OH MY GOD I SWEAR I WAS GONNA ASK YOU HOW CAN I FIX THIS! I LITERALLY THOUGHT ABOUT IT LAST NIGHT WHEN I WAS DRAWING and you are already knowing THANK YOU!!!!
YES! PERFECT TIMING! Very glad to share this with ya pal
I'm a beginner digital artist, I've been drawing traditional almost half my life so this was really helpful to me 🙂👍
Me drawing in 1px for my first drawing and 2px for my 2nd.... I'll go ahead and up that now....
I also struggled with knowing what Canvas pixelxpixel size to use!
Knowing what I know now, Here’s what I recommend for reference : the flipaclip canvas sizes are great reference, to show how big art will show up on phone, RUclips, etc.
anything bigger than those sizes are higher resolution, better!
Thank you for this awesome video! 🙏🏻 ✨
you are like the teacher that everyone likes, love you and ur vids!
Aw thank you so much
I tried all you said and what fixed it was tool options, having the brush smoothing at weighted, since it doesn't happen then, but not at stabilizer, since such a delay. Even when I paint slow, no worries. Thanks a bunch with the resolution tip too, bro bro! ^_~
This was exactly what I needed to know, Thank you :)
I'm so thankful for this channel 🥺
Thank you, I've been trying to figure out how to smooth out these lines
Thank you. This has made my day
AHHHH OMG I FIXED IT U FIXED MY ISSUE OMG I HAD GO WATCH ALL THE VIDEOS FINALLLY, omg it’s beeen so long of struggling I didn’t realize the size of the canvas was my issue
Hi! This video was posted a while ago but just thought I should point out that you can actually make the stablizer option not delayed or far from your pen/finger/cursor, you just have to change the "distance" and "delay" to 0%.
Of course! ruclips.net/video/7epKupnxIDA/видео.html
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THISSSSS
I CD feel circle of enlightenment forming around my phone THANK YOU AND CANT STRESS THIS ENOUGH
Thank you dude my drawings sucked before watching this! Appreciate it
Thank you so much for this!
That intro made me question my existance
Hyuk Hyuk Hyuk
That cringe got me ngl
Thank you so much!!!! Now my problem is solved!!!!
love you bro!!
I feel attacked yet taken care of all at the same time, i love this thankyou for all your help! :]
Haha! Very glad to help :)
Mine was on stabilizer, and when I drew fast it would create edges in my lines. So I turned it to basic and it fixed it. Thank you’
That anti aliasing saved my day. Now i can really test out the Krita
Thank you so much!! :-D
thank you so so so much Sir !!! this is exactly where i was stuck!!! thanks a lot Sir for such an helpful and simple video!!!!!!!!!!!
ANYTIME!!!!
2d characters for games are meant to be 64x by 64×. What size would you draw that in krita?
resolution depends on what you're gonna use it for.
if you're trying to paint textures for 3d, 3k resolution usually sounds overkill (unless you're making something super detailed)
Wow thanks so much!!! fixed my struggles in seconds
You're welcome!
That's blurry to you?
You have been living on a high horse buddy :(
That is blurry. Blurry is a fluctuating term.
@@TutsByKai I know, I unfortunately have it way more blurry and I can't seem to fix it :(
The video helped others I see but not me
@@hello-kp7go didnt work for me either :(
Expand canvas?
@@inkflare7232 nothing works for me, I literally tried everything lol. What is it? 5 months since I commented that? It's still blurry, I draw on my phone now I dropped low to that smh
me who is animating on 1280 x 720: well crap
Thanks! This helped wonderfully, I was using 300 by 400 pixels 😅
So glad I found this video!!!! You don't even wanna know what my canvas size was. Letsssss just say it was waaayy below 800
Hahaha! So very glad to help
Hello, I've been messing around with my brushes on krita and I put stabilizer on and I now can't take it off. Do you know how to turn it off?
You just gotta select the Brush tool, then look at the 'Tool Options' to change those settings.
This is a great video I'm gonna have to try those tricks with the tool brush smoothing settings and anti-alias options! I do have a question about posting to social media, particularily instagram. Is there a way to draw on a big canvas and then resize it for Instagram's tiny 1080 x 1080 pixel limits without losing the quality? Been trying to figure out how to achieve this for my 2048 x 2048 drawing
Awesome video i need this information though.
so canvas size is 3k px by 3k px, anti aliasing is still on, brush stabilizer doesnt affect the lines, and the lines are still jagged/pixely/blurry so i guess rip me...
Same here
Saaame, it is really annoying me now.
You're underrated, man.
OMG MAN DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH TIME YOU JUST SAVED ME BRUHHHH
Thank you so much
Him: says not to do smaller than 800
Me: doing pixel art in 100-300 ;-;
That's different. Pixel art is SUPPOSED to be done that way, because it's literally low resolution by design lol. I know you probably know that, but I figured I would reply in case anyone else reads this and is new to art.
Hey man thanks for the vids, you've helped a couple times. I watched both of your videos on jagged lines and have followed all of the steps, my lines are still super pixelated / jagged, at any level of zoom. It's so bad I can't fill a circle with paint bucket. Seems to be getting worse, I can only fill if I use a line about 3.5 width, which is too thick. I had the same issue on Corel Painter before I switched to Krita. Tried 2 pens and mouse, all the same, I don't think it's a hardware issue. Any more ideas?
Thanks ! Spot on (y)
Hey question, lets say you're painting in 3k by 3k then you get done painting, how do you get rid of all that big extra empty space and keep the quality of your painting? Do you A crop the canvas down or B decrease canvas size, maybe you could make a video on this?
Great question! I typically only crop the canvas if I believe there's "Dead Space" in the piece, not just to make the canvas smaller. I WILL make a video on this :)
Ahhhhhhhh please someone explain to me why my art looks normal on the computer but when I look at it through my phone the little details are pixelated, they only “un-pixelate” when I zoom in
Question? Once I finished an outline art picture and post it on twitter how do I get rid of the squares around the outside of the outline?
Can't figure out how to do this on 4.3.0. Could I get some help with that as well as how to lock touch rotation? (I use a touch screen computer to draw)
Very helpful
my brushes are pixly on the edges. like really pixly. how do i fix that. i tryed everything you did but it didnt do anything...
THANKU
My problem is that my brush changed and became all jagged within the same project. Having the same brush smothing selected (weighted) the lines look all pixelated, even when using the assistant (the lines drawn using the spline assistant look worse than those drawn free hand !) I can't figure out what settings might have inadvertedly changed, as I did not modify anything in the brush editor from the freehand phase to the spline phase. A suggestion would be very much appreciated, thank you.
Thank you so much! one question, if I wanna design a wallpaper that fits the whole screen on my pc should I do 3000x3000 pixels or use the 4k 3840 x 2160 ? also does the resolution have to be 300 or higher?
I want to know too
Thank you so much for this. I'm much wiser now master...😄LOL
Hi! I do commission art that usually requires 320x160px. I see other works that have crisp clean lines. I still can't figure out how to fix this :( if you know twitch, i'm talking about twitch panels. Is there any way I can achieve that on a small canvas?
Draw big, then scale it down. Drawing in that tiny resolution is unheard of as it might as well just be pixel art :)
Hey..I am new to this program but am wondering if i can create fonts like you can in procreate. would the digital bamboo pen work for that
So I have a question, would if I want to draw for a certain app and the app only allows like a dimension smaller then 2000 px?
Yes thank you so much! 😭😭I’ve literally been trying for hoursss
It’s hard cuz I’m using a base to practice anatomy but the base is only 749 by 982 so I can’t work that well with it. But like, the line art on said base is super crisp. But when I try and draw it gets blurry easy.
what dimensions should i use to draw emotes on?
Thank you so much man. I was really bothered bout my blurry lines and I thought 1200 to 1200 was decent. I guess it was not.
Hey can I use this on small canvas? Do is it still works?
OMG MY HEROOOOO
5:40 love the sound effect!
I can’t find the anti aliasing option at all when I click on the brush settings
Like under general, all I have is Brush, Blending Mode, Size, and Spacing.
Hey i have a question.
When i copy a layer, the lines are getting blurry. How do i fix this?
"Look at those Jags!" LOL 😂
Ok so I've got everything like you do, a big canvas(2480x3508) and anti aliasing on the brush but the lines still look jagged, even if I zoom in and out, the lines just look like they are made of stairs. Is there something else I should do?
If you zoom in on the line a lot, it's going to look like that no matter what. But with the canvas at 100%, it should look fine :)
Switch software is only solution
What about the fact that I can upload ONLY a 800x1280 sized drawing on Webtoons? Any suggestions? :(
I would try making the eraser tool big and erasing the edges of the lineart... maybe even draw on a bigger canvas then import and resize it
draw in a big scale then scale the canvas down when you are done
Nice! :D
Maybe I’m not listening- I’m still having issues?
When I zoom in, the stroke looks nice and smooth. When I zoom out, it looks too sharp and you can see some pixels. Is that normal?
I’m using above 2000 (2000-4000) canvas size with 300 PPI, I use custom brush stamps for my brushes as well but use mostly rounded ones.
Any advice?
ha.
that first one woulda been good to know before I created a canvas size that is 1300 by 900 and spent 2 hours on a drawing I haven't even finished yet :)
Oof?
Oh no! Well, at least you didn't spend 6 hours on it :)
If this ever happens to anyone else reading, just scale up your resolution to a decent size (at least full HD, but higher is better) and paint over. This way, you're not losing all the work you've already done.
Hello! Would 6500 x 6500 be too big? I noticed that some of my artwork looks mega pixelised? I use a 6500 x 6500 canvas, b)_Basic 1 brush, pixel (brush size) on 4,00 and I bucket fill my lineart (its a style preference). I don't know what happened but everything seems off - I also draw with my mouse, so all help would be welcome
It's krita. I tried every other drawing software and lines aren't pixelated.
I draw in 8K resolution lol but when zoom in still got pixels but i guess that is to be expected
How did you get to that setting at 3:55
I'm super late to this but I used 4k by 6k and it still looks pixelated 💀 what does that mean
I have been drawing in 800 by 800 this whole time! No wonder I couldn't make shirts!!!
Ive done and watched so much tutorials nothing seems to work I made it 1920 x 1080 and 600 resolution still blurry I change the settings turned off everything except size its still blurry turn on auto spacing and anti-aliasing its still blurry
I draw with my brush on 2 (for the final Lineart) and It keep with jags even doing all the stuff of your vídeos, how i correct that?
I forgot to say that is with (almost super, like 200% or sum) zoom
Nice
I've done all this but my work is still really blurry...any tips?
hello im knew to krita and i wanted to know if you knew or have made a video on how to take an art pic and send it to a phone or device
if u have Bluetooth on ur pc and phone, you can use that or u can upload ur photo to google drive.
Very true, Toni! Also, the easiest way is probably to email it to yourself :) But, I typically use Google Drive. I pay a monthly subscription - but they give you 10 or 15 gb for FREE :) PLENTY of space for images :)
Unfortunately when I go too high on the canvas size, say 3000x2500...my laptop sounds like it's about to explode anytime I zoom in, undo a line, or just save the project. Any tips to fix that?
Not much you can do! Sounds like the laptop might now be powerful enough to handle the larger resolution :( Try 2000px maximum! You got this!
@@TutsByKai I actually figured out another tool yesterday called "dynamic brush"... I couldn't believe how amazingly smooth it is no matter the canvas size. It's great with ink g_pen and ink rough pen
isn't anti aliasingh on by default?
can you edit the resolution without making anew canvas?
Yup. Should be up in the Image section I believe.
I have a problem with my line art where the larger the canvas size and the FARTHER I zoom out the more pixelated my lines look. I have tried anti aliasing, all your tips, and I can’t find any solution on the internet someone please help it happens on any device and any software.
That's just how screens work. Search Google for a 12k wallpaper, and the same thing will happen. Basically, it's SO clear that the screen has to compress what you're seeing. Don't worry, it's fine :)
TutsByKai but I’ve seen other people using large canvases and it looks fine?
@@aerop6395 I'm late but I think if you're working on a 4k canvas and your screen is 4k then it'll look good, if you're working on a 4k canvas but your screen is around 1080p I guess it'll look bad and that's normal. Not rly sure tho, that's what I've heard :P
I've been trying to make emotes for discord tho... 2000 x 2000 for emotes seems a bit much when I have to resize it down so much :( thanks though
Hey Kai, I've watched a ton of videos, including all of yours on this topic and nothing seems to work. I can't figure out why my lines are still jagged and pixelated.
What res are you drawing in? Anything under 2000 x 2000 is small.
You need to understand krita is BITMAP based painting so you need to start with right pixel resolution setup.
BTW if you've already have drawned line art, try DL inkscape and use tracing feature to convert yours to vector and resizing there.
Export as PNG -important in Krita and just continue from there
@@TutsByKai Thank you for responding! I have since figured out that my issue was with the actual moniter I was working on, making it seem pixilated.
But what if i already started my work on a low resolution? How can I change the resolution on a document i have already created?
You can't I think:(
F
500x500 is the twitch emote size. do i just scale it down?
Yes! Draw big, scale it down!
i wanna create a logo, should i also use 3000x3000 for this?
100%! 3k is a great res, especially because the art won't typically be all the way out to the edges - so 3k canvas will be approximately a 2.5k size logo. If that makes sense.
@@TutsByKai would you draw the logo big so it will take up the whole place or would you draw it a little bit smaller
Ohh thank you I was drawing on 80 to 31
omg I feel so stupid now... I worked for hours on a sketch and couldn't understand why my line art is so bad... I worked on 1000x1000 *facepalm* Anyways thank you so much!!
him: pls don't draw on aything under 2000pxls
me, a webtoon artist: *tightens suicide rope*
Don't you need to be running Krita on a desktop to smoothly draw in such big resolutions? I'm working on a laptop and it be freezing when I go to such big resolutions :/
Yes, it could be difficult in higher res' :/
Me who draws at 5000 x 5000 at 600 dpi "My goals are beyond your understanding."
HAHAHAHAHA
STOOOP DRAWING IN 800 BY 800!!! XD
My problem is that the brush tip doesn't go cha cha real smooth it goes cha cha real bad, y'know what I mean?
is 10000 good
Draw on 4k like I was animation at 720p and doing a small eye and it was so pixelated I thought I will be able to post it in the resolution in which I draw but 1080 didn't helped but 4k works like a charm I draw in so big canvas I was doing in 720p becoz I thought of that but I Got some mind now😂😂😂
its still blurry for me
tkis kinda worked but now im doing 4200 x 4600 and at 200% its still blurry
actually thank you, turns out 200 is a bit too much for that res
Yup! That's because if you zoom into anything at 200% it's gonna not gonna be as clear :)
TutsByKai thanks
Bruh do you not use stabilizer
