Description

"Krita" is a graphic application comparable to Photoshop. But unlike Photoshop, Krita is free and open-source software. So, you don't need to pay anything to download and use it. Another thing that makes Krita different from Photoshop, is that Krita is more focused on digital painting. That is why in Krita, you can find many features related to digital painting that do not exist in Photoshop. If you need software for drawing or creating illustrations, then Krita will make you feel right at home.


If you want to master Krita quickly and easily, then -in sha Allah- this online course is the best solution for you. Please note that this online course is the continuation of the basic-level course that was released earlier. To ensure you can follow the course without problems, it's recommended that you take the basic-level course first, before taking this one.


What will you learn?


In this course, you will learn advanced selection techniques. Then learn Vector Graphics techniques in Krita. From making basic primitive objects, to being able to create custom complex shapes. You will also learn the ins and outs of “Filter” and “Mask” in Krita. We will discuss various filters such as "HSV", "Levels", "Color Balance", and so on. Including how to access hundreds of different “G'Mic filters”. Then, you will also learn the "Gradient" feature in detail. From the process of creating gradient presets, editing the gradient colors, until applying gradients using various methods.


After we learn the techniques, we will put them into practice by creating two different illustrations from start to finish. These two illustrations have something in common, that is, they both use the Vector technique combined with the Raster technique. But the way Vectors are used in each of these illustrations is very different. In the first illustration, where we will create a strawberry-shaped house, vector graphics are used as the base colors. Raster techniques are then used to add shadows, highlights, textures, and so on. Whereas in the second illustration, where we will draw a robot fighter character or "robot warrior", Vector graphics are used to create outline or "line art". For the coloring process, we will explore a different technique. That is, we will start with defining shading and highlight in grayscale. Then we add colors to it using the “gradient map” filter. And after that, we apply various raster techniques to add lighting effects and finalize the illustration.


There are still many things that you will learn from this course. It is impossible to explain all of them in this short text description. Please refer to the curriculum section if you want to learn more.


So, JOIN NOW! And take your skill further to the next level.

Kurs naprawdę zwiększający wiedzę o funkcjach Krity, a nie uczący przekształcania zdjęć w Kricie, jak niektóre. Autor kursu zrobił świetną robotę.

The course teaches you many different technics to use in provided projects. I personally learned a lot from this course and how krita is working. From me is it a clear recommendation to get that curse if you would like to use krita in your projects. Krita is free to use and a great alternative to paid ones and gives amazing possibilities for colouring and painting, with different types of masks. The course covers much more technics and approaches. Big thanks to Widhi for sharing his knowledge and experience with us!

Widhi's courses are always great. Many digital art courses are either very dry and technical, or very abstract and imprecise. He understands both the technical and creative aspects of doing digital art. I've been doing digital art professionally for over ten years and I always learn something new from his courses.

I am an experienced artist with years of experience in traditional mediums in fine art and graphic design. Since retiring I have been focusing on digital media to develop an income stream. I have been playing around with Krita for a few years now but never really had the time to commit to learning the software. This course along with the basic introduction course has given me the confidence to do Print-On-Demand as an income stream. I found the course well thought out with cohesiveness between lessons and just the right amount of challenge to keep my interest without becoming overwhelmed. I would definitely recommend these two courses, in tandem, to anyone trying to move from traditional to digital media using Krita software.

I have enjoyed this course. I found the computer voice easier to understand than the voice from Widhi however this did not detract from the course. I downloaded the videos and worked on them without the internet. I ticked off the course content as I completed them, or when I remembered, but the progress counter didn't increment properly. Thank you for a very educational course, I shall look out for the next one.
