Drawing and Painting in Krita: Youtube

I launched my YouTube channel a little while ago, starting initially with just some time-lapse videos of my digital process. I was trying to just get in the habit of recording, editing, adding some audio and posting online. My first attempt with some kind of vocal commentary was a bit let down by poor audio quality but I think I’ve been levelling them up a little each time. I recently got a better quality mic and the last couple seem like something I can share.

In Part One of this series I show my process in Krita for taking a traditional sketch from your sketchbook, scanning it in and doing digital inks and flats on top.

Part Two discusses blocking in a tonal monochrome under painting and hard and soft edges.

I’m using Krita mostly because this is the easiest way for me to make videos right now. I wouldn’t say they are totally digital tool specific.. the things discussed are more general art theory that you could apply to other mediums. As for direction of the channel - I’m just learning as I go and do like that are many possibilities for the type of content I could make there. I’m enjoying the editing process and the medium - YouTube is one of the better and more creative social networks at the moment in my opinion.
