A long 1h22min Krita video tutorial fully commented. A real full length course suited to beginners, but also advanced digital painters. It starts from scratch with default set of brushes, preferences and break-down all the process. The repetitive parts while painting were all accelerated and can be skipped easily (a timer in overlay appears on display) Check the Timeline codes under to navigate in the video.

Subtitle are unfortunately not available, sorry for my (heavy) French accent and poor vocabulary. It was too long to write them this time. I hope the auto generation will work and you'll have not a lot of trouble to understand me mumbling sometime.

I recorded over 6h of material, and at the end I was totally brain washed. Painting and talking while recording really overheat my brain, and I also recorded that under a super hot weather, 39°C , and I had to turn of all the fans to reduce the noise on the microphone. That was a real challenge.

Big props also to the OBS studio team (for the recording software) and Kdenlive team (for the video editing software). Of course, to the Krita team too!

  • Also, don't apologize for your accent. You're speaking a language that's not your native one. The people who complain can learn french if they want, but they haven't, have they?
  • David, don't apologize for your accent. English is not your indigenous/first language. You are a very good teacher. You are NOT hard to understand at all. This video is helpful for many, many people and very appreciated.
  • 1 hour long of narrated step by step process from a fresh install to a fully fledged illustration? David youre insane! truly a gem to our community 😊
  • @PaulKater
    Goodness. In the first 7 minutes of watching this video, I have learnt more about Krita than trying to figure things out on my own in months. This is going to be a treasure. Merci beaucoup!
  • MAN, i always wanted a video with your full step-by-step process, this is like a dream come true!
  • @langbis
    I just downloaded krita and was struggling to navigate and understand the tools. I was disappointed when I couldn't find the airbrush tool. At the same time, I am looking for a tutorial on how to use this software and I am grateful to have found your video. It is very helpful. Thank you. More videos to come.
  • Holy cow, this is awesome. I’ve started drawing again, trying digital and I’ve been horrible at planning out how I’ll draw my compositions. This video helped 👍
  • It is very cool to see an artists full process. Thank you so much for sharing.
  • This video is pure gold for a Krita beginer, thanks :)
  • @s-o-o-z
    I'm not even halfway through but I had to stop and say thank you. Wow, you are so generous in the way you share your knowledge. Thank you. (BTW, I'm a big fan of your accent.)
  • @J_Tchang
    Incredible helpful video David !! As always more and more people are adopting Krita thanks to amazing artists like you !
  • @setin8720
    I always find you a very apt teacher. You've always inspired me with both your artworks, and with how much you choose to give free to others. I thank you as an aspiring artist.
  • @Kris_Toffer
    I'm trying to get back into drawing after having quit as a kid, so im basically starting from scratch, and this is great help for me. It's a lot of information and a lot for me to remember, but its also very convenient to have it all in one video instead of having to watch a 40 video playlist with lots of fill. I'll definitely keep coming back to this from time to time to pick up new things after I've tried the things I do remember. It's so well made, it'll be a great resource. Thank you for making this.
  • @nacs
    Love that you walked through your layout setup process and everything, thanks a lot! Re: that disclaimer in beginning -- I actually prefer my English tutorials with a heavy French accent :D Also love the draw-in-the-style work, I prefer it over the more anime-style original.
  • @Dimipim1
    oh my God this video is everything that I've been asking for in a tutorial about Krita Seriously, thank you SO MUCH
  • Best video I could have watched as it massively improved my digital art workflow when transistioning from CSP to Krita, thank you so much! :)
  • Have been wanting someone to do something like this for krita for a while. Never apologize for your accent! it is hard to learn a second language. thank you for the amazing videos and +1 for linux.
  • thanks to David for this wonderful tutorial and to Krita for giving everyone a chance to draw.🤞
  • I actually sat through the whole video and it's been extremely helpful. Your accent is fine and as a non-native English speaker everything you said were pretty clear to me. The part where you said waking up the day after and notice some additional stuff that needed fixing is so true it actually happens to me pretty often.
  • You're a huge inspiration to me. I love your style and your commitment to open source softwares. Thanks a lot for this video, I always wanted to see your whole process
