WHAT IS DIGITAL PAINTING & KRITA?

Digital painting is painting using a drawing tablet that is connected to a pc and drawing on this tablet using a stylus.
You use a drawing/painting program such as Krita to create digital artwork. It is very similar to traditional painting fundamentally with a few unique aspects such as ‘blending’.

Krita is a free open source digital painting software. It's used primarily for digital painting and animation.
It contains digital brushes that mimic and replicate traditional media when you create brush strokes, by drawing on a graphics tablet.


TOP 3 BENEFITS OF LEARNING DIGITAL PAINTING WITH KRITA

1: There is a high demand for high-quality artwork that is produced quickly

2: Digital art is the standard art form for many creative industries such as video games

3: Being able to use both traditional and digital art mediums. The digital medium makes you a very employable artist as well as opening up more opportunities over the general spectrum of art that is needed by potential clients/employers.


FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can I just use traditional art for an art career? Yes, but you will be limiting yourself to creating work generally for galleries and exhibitions, whereas gaining the ability to create art digitally will open up many more avenues of potential income and employment.

Does it take a long time to transition from traditional art to digital art? If you have a solid understanding of art fundamentals then it shouldn’t take long, it will just be a case of getting used to using a stylus and drawing tablet and the intricacies of the digital software that we go through in the course.

Sound is too quiet for me to hear it and the monotone voice is hard to follow. I was unable to get past the basic control video as a result.

So far so good. Even I am familiar to digital painting I follow all the lessons in case of not missing if there is a detail info about ways of painting. I just like to see with real painting examples by seeing the tools and their futures to understand better when I wanted to paint a pic so I can remember easly.

This is a perfect match for me. I had been going in circles, trying to find something at a level I could grasp. You have presented that. And the assignments add so much to my experience. There is a certain 'something' about your teaching style that is both relaxing and motivating -- I think you have a special gift and I thank you.

Nice, quick and pretty straight forward introduction to digital painting. It sure is different from sketching on paper, but I could see myself doing more of this. I especially liked the "painting techniques" section as it can be a bit confusing when just having installed the Krita. Instructor is clear and easy to understand.

I didn't have a tablet when going through this course. I feel like I would have gotten more out of it if I did, so I could try out the different techniques on the fly. However, I was able to do the lessons directly on the PC and draw with my mouse. It worked fine and I did learn a lot from that - but if I am pursuing this, I will definitely go out and invest in a proper drawing tablet. Overall, I'm pretty happy with my purchase of the course.

As someone who is completely new to digital painting, this was a great course. I know how to draw on paper, and I have always wondered if I should try doing similar stuff on a computer. Jonathans lessons was clear and to the point - however, a bit more enthusiasm when presenting would be appreciated, but that's just me being picky. Thanks!
