THANK YOU! This tutorial taught me how to use vectors and I now understand how to emmulate the artstyle i've been loving for years but never understood how to do

Just the fact that the vectors are now svg is a huge improvement over the old format. especially in the interoperability. About the stroke color selection. You can right click on the color selector popup and it will change the stroke color in real time just like the fill color.

I know this tutorial is 4 years old at this point but as someone who downloaded Krita very recently, this tutorial helps me a lot! Krita seems easier and more intuitive to use than Adobe Illustrate (which I learned how to use in school but could never get the desired outcome)

Thank you so much! I was getting frustrated as a new Krita user who wanted to make crisp, clean lines. That freehand vector tool is such a tiny button! And those tool settings make a big difference. Thank you again 😊 Time to go experiment.

This is very informative and and very clearly you have explained use of vector in Krita, I am new to Krita and loved this tutorial the way you explained. thank You very much.

Thanks! this helped me alot to see what options of vector on Krita has! jus saved me an hour of experimenting

14:35 You can select multiple nodes with left click drag, and shift + left click drag.

Super awesome tutorial. You are very good at explaining stuff based on the principles

Krita is more amazing that I thought.

This video is so helpful! I had no Idea how to work with vectors on Krita! Thanks a bunch!

Owwww this was 2 years ago and the krita was already amazing

Fantastic tutorial. Today, first time, I started learning Karita. To understand, I am asking these questions. We can make to 2 different layers, one pixel and other vector, then mix them and convert them into a single vector or pixel file. Can we use text of a foreign language? So we can isolate a colour in an object, like we removed the bottle or cap or side of the object in the end.

Krita have vectors drawing too?! So basically its a free Photoshop, Flash and Illustrator? (Also Apple's Sketch) This is so amazing.. goodbye Adobe goodbye PS1: do you know if Vector drawing got any improvements in 4.2? or this review is still valid? PS2: love your channel :)

I don't think it got better in 4.2.x, there still no easy tool to find the center spot for correspond or any near objects. I can't even edit the line after I drew it, neither connect with other lines.

Why do we need afinity when we have krita ?

Excellent. Well done tutorial.

What I really want is stroke profiles As in, a profile for the thickness and density of a stroke at any given point, and being able to save said density and thickness profiles to apply them to multiple strokes That's all I'm really missing, now that they've made an autosmooth function for the bezier curve!

thanks for this! cant wait to use vector mode for my animations :D

I am glad, that the functionality moves towards Fireworks, which Adobe abandoned. You mention using the selection tools on vector nodes in 14:30. In Fireworks, you have a square selection tool, when you click next to the Vector objects and draw. You can use it multiple times by holding shift. This works well for me to grab lots of nodes. - I did not come across any program, which combines Pixel and Vector as seamlessly as Fireworks. - You can have Pixel and Vectors one the same layer and even group them. You can drop images inside of vector shapes and so on. It's just amazing.

I just subscribed with all notifications and gave thumb's up. Thanks for this informative video.

bro thank you this is from like almost 4 years ago but still helpful af

03:57 oh thank you soo much. finally i know how to make squares with rounded corners.

In 9:17, I could add that you can click in the middle of the gradient color to add another color and apparently you can add many more colors to create a rainbow like effect. However I couldn't find how to remove an added color without resetting the entire gradient color.

Very helpful. Thanks!

So vector side of krita isn't quite there yet. Still a great tool tho

Amazing, thank you so much!

good explanation

Great video, thnk you so much

more Krita, yay

GREAT!!!! Amazing video thanks! Could you please show the steps of taking a screen shot and using that as the base layer. Then using the pen tools to recreate a vector on top of it, whilst still seeing the screen shot underneath for reference. Like tracing over it so that it is accurate? Thank you!!

@catcat4697

If you know how to screenshot then you should be able to just copy ctrl-c then paste it as a new layer ctrl-v, if that doesn't work there should also be an option underneath file allowing you to import it. If you want it as your background layer then you can move it so the screenshot layer is above the background layer with the arrow keys, once it's on the layer above the background you can use ctrl-e to add that layer to the one below. Hope this helped

Vector tools in krita, yay!

Super tutorial! In what format should I save the finished vector drawing in Krita?

Thank You!

thank you so much!

Thank you!

Do you also have tutorials to do shading and highlights to make the vector have more depth?

thanks bro

As a long-time Clip Studio Paint (CSP) user, I found this discussion really fascinating. It seems like CSP is slowly moving toward a similar functionality vis-a-vis its treatment of vector art. Just VERY slowly. ;) You mention Copy/Pasting Inkscape's SVG paths with KRITA: One difficulty I've encountered in that workflow (and the same is true with CSP) is that the SIZE of the path (relative to the document) is way off. Do you know how/where in each app, KRITA & INKSCAPE, I can go to fix this issue, and what is causing it? _Again, Thank You for this review!_

Hi everyone. Whenever I subrract vector images, the resulting image has dozens and dozens of new nodes. This makes it hard to edit the final shape. Thoughts on how to fix that? Thanks!

thank you

Is there a way to draw a shape with a stroke outline, and then stretch the interior of the shape without stretching the outline?

Thank you :))

This video might change my art life

I love krita vectors

When I make a copy of the layer, I can't seem to move the copied square around. Only the selection lines move, but not the image itself. I can move the image of the original layer just fine. Is there a way to fix this?

I didn't know Krita had vector tools! I mostly used Krita for digital painting but nearly given up drawing anything with lineart since I can't seem to make smooth lines with just the brush until I discovered it had vector tools. Thanks for this tutorial, I can now make cleaner lineart in Krita now! :D

To make smooth lines make quick strokes it does require some time so put ur fingers on ctrl±z and don't pet the line many people pet their lines it's ok for sketching tho

can you save a gradient image and keep the transparency?

Can you use different style for freehand strokes? Like.. Make the stroke look like crayons or watercolor

Can you tell how to connect vector paths? I mean, I don’t know how to make one path to connect with another one without overlapping. Thx

affinity designer is interesting, but it does not have linux version. So I'm rooting for krita for this vector feature. I'm getting hard time in coloring and drawing lines. Inkscape had it right but the zooming with drawing tablet put me off.

Nice

I saw some tutorials and always appear different in the program, here the problem begin in the square, it can not allow to make the square filled with black, only the stroke, I hope to be understood! i just know a little bit of english

Are their any other programs besides Adobe Animate that allow you to draw vector images using a free hand brush tool?

Im lost. how did you paint with brush on a vector layer at the end? And is everything you paint using the brush a vector (so you can resize it), or is it just basically a rastor layer on top of the vector image?

You paint on regular raster layers. Krita doesn't offer complete vector brushstrokes like you'd get in something like Affinity Designer.

Hope someone read this and help me Long time ago I used SAI and I remember that you can choose a segment of a stock and change the thickness just of that part. Does krita has that option too? I only could change the thickness of all the figure but not only one part :c Thank you in advance

how did you get the imported image to be on a vector layer? I've been trying to import an image into krita from inkscape but every time it imports as its own layer and I can't get it to be a vector layer. All the videos I've watched so far as to how to do this have just skipped past this bit. I add a vector layer, then import the svg file, but it just becomes its own, non-vector layer. What am I doing wrong? Do you know?

While Krita's vector tools have potential, how do you skew the shapes? I skimmed through the video, but only the basic transform tools are available for it.

@QuotePilgrim

4 жыл бұрын

Just because it isn't shown in the video, doesn't mean it isn't available. He missed the reset transformations thing, so he could have missed more things. A feature he claimed no vector program has is even available in Inkscape itself, so I'm guessing he's just not very familiar with vector editing in general. I would bet you can use Krita's transformation tool to skew vector shapes the same way you can with raster graphics. You can also probably do perspective transformations, too. I haven't tested it, though. Edit: I have tested it, and you can indeed skew a shape with the transform tool. Perspective and cage transforms don't work though; it looks like they do, but as you apply them, they revert back.

@e-mananimates2274

Huh, I thought that the skew tool was in the same boat as the perspective and cage deformers. It appears to work, but after you skew, it reverts to the original shape. Perhaps that was fixed in a new update?

Images are made in raster (pixels) they tend to show up when you zoom and lose finishing whereas vector images aren't made from pixels and also don't lose shape or show pixel even if you zoom till you can. That's why logos/designs are made in illustrators not paint tools.

I love these tutorials and you are a great artist; However the teaching is sometimes gapped because you skip steps, operations and that makes the tutorials often vexing.

wow ^^

But these are REALLY vector shapes, right? because when I zoom in, i can see aliasing.

@Gdquest

Yes, it's just that Krita is a raster program first so it renders vector shapes at the document's resolution. At least that's how it's working for now.

Did I miss something? No ductus (pressure sensitivity for width of line) for vectors? That's disappointing.

If they managed to have vector tools that are comparable to inkscape, then this would be great.

@Gdquest

You could ask politely for a start. When or how is it flattening layers? There is no feature that automates that as far as I know. The only case I know of is if you save your file as e.g. a PNG or another format that does not support layers, close, and reopen the document. In which case Krita should give you a warning before it saves.

its not a vector at all -_- ive tried it but i dissappointed ,,you cant do vector for other shape ,,,,,,,, only rectangle ? -_-
