Digital painting with Krita 5.0 intermediate level

Krita 5.1 updates the contiguous and similar color selection tools, renaming fuzziness to selection extent and switching to icon-based radio buttons for the reference modes.

Explore the differences between raster and vector graphics, covering pixels, resolution, file size, scalability, and editability, with examples like png, jpg, svg, and ai.

Master vector transformations in Krita by using a single vector layer, the select shapes tool, and the transform bounding box to move, scale, rotate, and skew vector objects.

Master coloring vector objects in Krita 5.0 by adjusting fill and stroke, opacity, and using foreground/background colors, gradients (linear and radial), and mesh gradient on fills.

Explore vector editing in Krita with techniques to adjust curvature using bezier handles or click-drag, insert and remove points, and break, merge, or join vector segments.

Explore Krita's Bezier curve tools for vector drawing and selections, mastering line and curve points, Alt and Shift techniques, autosmooth and angle snap settings for precise shapes.

Discover how the alpha channel on filter layers and filter masks acts as a transparency mask, allowing brush-based control of the filter strength with white, black, and gray strokes.

Create midground base colors in Krita 5.0 by using vector layers, bezier curve tool, and fills to build hill, house, and grass, then organize with depth sorting and group layers.

Continue the strawberry house project by building the background and foreground with Bezier curves, airbrush shading, and layered vectors, refining trunks, leaves, and fog for depth.

Advance the strawberry house illustration in Krita 5.0 by creating the main shadow with global and ambient occlusion shading, using contiguous selection, bezier curve selection tool, and color-labeled layers.

Master ambient occlusion by adding an ambient occlusion layer in multiply blend with inherit alpha, then paint subtle shadows using contiguous and bezier curve selections, airbrush, and color sampling.

Finish the illustration in Krita 5.0 using paint over to add grass and smooth stone transitions, then apply levels and color balance filters for final color correction.

Learn how Krita 5 handles dynamic gradients, focusing on two special presets foreground to background and foreground to transparent, where left follows foreground and right follows background, with permanent edits.

Refine vector line art in Krita 5.0 by sharpening edges, thickening corners, and patching with white shapes using the bezier curve tool, fill options, and stroke adjustments.

In this Krita 5.0 intermediate lesson, apply shading and highlight to a robot warrior by creating grayscale layers, using multiply and screen blending, alpha inheritance, and airbrush techniques.

Color the robot warrior line art by merging the group into an outline colored layer and using alpha lock, then apply rim light and shading by sampling surface colors.
