas with white on a layer below the lineart and make sure the 'Expand' option on the bucket tool (Usually shown in the options bar when you select the bucket) is set to 1 instead on 0 which should solve the problem. There might be still some parts that aren't coloured in but simple draw on those they shouldn't be a lot. Before saving the image, turn off the backdrop by clicking on the circle to make the layer invisible or just delete the layer.
As for the text thing, unfortunately text cannot be rotated in FireAlpaca as sad as it is TvT. Therefore I suggest using another program to add text.
I sincerely hope this helps~!
I can't find the stabilizer/correction thing you mentioned, do you know where I can find that?
In fire alpaca it called as Correction at the top bar^^^
