Видео

Ooo.. nice catch. I totally forgot to edit the invite when I went live. Thank you so much for letting me know 🙏

Happy to help! Got about 20 more videos incoming ha.

Super happy to hear that. I've evolved the theory a lot since this video, actually. I've worked with about 400 students since when it was recorded and I've definitely found that this particular well goes deeper than my flashlight had hit prior. I'll be posting a kinda "part two" fairly soon. Thanks for sticking around and commenting 🙌

I believe it was just two free songs from mixkit that I stacked. I'll check the source file when I'm back on the workstation.

Happy to help! I'm recording a bunch of content and hope to publish this summer. Will cover perspective very in-depth. If you want access sooner, find me on Instagram and I can send you link to some stuff that's already privately uploaded ✌️

Hi! So at 1:54 I'm using a mask. I put a mask on the tree layer and then I selected the mask. I switched to a brush which is good for leaf shapes and I painted on the layer while the mask is selected. Since my foreground color is black, anywhere I added paint to the mask hides the layer content. Using this method I can take the simple original shape of the tree and "cut" leaf silhouettes out. At 3:44 I'm simply painting below all the other layers with a big fuzzy soft round brush. This changes the sky color while the layers above in the layers panel remain unaffected.

@@SourPlanet Got it! Thank you, sir!

@@user-wh4wm3mw7l You're welcome. Hit me up if any complications arise ✌️

Happy to hear it!! This is a part one of the philosophy. I've just started recording new content for the channel and part two video is next in line. So if you need more direct actionable advice, that's coming!

Awesome. Enjoy!

Krita got *really* good with the last update. I've just started recording my new Krita based videos the channel. So more coming!

@@SourPlanet nice! I'll check the out for sure.

Happy to hear it 🙌

You're welcome 🙌

You're welcome! Yeah, I use a ton of photo editing features. Helps the painting have more variety and subtle tones. For the sky, I used an adjustment layer at the top of the soldier's clipping stack. So it effects everything related to the soldier. I tinted everything to be a lot more blue. Adjustment layers come with a mask attached to them, so I filled that mask with black-- which hides the effect completely. Then I grabbed a brush and painted white into the mask of the adjustment layer where ever I wanted ambient blue skylight on the soldier. White on the mask reveals the adjustment layers effect, which "paints" the blue tint into our view.

Thanks man! Nice of you to say. I've had construction in my building that's so loud I can't record 😭 Supposed to be done this month tho.

You're welcome. Glad it helped!

Oh yeah? I had no idea. I very rarely do animation but I'll definitely check that out.

@SourPlanet Its quite a bit better than the photoshop timeline I’ve found. Especially for drawing and layer handling. Dermot O Connor has great videos showing how use the timeline to traditionally animate in Krita

That's a great thing to focus on. One of the most common issues with student and early portfolios is that backgrounds aren't figured out. I'm working on a video about specifically that topic too!

You're welcome 🙌

What does the error say? You should see either a pop up or a line of text in the very bottom bar of the main Blender UI.

We've all been there. I still get there, for sure. Hit me up on Instagram (sour_planet) if you want a second set of eyes. We'll figure it out together.

Slap a sticky note on your monitor 👍

I haven't investigated vector tools in Krita at all yet. I've been using Affinity Designer for vector. They have a vector brush engine. Every single stroke is a vector. Which means you can change the brush tip *after* making a mark. You can also change the shape of the mark, as it's just a series of editable points. It's pretty amazing! But yeah, Krita has come a LONG WAY since I last used it. Leveled up very similar to Blender. Now they make a perfect duo.

@@SourPlanet I never tried affinity, it sounds like what clip studio paint does! Every stroke of brush is vector, you can change size, type of brush, pinch it in midway unlike raster layer, it was awesome feature! Yes! Open source community really awesome, what they have achieved so far make them even more competitive in properiarty program. Blender is great Krita catching up Godot too

The really open one is the bike/running path in central park. Everything else is the little citywide bike lanes and of course weaving through traffic like an idiot 🥳

@@SourPlanet The traffic is so dense in Manhattan I always thought it was near impossible to have fun riding anything other than in a car. I do appreciate the rise of bike lanes though

@@sanjaux Some areas are still pretty impossible for sure. I ride BMX usually and thats always a blast. I don't think I'd attempt any of my routes on a bigger bike though. Gotta stay nimble out there with all these crazies road raging through congestion! I'd love to hit that Van Cortland path someday. Looks great from videos.

You'll see it from me, at least! I've been using it for several personal projects and I'm dropping all the assets and images in the next few weeks.

I wanted to go for a free app. I love Clip Studio too, and I'll definitely be putting out videos for it as well.

Photoshop really has moved in Stockholm Syndrome territory. They were on top for SO LONG that people can't imagine anything else being good. Same for Wacom tablets. It's totally possible to get a Cintiq alternative for under $200 and a free painting app, and use it for pro work. It's my hope that people will see that and continue to ditch Photoshop. Their stance on AI is untenable, imo.

@@SourPlanet 100% agree!!

@@Artist1974CH 🙌

I could definitely see that. Krita is a very "slim" app. Blender is the same way. They whittled down the feature set to be robust yet not bloated - and kept the interface uncluttered.

I mention it briefly in the video. I have tried Gimp a few times over the years. It's never felt right for me. I gave it one last shot and simply couldn't get pressure sensitivity working correctly on either my laptop (Wacom EMR) nor my workstation (XP-pen). Figured if it was meant to be it woulda been by now. Krita, on the other hand, went smoothly right from the getgo. So I took off running with it and decided to permanently shelve Gimp.

@SourPlanet Understandable I also tried gimp but for some strange reason it like having being used to Fruit Loops and downgrading to fruit rings, an off-brand cereal.

@@TacoBear_Studios baha I'll try not to steal that analogy but it's pretty damn good.

I also jump back and forth.. and totally agree about the lasso fill thing. Every program should have that tool. It's simply incomparable. I'd probably pay the cost of CS just to have it in Krita ha.

Aw, thanks. That's very kind of you 🥹

Love me some Clip Studio. My favorite paid app for sure. Krita brush engine is super fun. Whatever it lacks from Photoshop it more than makes up for in actual usability. I haven't messed with Filters at all yet. I'll check 'em out!

@@SourPlanet dont even get me started on ai.

@@alex_oiman 100%. That topic is so infuriating that if I bump into someone who isn't also immediately ready to go to war over it, I'm taking them to war on the spot. The line is in the sand and anyone who knows anything has been on the right side of it for a while now.

@@SourPlanet infuriating and depressing at the same time. commissions have dropped drastically and i'm seriously looking to change fields to 3d. also. i've just noticed i originally replied in the wrong comment thread.

@@alex_oiman I totally understand. Switching career paths myself. I work with a lot of students and a lot of them are having similar concerns for sure. I don't feel like there's a good answer currently. The players in tech are embracing oblivion and ignoring the ramifications, as always. I think our tiny little gain is that art for arts sake is making a comeback in a big way. Of course we have to ignore massive problems to even see that... but it's there, and we can face it for some relief.

You here in the city too??

yes lol@@SourPlanet

@@valentinocaronte Nice. There are a lot of good meetups and groups based around digital painting here. You should jump in!

where do you think i can find some?@@SourPlanet

@@valentinocaronte MeetUp(dot)com has a few. I also host a weekly get-together with a few students for learning vizdev art, and I'm planning to set up digital plein air get-togethers this spring. You can certainly join us.

Thanks! I'm always down for a chat. Find me on Instagram: sour_planet

🥳🤘🎸

Happy to hear it! Do you have IG? Always on the hunt for artists to follow.

Hi again, why are my messages erased?

@@CrMav Oh are they? RUclips must have done some sort of filtering. I didn't even get an alert for any new messages 😵 You can find me on IG as sour_planet

@@SourPlanet XD. I've just written you there. I found your profile.

@@CrMav Sweet! Got it 🙌

Are you in the render preview, using cycles?

It wasn't too specific to 2.34, but I did use a more cinemascope resolution. What I usually do is make a new canvas that's 239 wide by 100 tall. Then I go to image>image size in the menu and resize to a larger resolution. I base that resize choice on how much detail I need. If I'm just sketching, then probably 1200 wide and 72px res. This keeps the file nimble while I sketch. Later on- at detail phase- I size up to something more like 4k res.

Yes, that's true. I didn't even think of it because I do often lay in flats then start editing the palette by just double tapping each layer. I've been exploring the properties dialogue a lot lately. Some powerful tools showing up there! Especially on raster layers.

Very welcome! It's a simple thing, but so many tiny steps to make it actually work out.

I've learned in life that the simplest things can often be the most difficult to learn and master, that's why I was so grateful for your tutorial. You made it easy to follow and understand, allowing me to be productive with my blender experience. Thank you so much. @@SourPlanet

Glad you found it helpful 🙌

Are you in cycles and in the render preview viewport view?

Thank you so much. That's a very nice thing to say.
