Master layer workflows in Krita, from painting on paint layer one to editing the background, managing visibility and opacity, naming, grouping, and transforming or merging content.
Master digital art in Krita by sketching first, building a simple composition with light lines, and applying design principles as you gradually add color across step-by-step lessons.
Block in the main colors to create contrast and foreground-background separation. Use the sun’s position to shape bright sky and dark foreground, building layers from background to tree and birds.
Discover how to find and preserve inspiration for digital art, turn ideas into sketches, and choose three creative approaches: recreate, imagine new visuals, or convey meaning to others.
If you want to make digital art as a complete beginner, you've come to the right place!
I'm Duplo, an experienced artist and designer from Germany, and I've put this course together to help you make your first artworks.
Using the completely free software Krita, I will guide you through the beginning of your digital art journey.
I'll show you how to install and set up the program, how to navigate and customize the interface, how to use all the tools and functions, how you can draw and paint, what the best practices and most useful shortcuts are and how to get more brushes.
After that, we'll make an artwork together that covers all the basics of Krita. We will start with a simple sketch and define the composition, then block in colors, add textures and details in different styles and make final adjustments.
Along the way, I'll give you many tips and insights what I think while making the artwork.
In the last section of this course, I'll give you some general art advice to kickstart your journey.
We're going to discuss how to get better, how to find inspiration, how to use references and how to stay motivated.
I think this course will help you see through all the chaos of digital art advice that is out there.
If you're interested but not quite convinced, just watch the first few lessons and see how you like it.
Have fun!
