Thread: Ilanthar's tests & sketches

    Krita, as usual now.
    I'm finding myself using more and more the sketch brushes.

    It's too blurry or too line "classic", I can't get something in between.

    Have you had a go at making your own brushes yet?

    Its pretty complicated because there are so many different settings, and they aren't particularly self explanatory, but I found that you get used to what everything does if you pay around long enough with them.

    Think first of your ideal brush - shape, texture, how it reacts to pressure and tilt... then set about creating it.

    I will go and have a look for all the vids I watched and bring you back a few links that might help

    Tools aside, I've found it helpful watching other artists paint, intertwined with a lot of practice studies... there are a bunch on YouTube who paint portraits, characters, faces... just do searches around the theme of 'digital painting face' or similar.

    Here's the one vid I found most useful if you also want to make your own brushes.

    You might have to watch it a few times, since it covers a whole load of stuff really fast, but it helps a lot because it tells you where the bugs are and how to get around them

    Thanks a lot for the help of the experts ! I'll certainly have a look on those tutorials.

    Meanwhile, I guess I could go with an in between (still using the lines of my first version).

    That looks good

    And I'm no expert. I just really enjoy messing around with the brushes in Krita. Never tried PS, so from my point of view Krita's brush engine is simply the best - bugs and all. The versatility and the amount of control passed to the user is just unparalleled. Makes GIMP look extremely clunky!

    Belated thanks to both of you !

    I just wanted to share some of my illustrations done for my Tipeee (from last year, mainly). Those are symbolic animals/plants/objects and possible portraits of 7 gods of my Domhantyr world (7 out of 18 in total).
