 Hi, my name is David Revois and in this video I will show you a time-lapse of a drawing I made. It's four of my characters from my webcomic Pepper and Carrot. You can recognize probably. I'm not sure to pronunciate their name very well. On the left Coriander, Pepper, Shishimi and the last one, Seifron. So this time-lapse video will be mostly about Seifron, the character of the right. This one maybe I will show you here. Because the workflow is very repetitive and if I show you all the time-lapse it will be boring. So we will see only one character and the other will be very fast. Just I will jump in the video. So here is Krita 2.9.11 and the main customization I have about the preferences in this version of Krita is an option to get the tool option. It's a docker usually and I get it as a button here. And if you want to activate it, just go to setting, configure Krita. In general, you move to the tab tools and here you can get the tool option location to be in the toolbar and not as a docker. So in the toolbar you press OK. Maybe we will need a little restart but after that you will get your tool option here and if you switch the tool you will get all the options always on one click in the toolbar. And I'm using a stabilizer and a preset with it. And my sitting for the stabilizer, so here in the tool option docker. The stabilizer I use is a 46.8 and it's a good setting for my screen and tablet size. And also I uncheck the scale distance. So here is the first step of the video. It's about sketching. And as you can see, I'm on the canvas zoomed at 50% and I'm using a very thin brush preset. And I'm starting to build some structure to get a volume of my character. So it doesn't look like a character yet. It's just like a mannequin and I'm trying to find a good angle to make some guide for the position of the eyes for the middle of the face and the nose. And slowly I'm adding details and a bit more landmarks. So the goal of the sketch step is really to just get an idea of the pose of the character or the facial expression and to place a bit of landmark. I'm not really detailing everything. I just try to let a lot of work for the inking pass because if I just do a sketch too detailed, I just get boring when I do the line art. So I need when I do the line art to have something to draw. And that's why the sketch is, as you can see, I keep a zoom out. Oh yeah, quick transformation to transform because the character was a bit unbalanced. And the sketch is ready to just get the big volume at the right place. If I get the big picture and the big silhouette, I usually feel comfortable to draw over this. So I'm just adding more landmark to some smaller details, but it's already the overall is already done. And I think this little sketch took like 10 or 15 minutes. I'm saving the file. So I'm just switching the eraser and the brush presets a lot. And I will not detail the leg because it was just a fun practice exercise. I just want to draw a bit the characters. And I think it's done. So for the other characters, it's a bit the same workflow. I'm just proposing you now a little acceleration about it. So you can see how the process was, but there is nothing special. Just erasing, transforming and moving things around. I just try to keep everything on a separate layer. Just to move the character easily, but that's how I do the sketch part. The second chapter of this time lapse is about line art. And to do it, I just resize the canvas to be a bit bigger. So I can still keep the 50% size on the viewport and orbit more like 67. But not going till 100% on the zoom. So I resize a bit up the sketch to have a bigger canvas. And then I turn the sketch to a bright blue color. You can find it on a previous video, how to turn the sketch on a bright blue color. And then I just take my preset and I start to draw. So for me inking is not really to just do pretty lines and to redo a drawing. It's a part of drawing itself. So that's why my sketch has not a lot of details. And I try to draw at the inking part. And not just redo a pretty line over an existing line. So here you can see that I detail a bit more everything. I try to make different line weight. So thin line and thicker line. If you want a simple rules, you have the lines outside the character. The silhouette, the main shapes can be a bit thicker. The light material like air, like thin tissue or fabrics. This one can be a little thinner because it's not heavy. And if you have something in metal or something in a solid object, it can be a bit thicker. You can also make thicker line on the shadow part and thinner line on the part where there is some light. And with all these little rules, you can have some clue to make some line variation. That makes sense. Just not a random size variation. But to really think about a system. And this really helps to make a more pleasing result for the eyes. And something more easy to read. So for example, the main shape of the clothes is a more thick line. And the little stroke for the details of the sculpture are really really really really thinner. So if I do the main shape of a clothes, I will do some very thick line. So here I'm even doing a preset on the fly to save a larger version of this brush. And you can find this result brush on the video. Nothing exceptional. But I tried to do the main shape first and then add some little details. Some little stroke that tells about the inner volume. Like the sewing or like the little border. So that's all. It's not very complicated but it's a game because sometimes you have a part in the light but it's also a part of the silhouette. So it's hard to know to do a choice to tell okay this line will be thinner and because it's on the light but it's also a part of the silhouette of the character. So if I want my character to be easy to read, I will need to make it thicker. So there is always some choice to do and that's why I'm switching the brush and the eraser a lot to make a line a bit thicker a bit thinner and to keep drawing at the same time I'm doing all this choice. I will repeat this process on the four characters and because now it's pretty straightforward. I think I spent like three hours on inking all these characters. I will just accelerate now the video a lot. Maybe it will lost a bit of readability. I think I'm already at eight time of the normal video speedup. And I will probably boost it to 20 times or something like this. Anyway thanks for watching this video. I hope you learned something and I hope you will be a bit more confident if you want to do some drawing with Krita. There is a lot of good tools on this software and that's the first time I'm trying to comment a time-lapse with a microphone. So don't hesitate to comment and tell me if it was okay or if it was very hard to understand and I would try to correct myself to make a better video in the future. Have fun with painting and see you next time. I still have a video about the brush setting to do for you. Bye bye.
