8 TIPS for Faster Painting in KRITA!

These tips help make my painting process a lot faster and streamlined. I've learned them through years of digital painting so I hope they help you speed up your painting process too!
Also this is my first tutorial type video! I would love to hear what you think of it and what else you would like to hear about!

    Another way to avoid the sketch layer from interfering with the R shortcut is to lock it. Then you can still see the sketch, but it will not be selected.

    I'm pleasantly surprised by how similar it looks to Photoshop. Nearly all of these are options I use regularly right now. Only the clipping layers (locking alphas) looks a bit more tedious here, but I think I could live with that. Once my Photoshop discount runs out, I think I'll be using Krita.

    I believe there are also ways to do clipping layers in a similar way to how photoshop does it in Krita. I just find that this way runs a bit faster so that's what I shared! It may seem a little tedious in the video, but once you get used to it, it doesn't feel too bad :)
