Hi Ivan Corredera , thank you. I was concept-artist on the Gooseberry project ( artworks and blog : www.davidrevoy.com/article221/cosmos-landromat-concept-art ) I finished my work on it on October 2014 ( and in final, only the 'tornado' concept remain in the pilot ). Pepper&Carrot animation project is something different , a personnal comic project with open-license. On long terms, I want to also make an animation movie, with only free/libre software, but that's a long term dream who needs more funding to pay a little team. :-)

***** Thanks David this was very helpful.

Great as always. Blending modes can be one of the most difficult things to understand. Sharing your techniques are always so enlightening for me. Keep it up!

Very helpful Kirta painting tips! IMO the best tutorial I've seen of yours so far, David. The examples you show make each blending-mode's usefulness very clear, and the pacing of your voice & content was great. Great video!

Thanks for the explanation! I have been watching a bunch of tutorials all day, and yours is the first to actually explain the differences in blending modes rather than just saying "blend this" or "use multiply."

David's Art is so Beautiful. Just looking at any of his works takes all the stress out of my life ^^

Your Artwork exuberates an aura of calmness And peace. Totally loved it! Thank you for sharing this.

The most useful blending mode video so far!! Thanks for sharing the techniques.

Thank you so much! I have been using the blending modes, but I didn't understand them totally, so it's really great to know exactly what they can do!

Thanks for all your efforts, your blog is amazing and completely changed the way I draw.

And here I am doing so many complex paintings with normal mode only. Thanks for the tips, this will help me a lot.

This is the best blending mode tutorial on the web. thank you for making this!

Thank you for all the tips. I like when you show the tools in real artwork!

I've learned so much from your videos, I can't thank you enough!

I've only had Krita for a few months, and even though I primarily work in Photoshop, this was a nice tutorial to help me understand Krita's blending mode! Thank you!

Hello! I know you made this like 7+ years ago but as I'm new to Krita I was trying to find something similar to what I used to do with Paintshop Pro 8 (I was very young). What you call grisailles my program would just call greyscaling. Trying to find a program that was simple and similar was hard to find until now. I'm not an amazing artist like yourself or anything, but practice makes perfect and I've really been wanting this kind of knowledge to get back into something I once enjoyed. Thank you so much for sharing all this wonderful information and for being very clear in your directions. I will be watching more videos as they come out. :)

Thank you so much Awesome video!!!!

Dat French accent!!! Dude this is awesome, you should do more voiced videos! I tend to use overlay by literally duplicating the layer and setting it to overlay mode to fix when my image is too desaturated (because I'm not very good at picking colors yet, I like to have relatively saturated colors in general) and then I adjust the opacity slider. This is probably not very useful for works such as yours where you actually know what you're doing and got at least some of your contrasts and saturation right, but for someone as bad as me, it is perfect to fix my two biggest beginner mistakes! (Desaturation and too little contrast) until I actually get better at avoiding them. Also, color dodge op, I will definitely use that.

could you perhaps explain how you achieved the glow with the color dodge mode? like how many layers you used to build it up? did you use the color dodge on a separate layer or the same one as the rest of the flame/ painting? but great video, I find your tutorials very helpful and enjoyable to watch

Fantastic video! I'm a Krita beginner and really struggled with what mode to use and how. Question - do you normally use blending modes directly in the painting layer or do you create new layers for various blending modes? It looks like you use a single layer in your videos, however it feels safer to use multiple layers

@DavidRevoy

4 жыл бұрын

Thank you. It really depends if I do a (speed) painting then I'll use blending mode directly on the brush and consider the layer stack as a tool to save a previous flat version (so I can still erase and go back in time if I do something too wrong) , or it depends if I follow logical step for doing a comic (in this case, I'll use, eg. 'multiply' on layer for all lines, another one for my shading, and I'll keep effect on top for mist/light beams on a top addition/screen blending mode layer.) This is mostly for getting a consistent look accross all the panel of an episode.

Multiply is nice because it's very predictable. The value will always be a darkening that reaches the midpoint between black and the colors underneath that matches the colors selected. It doesn't overdarken, is easy to predict the color result, and never has any odd hues.

@DavidRevoy

5 жыл бұрын

I agree, multiply is probably the blending mode easier to understand because it feels like glazing with a transparent colored ink. So it has a less abstract feeling than other blending modes. Other blending modes needs more practice to be used the same way. (I'm still far from that, but I'm getting pretty good with color-dodge, addition, overlay, hard-light, soft-light and grain-merge. :-D )

First of all - you are really amazing artist! My question is - do you use Kirta because it's better to draw than Photoshop, or is it about same and you just chose it financially ? I'm somewhat familiar with Photoshop and completely new to Krita, but I see a lot of amazing drawings done in Krita these days, should I learn Krita to start drawing?

@DavidRevoy

7 жыл бұрын

Thank you! For all the story, you can read www.davidrevoy.com/article170/the-choice-of-open-source ; I was a teacher in CG school of Photoshop ; but I dislike the buisness model of proprietary software a lot( and the way they abuse data of end user). I need to use a Linux system to be protected from this ; and on Linux and open-source, Krita is the best tool. Photoshop doesn't even has a Linux version... About your question "should I learn Krita to start drawing?" You can. But the most important isn't in the software anyway. You can learn on any software and switch later. It's really similar than asking if you need to use Wordpad, Ms Word or Libre Office to learn how to write a book. Software is just a tool. You'll see, Krita does nothing magic for you; you'll have to learn perspective, proportion, color theory, gesture, anatomy, etc... In any case. Good luck on this long path! Krita 3.1.3 ( the latest release ) is a very good release on my Linux system ( if you avoid the text tool). A rock solid base to learn digital painting.

That's quite a story, thank you for answering, David! Yes, I realize that no program gives neither magical skills of using it nor the vision for it, and I'm not hoping to do anything close to your awesome creations any time soon :) I'm just choosing the most convenient tool to quickly start drawing game art for my projects (at the level I am capable of, of course) and to learn certain skills and techniques (not many art channels are as useful as yours, for instance - that's one of the reasons to think about Krita for me). And in the world I come from - music and composing - DAWs (audio workstation programs) have significant differences in usability. I've been composing and producing music/sounds for like 18 years now and I'd never go back to FL Studio from Ableton Live, even though Live is more buggy, heavy and somewhat unreliable, but its interface just makes much more logical sense and this convenience makes it an appropriate tool to implement all kinds of ideas. That's why I'm picky I guess :D So I think I'll just start learning what I need in terms of drawing and then will move from there. Was happy to hear from you!

Thanks for the video. The word you didn't know how to say is called gray scale. It's when an image is only tones of black and white.

Meredith Schreibstein Hey, there is no special tip about this. It's just painting/coloring the area with adjusting the brush size to just paint the inner zone and know the boundaries of the brush. But It's easier with a larger tablet, and more difficult with a small tablet ( and large screen). It's precision, and it comes with practise and time I guess. If you really want to prevent painting on or outside an area with digital tools, it has to be setup before ; the computer as to know the area boundaries ( multiple method: protecting 'alpha/transparency of the layer with little checkerboard icon on the layer stack, or by creating a selection with the many selection tools, or with a transparency mask layer...etc ).

What was the program you said you used again? Grisa? I've never heard of it. This is an awesome video! Thank you for creating it.
