Krita tutorial the way I know it.
Basics: What is where.
Gimmicks.
Specific advice on specific tools.
Basics: What is where.
Tumblr media
Upon opening the program this is what you're met with. First of all, must comment: The layout is HEAVILY editable so you can just drag menus anywhere you want, even leave them floating amidst the sheet you're drawing on.
Tumblr media
You can create custom art templates, I have two o'mine here as both have my signature background color.
As well, you can edit the custom document settings, as in what size you want it, what resolution, even the initial content of the image. As well you can create from clipboard: Just copy some image from your browser and Krita will recognize it (useful for making meme edits lol).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now, once you have your file, I will show you what is where.
Tumblr media
Brushes:
Brushes are easy to edit and there are tons of free bundles to download online. I myself only got one bundle, Jackpack (bit hard to find now due to original source being lost, it is still available but bit tricky to come by).
There. Are. Tons.
Tumblr media
Some of these are my custom brushes for calligraphy in neography, you might even guess which ones. You can edit existing brushes, make new ones from the ones you've edited without changing the original, and all sorts of stuff (more below in the third chapter).
There are numerous packages of brushes once you enter Krita, but only one/two are available when you first open it. To unlock them all, click here:
Tumblr media
And make sure all bundles are dark gray in color (example of both dark and light below).
Tumblr media
Now Tools Options: those will pop up depending on what tool you're using.
Tumblr media
Symmetry: Fun stuff. You can drag the lines depending on how you need them and then center them back to the center of the screen if needed.
Tumblr media
Gradients and Textures also have their tools options, you can play with those to get the feeling what they can do (more in third chapter).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Filters tab is useful too. Blurring, motion blurring, color mapping, artistic filters and all that: Quite fun.
Tumblr media
Gimmicks.
Krita allows you to customize your workspace freely. Floating menus, tabs, anything you want. It has quite many drivers at that-
To access the workspace templates, go to Window and choose Workspace.
Tumblr media
Krita allows for copy-pasting any image onto the sheet. Though, for me it sometimes crashes if I accidentally copy-paste text into it without choosing the Text tool first.
The software allows for both raster and vector work. It is basically Photoshop sharpened to be used by artists primarily.
There are some interesting mechanics regarding the Eraser (default bind E).
Tumblr media
You can use it with any brush, allowing for textured erasure/quick work. Good for sketching.
You can use it on gradients (given there's a transparent point on the gradient preset).
There's a Multibrush tool:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
People say Krita is good for animation but my brain can't wrap around it yet honestly @~@.
The keybinds:
B - Brush tool.
E - Erase tool option.
M - Mirror (useful for checking accuracy from a new angle).
Ctrl - Color pick (when used with brush or other color-using tools).
Shift+L.Mouse+drag - Changes the size of the brush by dragging left and right.
Ctrl+E - Merge layer with the one below.
Ctrl+G - Group selected layers.
Ctrl+A - Select whole sheet.
Ctrl+Shift+A - Deselect everything.
F - Bucket tool.
G - Gradient tool.
Ctrl+S - Save document.
Ctrl+Shift+S - Save As document.
Ctrl+N - New document.
Ctrl+O - Open document (will be seen in a new tab on top of the sheet).
Ctrl+C - Copy selected layer or selection.
Ctrl+X - Cut selected layer or selection.
Ctrl+V - Paste copied/cut layer or selection.
Q - Multibrush tool.
R.Mouse - Interesting thing: Opens up a quick selector for brushes and colors you've already used in the piece.
1 - Zoom 100%.
2 - Zoom to fit the piece vertically.
3 - Zoom to fit the piece horizontally.
4, 5, 6 - Turn 15 degrees (4 and 6) or undo the turning whatsoever (5).
Ctrl+I - Negative filter applied to layer.
Ctrl+U - Color editing on the layer.
Ctrl+Y - Soft proofing mode (for color mistakes and stuff like that, mostly annoying for me tbh).
Ctrl+T - Transform selection/layer.
Ctrl+R - Square select tool.
Ctrl+J - Lasso select tool.
Honestly you can just hover your mouse over tools and see their shortcut binds, as well. Or edit them in Settings.
Specific advice on specific tools.
Brush:
Tumblr media
Brush editor is a great tool for making custom brushes, and it even has a sratchpad to test them out. Lots of settings, but no need to be afraid; Most of them you might never use on purpose.
Use Brush Smoothing for great and pretty lines in lining pieces or making calligraphy.
Tumblr media
Gradient:
Tumblr media
The four icons to the right top are:
Mirror gradient.
Arrange by lightness value.
Arrange by color value.
Space the stops evenly.
Click the gradient to add a new stop. The three things to the left are:
Make the stop use Primary Color.
Make the stop use Secondary Color.
Make the stop use a fixed color.

When I watched the fourth Bionicle movie, I really liked the spinning stud pieces in the holes of their joints and such.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
They would spin and be somewhat a part of emotion articulation at times. Something like cogs, or whatever - clearly an indicator of them being alive though, like heartbeat.
Just wondering if any characters of yours had a similar thing, though I suppose not that many people liked The Legend Reborn and you might not like this thing.
There's only three bionicle movies. :)

Arhebbilroas
Tumblr media
Name derived from the word "free" translated to Esperanto and Scots Gaelic and written backwards, afterwards bit tweaked.
A quite large script, having a total of 65 characters.
Sorry for not posting for a while, I finally figured out the problem with my table not having enough space to rest my elbow on while drawing - bought a new table duh XD - and this will affect positively both my art (@hordraomin) and neography. Cheers!

An artwork for a friend.
Tumblr media
Done from the perspective of a friend's OC, who we RP'ed and got in a relationship with my then NPC in an RP server, as their relationship grew and grew.
Lesbians btw.

Fun fact: The entire aesthetic of the Souax species is inspired by Samus' zero suit.

Auolp's "ultimate" form.
Tumblr media
Changes and additions:
Advanced earphones.
Neuromesh hardlight projectors in his shoulders were removed and placed inside two floating disks he can control and assign partial autonomy to. The two disks can dock on his back, bit below the shoulderblades.
Chest plate shows partially exposed arc reactor (the glow can be turned off via manipulating the material of the lid).
The nullbulge is now equipped with its own neuromesh hardlight projector, + a glow-up display that can show various monochrome shapes (chastity lock, heart, et cetera).
Improved needlefeet allow for lightspeed leaps; Retractable "fins" purposed to boost speed when opened were implanted there. Powerful zero-point manipulators inserted in the tips of his feet, mostly used for energy attacks like kicks and blasts, but also for jumps, flying, and even more extra speed. As well, derezzing tech allows him to transform everything below the knee into a virtually atom-thin blade.
Spinal cord upgraded with gyroscopes and antigrav engines, allowing him to levitate and maneuver more effectively.
Shield tech improved, allowing almost indefinite armor lock given he doesn't change his pose (given the demiboy bitch can fly, it isn't a problem).

Extra blogs: @hordraomin-reblogs + @hordraomin-sketches
This blog may contain uncensored NSFW imagery, watch your back. Minors, nazi, racists, radfems/terfs/aroace-excluders/homophobes, dni.
Hi! I am open for art commissions to train my art skill and gain experience.
I'm only available on Pay'Pal - contact me on Discord (RC2#3108) to discuss the purchase.
Half the price upfront, half after the piece is done. I will provide you with WIP images and/or stream it on my Discord server with obnoxious watermarks in the way, and once the final payment for the piece is given, I will give you the picture without the watermark and post the version with the watermark on my profile here, crediting you (or not, if you want to stay anonymous) as the purchaser.
Will do:
Furry, anthro, mechanoids, humans, scalie, other species.
Any gender and orientation.
Faceshots, thigh-ups, full body, ref sheets.
SFW, nude, NSFW, list of allowed fetishes and kinks here.
Varying bodytypes, non-humanoid.
Varying shading materials and replicating/getting-the-general-vibe-of styles (send refs).
Fanart for any existing fandom.
Adopts in the future.
Tumblr media
Pricing
Bare bones sketch, with line or without: Ranging from 5$ ~ 10$
Flat colored sketch, with partial shading or without: Ranging from 20$ to 40$
Finished piece with complex shading: Starting with 40$ and with the ceiling up at 100$.
Each new character increases the price by 50%.
To get best results, be aware of this graph:
Tumblr media
You can pick maximum two parameters out of three:
Done Quickly
High Quality
Low Cost
Which gives 6 possible variations:
Fast and good, but expensive.
Fast and cheap, but lower quality.
Good and cheap, but taking longer time to finish (and possibly without a guarantee to be finished at all).
Very fast, but of probably bad quality and higher cost.
Very low cost, but without time guarantees and with possibly bad quality.
Very high quality, but without time guarantees and high cost.
AVERAGE TIME TO COMPLETE AN ART, WITH FEEDBACK FROM THE PURCHASER: 3 DAYS
Note: Purchased NSFW content might have delays.
Additionally, I take commissions for neography works. You can see my portfolio on Reddit following this link.
Basic cost for an English alphabet cipher (aka roughly 25 symbols) is 35$.
I won't do logographies, but will accept syllabaries, alpha-syllabaries, abjads and abugidas for a reasonably higher price that will be discussed before the work begins. I will provide you with watermarked WIP content and will remove the watermark once the job is done.
Again, half the price upfront, half after the work is finished
Be aware that I am a learning artist and some areas might be out of my skill level. If you give me time and payment motivation, I can do studies of the subject you want drawn (say, complex transparent objects or specific poses/bodyparts) and then get to the piece you want.
My Pay'Pal is here:

Alright I will showcase Glaze by the University of Chicago,
Basically,
Tumblr media
This is the interface. It is not connected to the internet (as claimed), and works on your PC without any browser assistance.
-> Input image
-> Define Glaze settings
-> Output
Below I will show how my PFP looks on different levels of Intensity.
Tumblr media
All are equally spaced on the scale, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% of intensity.
I think it does kinda make sense since it might mess up the algorithm used by the AI model.
You can see those "trippy" effects on the image, similar to those "acid" filters you might've found before on the internet.
Tumblr media
Thing is, it doesn't change the content itself much. The image is glazed, changed, but is still recognizable as a depiction of something.
The effect it has on the drawing is not pleasant to the eye much, so it's up to you if you want to use it on your art.
