Hi and thank you @Fogheart for the music and for commenting here! Your song Hanami Matsuri ( freemusicarchive.org/music/Fabian_Measures/Hanami/Hanami_Matsuri_ ) really capture something I love and I can find on RPG Japanese game when I was a kid. It's soft, entertaining, has a innocent and pure feeling to it. That's also what I'm working on with Pepper&Carrot. I hope you'll continue to produce such beautiful jewels, you have a fan :-) Thanks again for re-sharing it under CC-By license.
I love how Pepper’s character sheet has her with her hands behind her back like she’s posing purposefully for a character sheet. I might use that if that’s okay. Also I love the storybook style of colouring you do, I’m hoping to do something for my comic, finding the right style is proving to be a journey.
There is so much to appreciate about this process. I find myself very inspired by the video--well, your entire portfolio, really. Truly, you are one of my idols. Merci beaucoup pour l'inspiration, Monsieur Revoy!
I'm right now in finishing the page 6 of this episode, it is almost midnight, I'll have to paint till 3am and I'm exhausted. But receiving your nice words helps me to make this last pass of polishing with a smile. Thank you.
Bravo pour votre travail tant graphique que scénaristique d'ailleurs. Merci de m'avoir fait découvrir Krita qui semble être un superbe opensource. Et merci de partager des instants de travail qui donnent des idées et envie de progresser.
Just stumbled upon your channel while searching for comic making process videos. Absolutely love your artwork and the style, as well as the vivid colors used in this video. Keep up the great work!
I'm brazilian and finished to watch a video that you made an approximately two years ago. In that video, you ask apologize for your english and now I will have to make apologize for my english too kkkkkk. But I had to comment for congratulate you for the spetacular work that you will making with Krita!!!
@@DavidRevoy Really nice indeed. How do you do this palette/model-sheet thingie? Is it just the canvas that's larger, beyond the page, and it's on a normal layer somewhere, or is it some other thing?
@@petitio_principii It's a 'references' in Krita that I added with the reference tool. You can read about it in the doc: docs.krita.org/en/reference_manual/tools/reference_images_tool.html ; it adds a picture on the side of your artwork and you can pick color from it, move it, resize, etc. Convenient.
@@DavidRevoy thanks. I didn't know "reference images" on Krita could be set up as "floating" images above the "canvas area", I thought they were either necessarily on dockers, or floating with its own window, with all the standard "window decorations", not as if it was like a "standalone" object floating around outside the canvas, like in Inskcape.
@@petitio_principii Yes, that's because it is a pretty new feature that was added on the way of Krita 4.1 and probably the Krita team was too shy to promote this feature. It's a really nice one. That give me ideas for a next video.
So many good things to take away from this.... like the two steps: Getting the amount of light/darkness right before introducing colors... and the cute color palette :3
J'adore vraiment se que vous faites, vos illustrations sont juste magnifiques Je viens tout juste d'avoir ma première tablette graphique la semaine dernière pour mon anniv qui est aujourd'hui et j'utilise Krita et pour l'instant je galère surtout pour la colo comme je commence tout juste, du coup je vais m'aider de vos vidéos comme des tutos et je pense que ça va beaucoup m'aider, en tout cas j'ai hâte de voir vos prochaines vidéo avec impatience car j'aime vraiment se que vous faites :D
Merci pour le retour et bon courage pour les débuts à la tablette graphique! C'est très frustrant dans les débuts ( la tablette, le logiciel) car rien ne va comme on veut. C'est normale si ça provoque ça mais ça vaut le coup de s'accrocher et de prendre le temps de s'y habituer car ça devient après quelques temps un bel instrument d'expression.
Merci c'est magnifique ! Je me demande toujours comment tu arrives à passer autant de temps sur une page de BD... en tout cas c'est fascinant et tout à ton honneur
Merci! Pour le temps, tout est relatif: je viens des films d'animations où passer une semaine sur un 'plan' c'est rien. Alors pouvoir passer que 25h par page ne me fait pas peur. L'essentiel est que j'arrive à avoir le rendu et l'ambiance que j'ai en tête. Après, c'est certains que pour ceux qui sont contraints à la loi du marché, aux éditeurs qui pousse au productivisme et à réduire la qualité je dois paraître un peu en décallage. C'est l'avantage de Pepper&Carrot :-)
Ah oui c'est sûr que venant de l'animation je peux comprendre ! Ça a dû beaucoup t'apporter en tout cas, tes ambiances rendent parfaitement bien :) Continue de nous faire rêver avec tes histoires farfelues, j'adore
Thank you Makan, Yes, I enjoy detailing the artwork in black and white recently. I can control the acting of character and pose a bit better this way and get cleaner result. But the recoloring is always a bit tweaky. Many adjustment with multiply/color/overlay layer. I'm working on finding something to simplify the process and get similar colors result over a long sequence of panels.
For Photoshop, usually artist use Gradient Map combined with color filter, but every program is different, maybe we can use the same approach for Krita.
Great stuff! Thanks again for sharing some of your process. I have a few questions, if you don't mind... ^^ I see you still use your homebrew guidelines for getting perspective right and so on. Which works fine, of course. I was wondering if you've tried using the new horizon tool that has those kinds of guides built in? Did you find it didn't do what you needed it to, or do you just prefer your method? At 4:36, it looks like you're painting onto a Multiply layer. It doesn't look like you do that with the other colouring steps. I guess it works because behind it is white anyway... Was this a mistake, or is there something colouring on a multiply layer gives you? I noticed you're use of the new reference docker for colour selection. Very cool. Do you use that same reference for all your work, to give things a unifying look?
Hi Thomas! Thank you for the comment. Yes, I'm not using yet the new grid ability of the Assistant preview but I'm testing it with the developer Scott Petrovic. I would use them for a single illustration; but i still need a feature (on the roadmap) to add 'container' to the grid when working on the page with multiple panel. Assistant are nice, but they were developped for single artwork/illustration, and as soon as you mix two or more perspective system with them it is really hard to manage. So I'm waiting containers , or assistant layers to can hide a system and display another one at will :) For the various technique of colorisation; yes, that was the purpose of finishing this page 1 from start to end: because I was hesitant between shading in grey then color OR painting contrasted line art and recolor on top with multiply etc.... So far I saw pro and cons. I'm still a bit mixed ; I have the 25h of videos to cut and see how much time I spent and how messy or clean the two process were. For sure, both had necessary adjustement and paint-over. Yes, the reference docker is the one I used across previous episode to keep the key color of my character around the canvas. It was designed for the exref docker; but works perfectly with the new reference feature. I plan to make it thinner in the future so I can keep it along the canvas for all my pages.
Ah--that makes sense. I can see how it could get frustrating. Though as far as I know, I think you can show/hide individual assistants. So with a few clicks, you can turn off all the assistants for one panel and then show them all for another panel. Maybe you mean multiple with one click... Ooh--I'll be interested to see that comparison if/when you post it!
Thanks! I have an old Dell Vostro PC tower from 2010 with - Processor : Intel® Core™ i7 CPU 870 , 2.93GHz × 8 - Memory : 16GB - Graphics : Nvidia GeForce GTX 650 Ti I'm currently on Kubuntu 19.10 and I'll upgrade to 20.04 after release of my episode 33 of Pepper&Carrot.
Thanks! Yes, I'm part of the Krita team (as a external beta-tester , not a dev) since around 2011; the easter egg for Xmas is a present Krita team offered to me.
Would you mind telling me which version of Krita you are using, please? And for a beginner, which version of Krita should I use to follow your tutorial? Is "Keys to Drawing" a good book for starting out as a self-taught artist?
I used on this episode of Pepper & Carrot Krita 4.1 appimage on Kubuntu Linux. If you don't use Linux, you can try an adaptation for your system, but I don't think they are all the same quality. They depends the type of tablet you have, the graphic card, the system, the processor. What might work like a breeze on someone computer might be full of bugs and random on someone else... (unfortunately). You can find the books I recommend and a tutorial for Krita ( a bit outdated, but it still teach the essential) here: www.davidrevoy.com/categorie17/tutorials-beginner
wow cool, may i ask you questions? what is shortcut to mirror the image and how to make the color selector become square, mine is triangle? thank you very much :D
Thanks! The shortcut to switch to mirror viewport is "M" ; for the color-selector, you can configure it ; you'll see Krita offer a big choice of Color selector shape (an icon is on the corner of the color selector). What I like with the square one is the value is a vertical edge so it is easier for me to pick a valued color and get a rough idea of the percent of luminosity in the shade.
Is curious the star of the painting on black, white and grey tones, then adding colors, is this a common norm for things like coloring or just a tool like many others for an artist?.
It's a classic painting technique, with root beyond the 15th century; The grisaille underpainting ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grisaille ). This approach is linked to a specificity of the human eye: we all respond quicker to value (shade from white to black) than to color to read and detect shapes. (That's why b&w photo and TV were for long time standard without making any problem to the audience to enjoy the contents) For painter: getting rid of grey value issue before coloring can be the possibility to simplify the problem when building the volume of the painting and focus on anatomy, volume, perspective without all the chromatic depth and problems on the way. That's why :)
I have the raw 25h of recording, but it is a bit too long. I reduced it to 25h = 25min on a file, but it is boring. That's why I made all the cut to get that done in under 7 minutes. I'll share tips on a next one, when I 'll feel more confortable with the workflow I have in this video. I have a full episode ahead to train :P
Hey David. You are an inspiration to me. You developed such great skill AND made this great looking art with krita! For some reason I cant let go photosop, it feels like home to me.. ,haha Did you count how much time you spent on this piece?
Hi Mikhail: thank you for sharing this cool feedback! Don't worry if you feel more comfortable with Photoshop, there is no wrongness into it. The most important is to create art and be in harmony with it (I was a Photoshop teacher in CGart school during years!) I switched to 100% Open-Source because I had bad relation with Adobe (they screwed Photoshop Cs2 to Cs3 at the Windows Vista era, and asked every professional to pay a update pack at 399€ for that. Also, they didn't wanted me to switch lang of Photoshop I paid 799€ at that time. I was forced to keep it in French and that was a issue for doing tutorial in English for a magazine, 3DTotal at that time). That's why I felt I wasn't in control anymore of my tool, but they controled me. I'm happy about the years I put into beta-testing, bug-reporting, advocating software like Gimp, Mypaint and Krita. I'm also super happy about the success it get more and more and financial support from all over the world. Building a non-profit common tool is the ultimate project for all artist to get freedom from company :3
Thanks for reply. I am not using krita, because it had troubles to work with my tablet. But I think I solved this issue. so now I am ready! I recently found out that you made these brushes that are in krita right now, and wanted to tell that they are the best. Actually better for me than kyles in photoshop. thank you. can I bother you with 1 last question? what brush do you use for lineart? thanks.
For the Line-art I'm using B) Basic-6-Detail ( icon: a red thin brush). It is a bit half transparency, but I paint my line art more than I trace them. I like to keep light grey around, as I would do with shading a bit with a pencil :)
Bonjour, elle fait partie de Krita depuis 2018; docs.krita.org/en/reference_manual/krita_4_preset_bundle.html?highlight=brush%20preset (dans la partie 'dry painting', l'icone à changer.
Hi! No, it is not building in Krita. It is just drag and drop on canvas of transparent PNG picture of stars I made with Inkscape. I made various grids ready to drag and drop and deform for my needs. Krita has a feature for perspective (in vanishing point assistant) but it support only single artwork; not comic pages with multi perspective systems.
bonjour j'ai regardé plusieurs de tes vidéo et j'utilise aussi krita mais j'ai pas l'impression que l'on puisse faire des peinture réaliste (environnement,portrait...) j'ai plus l'impression que krita force a avoir un style plus cartoon , aurais tu des conseils a me donner ? ;)
Bonjour, merci! Non, Krita peut tout a fait aller dans le réaliste. Ca dépends uniquement des artistes et de la technique utilisé et style perso. Pour du conseil en peinture réaliste; je conseil les ouvrages de James Gurney en peinture à l'huile; la théorie reste la même.
Hi, I don't trust Huion. I bought a tablet from them and the driver quality was just bad. You can read it on my blog ( davidrevoy.com ). Good luck finding a good tablet.
David Revoy I read your blog regularly. Which then pops another enquiry. The 'bad driver' that you are experiencing, specifically for linux? or this includes Microsoft windows as well?
It is mainly about Linux; I can't tell for Windows as I don't own this operating system on any PC at home since 9 years now. I can't tell if it will behave well or badly. Sorry for not being able to help.
For you to reply my enquiry is already a big help, and a very nice gesture. I really admire your works and aspire to be as good as you... I wish you all the best Mr. Revoy
I'm re-reading: sorry if my first answer was a bit off-topic; It was late at evening yesterday and I probably overread the "(windows)" you added at the end of your question. Your question was really clear! Thanks for your nice words, and good luck on your art quest!
I have the sources of this video; 25h without audio, real-time. I could upload, but honestly, I find it very boring. The short version here contains the same amount of information about the workflow and strategy I use to make this comic page. Do you think a longer version would help? About what step mainly?
because so many part I want to know.. how do you blending, color selection, setting color, perspective, setting page, step by step from sketching to coloring (painting), what brush u use to drawing tree, how you setting that brush, and many more.. Full version no skip, no editing, no music ( I can play some music by myself ), because timelapse will remove some parts which I might need.. Thanks before..
Hey, this is a mode you can activate in the settings of Krita; the default is "tab" the one I use is "subwindows" ; I think I show it on the start of the video on my channel about a comic page from A to Z. Also, krita official documentation (F1 while in Krita) has a page for more infos about subwindows if you enter that in the search field.
@@DavidRevoy Thank you! I have Krita on my computer, but I'm so confused with some options that I would like to start my anime art, and draw with a mouse makes it difficult.
Yes :) But using them has a big impact on the performances (FPS of the canvas) and can't be limited to a single panel (it takes the full document). Also, magnet/snapping is the best way to kill the life of a line; I have enough accuracy with my hand to not envy a magnet/snap to grid feature. That's why I use my old manual grid. Bonus: I can still open my 10 year old Krita files with my grid; not sure painting assistants from10 years ago still opens. That's why I'll probably keep using manual grid on layer. But I follow development of perspective/assistant. I even proposed a big mockup in 2013. See: www.davidrevoy.com/article159/design-ideas-for-a-new-krita-perspective-tool and phabricator.kde.org/T13380 if you want to keep info on the topic. Thanks!
Hi, It is a classic drawing/painting technique (using a real mirror). A fundamental. One of the issue with the human brain is this one "fix for you" a picture if you look long enough it. That's why beginners do portrait with eyes going crazy in corner and big deformation and are often really happy with it. Because their brain fix the deformations. To trick the brain; flipping the artwork in a mirror has an effect on brain: for a split second; the brain can't auto-fix the issue, and the artist can spot all the errors as like watching an artwork saw for the first time. A precious device. On Krita , the "M" key mirror the canvas.
Won't pretend to understand all the cool stuff you're doing her, but thank you for pairing my music with such a lovely artwork :D

799€ at that time. I was forced to keep it in French and that was a
issue for doing tutorial in English for a magazine, 3DTotal at that time).
That's why I felt I wasn't in control anymore of my tool, but they
controled me. I'm happy about the years I put into beta-testing,
bug-reporting, advocating software like Gimp, Mypaint and Krita. I'm
also super happy about the success it get more and more and financial
support from all over the world. Building a non-profit common tool
is the ultimate project for all artist to get freedom from company :3
Thanks for reply. I am not using krita, because it had troubles to work with my tablet. But I think I solved this issue. so now I am ready!
I recently found out that you made these brushes that are in krita right now, and wanted to tell that they are the best. Actually better for me than kyles in photoshop. thank you.
can I bother you with 1 last question? what brush do you use for lineart?
thanks.
For the Line-art I'm using B) Basic-6-Detail ( icon: a red thin brush). It is a bit half transparency, but I paint my line art more than I trace them. I like to keep light grey around, as I would do with shading a bit with a pencil :)
Comment puis-je trouver le brush que vous utilisez: bristles 2 flat rough etc? J'aimerais bien l'utiliser! Merci!
Bonjour, elle fait partie de Krita depuis 2018; docs.krita.org/en/reference_manual/krita_4_preset_bundle.html?highlight=brush%20preset (dans la partie 'dry painting', l'icone à changer.
@@DavidRevoy MERCI BEAUCOUP!
hope u read, hey i was wondering how did u made the perspective layers? is that part of krita program? n if it is were i can find it? thnx
Hi! No, it is not building in Krita. It is just drag and drop on canvas of transparent PNG picture of stars I made with Inkscape. I made various grids ready to drag and drop and deform for my needs. Krita has a feature for perspective (in vanishing point assistant) but it support only single artwork; not comic pages with multi perspective systems.
@@DavidRevoy thnx for the reply i am learning a lot of stuff thnx to your channel keep i up! :)
bonjour j'ai regardé plusieurs de tes vidéo et j'utilise aussi krita mais j'ai pas l'impression que l'on puisse faire des peinture réaliste (environnement,portrait...) j'ai plus l'impression que krita force a avoir un style plus cartoon , aurais tu des conseils a me donner ? ;)
Bonjour, merci! Non, Krita peut tout a fait aller dans le réaliste. Ca dépends uniquement des artistes et de la technique utilisé et style perso. Pour du conseil en peinture réaliste; je conseil les ouvrages de James Gurney en peinture à l'huile; la théorie reste la même.
Cool
Dear Mr. Revoy,
I am a beginner who is just starting digital illustration.
I would like to ask, would a huion kamvas 191 work with krita? (windows)
Hi, I don't trust Huion. I bought a tablet from them and the driver quality was just bad. You can read it on my blog ( davidrevoy.com ). Good luck finding a good tablet.
David Revoy I read your blog regularly. Which then pops another enquiry. The 'bad driver' that you are experiencing, specifically for linux? or this includes Microsoft windows as well?
It is mainly about Linux; I can't tell for Windows as I don't own this operating system on any PC at home since 9 years now. I can't tell if it will behave well or badly. Sorry for not being able to help.
For you to reply my enquiry is already a big help, and a very nice gesture. I really admire your works and aspire to be as good as you... I wish you all the best Mr. Revoy
I'm re-reading: sorry if my first answer was a bit off-topic; It was late at evening yesterday and I probably overread the "(windows)" you added at the end of your question. Your question was really clear! Thanks for your nice words, and good luck on your art quest!
will you upload the full version? I'm curious..
I have the sources of this video; 25h without audio, real-time. I could upload, but honestly, I find it very boring.
The short version here contains the same amount of information about the workflow and strategy I use to make
this comic page.
Do you think a longer version would help? About what step mainly?
because so many part I want to know.. how do you blending, color selection, setting color, perspective, setting page, step by step from sketching to coloring (painting), what brush u use to drawing tree, how you setting that brush, and many more.. Full version no skip, no editing, no music ( I can play some music by myself ), because timelapse will remove some parts which I might need.. Thanks before..
How it may be possible to colour precicely without selecting an area, please?
Hey, it might be because I use a large tablet area, I have probably more precision thanks to that
@@DavidRevoy Ok, "freestyle" :), thank you. I was just wondering if there´s a "new" Krita-option I´ve missed.
How long took to make this page in real time?
Around 25h
Can you show how to put these 2 painels? One for sketch and one for storyboard?
Hey, this is a mode you can activate in the settings of Krita; the default is "tab" the one I use is "subwindows" ; I think I show it on the start of the video on my channel about a comic page from A to Z. Also, krita official documentation (F1 while in Krita) has a page for more infos about subwindows if you enter that in the search field.
@@DavidRevoy Thank you! I have Krita on my computer, but I'm so confused with some options that I would like to start my anime art, and draw with a mouse makes it difficult.
i saw you using your own perspective grids, did you know that krita has tools that will automatically snap t the grid built in
Yes :) But using them has a big impact on the performances (FPS of the canvas) and can't be limited to a single panel (it takes the full document). Also, magnet/snapping is the best way to kill the life of a line; I have enough accuracy with my hand to not envy a magnet/snap to grid feature. That's why I use my old manual grid. Bonus: I can still open my 10 year old Krita files with my grid; not sure painting assistants from10 years ago still opens. That's why I'll probably keep using manual grid on layer. But I follow development of perspective/assistant. I even proposed a big mockup in 2013. See: www.davidrevoy.com/article159/design-ideas-for-a-new-krita-perspective-tool and phabricator.kde.org/T13380 if you want to keep info on the topic. Thanks!
@@DavidRevoy oh ok I didn't know Keira was that old I thought it was like 5 years old
@@ewan8bit174 hehe, the project started in 1998 but to be fair it was on Linux only, so not well known of the user of Windows and Mac.
Why do you flip the image on occasion?
Hi, It is a classic drawing/painting technique (using a real mirror). A fundamental.
One of the issue with the human brain is this one "fix for you" a
picture if you look long enough it. That's why beginners do portrait
with eyes going crazy in corner and big deformation and are often really
happy with it. Because their brain fix the deformations.
To trick the brain; flipping the artwork in a mirror has an effect on brain:
for a split second; the brain can't auto-fix the issue, and the artist can
spot all the errors as like watching an artwork saw for the first time.
A precious device. On Krita , the "M" key mirror the canvas.
Very cute OuO
