I'm left-handed and work with GIMP. I reassigned all my most used shortcuts to the number pad. My workflow has been banging ever since! I even printed a cheat sheet on an index card until I got used to them. 😂
Woooo I didn't know some of these shortcuts this video is very usefull! I want to tell you 1 more (or just an "half-shortcut"): in photoshop, when you rotate the canvas with R, you can use Esc to reset the default view
This helped me A LOT! like you have no idea. You just broke like...10 major learning curves I had on digital art in general! I'm totally subscribing for life.
Can you do the same video for ipad apps like Clip Studio? I bought a few keyboards for my ipad this year but I'm not so sure which keys to use for which action.
Woah. This is SUPER beginner level stuff. The keyboard shortcut information is what I'm talking about. That skillshare course I've already seen. I have a different workflow for my artwork and content creation here, but it was a very good series. I just wish he talked more about texture painting and would have slowed his video down. But that said, I haven't had too much difficulty with texture painting. I didn't realize that this video "shortcuts" were talking about keyboard shortcuts. It seems obvious now. I thought it would be more art related and less software and tablet specific. But it wasn't false advertising. Good video. Thanks for providing it. Thumbs up.
My favorite shortcuts are definitely cntrl+t for free transform and the brackets for brush size that you mentioned. Use them constantly. My "tablet" is actually my laptop which folds backwards onto itself to be used as a full 15.6" tablet with a Wacom digitizer screen. So I just got a blue tooth keyboard that I can use while I draw in tablet mode like that. That way I can still use all the keyboard shortcuts with my left hand.
I clicked on the thumbnail of this video thinking, “no way! A good digital artist that uses MediBang!” (I use MediBang) And then you started talking about tablets, and I just thought “there’s no way she uses an xp pen” aND THEN YOU DID!
For some reason I never thought of setting a shortcut for changing my brush size. So thanks to your video I changed that. I actually use Clip Studio but your explanation still helped me a lot!^^
This must be the millionth time Im watching a video sponsored by Skillshare and I still have no idea what Skillshare is. A place where you share skills I guess. Like RUclips.. BUT it does tell me it's going to be a good video, which it is!
Honestly keyboard shortcuts in general are pretty new to me. I've only been aware of their existence for a few months and I've been digital arting for years! So control Z and B are still amazing to me. But the one I seem to use the most is the brush size and the eyedropper. They have made things go SO0 much faster.
Love the music in this video ✌️ I posted my first art video today... More to come!! Loving your channel... I've been bouncing around your channel and adding lots to my watch later 😁
I have the same tablet, I've set the front button of my pen to CTRL+ALT, which makes it even quicker to adjust while painting! You just need to get used to not pressing it unintentionally. 😅 I used the left scroll circle for rotating and zooming and the right for opacity and hardness. This leaves room for a few more shortcuts. 😁
Hi Nadia! I really love your video! I recently started drawing with a Wacom Intuos and I find that one of the biggest problems for me is not knowing the digital programs and what functions are what and how it all works. This video is a nice short overview that taught me a lot! thankyou!
I don't know about photoshop, but in several other somewhat similar programs, you can have an "instant" colorpicker, that doesn't really change the brush or tool you're using. I guess in GIMP it's holding Control and then "clicking" or touching with the stylus the color you want to pick. Seems to me far more convenient than using a key to color-pick "indefinitely" and then another go back to the tool you're using. Some programs (MyPaint and Krita) will even allow for a stylus button to be a similar color picker, while you hold it, it's in a color picker mode, and then you release and continue painting. I can't quite get what use an "intefinitely on" color picker could have, outside the context of graphic design, when you want to actuall "map" which colors are around, and take note on some paper in order to modify according to style or write some style manual. There well may be, in painting/drawing, some use for a a color picker that doesn't automatically revert back to the tool you're using, though, I don't know.
Awwwww i really did love hearing you saying "Feliz Navidad!!" .. my best tip for artists .. is always to see your videos.. you're so nice explaining stuffs..even i can understand easy! Big huggies, and wish you a merry Christmas or whatever you celebrate there along with aaaall your loved ones 2, 3 and 4 feets ones 😁🐭🐭🐭🐶... And humans! 💖💖💖💖
Another smother way to zoom n and out is Ctrl+ space Rotate smoothly is alt+ space I found these out by mistake but this is the best mistake I ever made in my life lol
Thanks for content of such quality! I've been trying to switch over digital media for a while now and your videos were of enormous help! Seeing your process really has helped me develop my own! As for shortcuts I do use "New Layer" a lot as to organize my drawings!
Thanks so much for sharing! My husband and I use sketchbook pro and we have Wacom tablet that I use and one thing I did for the stylist pen was made the two buttons on the pen be my info and redo tools. The brush size and zoom tool are on our rotate nob, which it's not really a nob but there is a circle spot on the table that is sunk in and smooth. You press the middle of the circle to change between your actions. I look forward to checking out skill share. I have seen it in your other videos and finally will be able to try it. Happy holidays!!!
Very nice shortcuts! You give us insight into your method! I believe that these are essential for every digital artists who want to work well! I am stepping away from the digital realm yet I can still see the merits of your shortcuts! Oh . . . . . My Secret::::::::: Do not waste time working on artworks you do not care about. Life is so short and before you know it 30 years have passed and you want your art to have its own “voice” some of us are still trying to get there! Never give up! This is the most important thing to remember.
To be able to rotate in any increment is medibang use alt space and you can turn is as much as you want also to easily flip the canvas in medibang using the up and down arrows is what flips it, at least this is what I have discovered that works for me
The drawing tablet I’ve been wanting to buy has a touch wheel on it, and the touch wheel has an inner and outer ring that can be mapped to different things. I can’t wait until I have the money to buy it. It’s pretty cheap, but I’m broke.
(On mac replace ctrl with command and replase alt with option) These shortcuts work with clip studio paint and photoshop Ctrl J - dupplicates layer. If you are on photoshop and you have a selection it duplicates the selection Ctrl shift i - inverts selection Ctrl i - inverts colours. Press ctrl i again to go back to the original colours Ctrl shift s - save as When using any of the selection tools and you press shift it adds to the selection and if you press alt it takes away from the selection. If you ctrl click on the layer icon you can get a selection outline of the layer Ctrl a - selects all Ctrl d - deselects everything Ctlr k - opens up photoshop preferences Alt ctrl c - change canvas size Alt ctrl i - change image size Ctrl + zooms in Ctrl - zooms out Ctrl 0 resets zoom Some windows only shortcuts Win e - opens up explorer Win d - shows desktop, minimises all programmes. You can press win d again to get all your programmes reminimised Win m - minimises programmes Win prtscr - screenshot that saves directly to your computer. Found in pictures/screenshots
Hi Nadiaxel - thanks for great content:) I'm taking my first few steps into digital drawing (got an XP-pen artist 13.3 pro incoming) and have been researching what software to use. I've narrowed it down to Medibang or Sketchbook pro. Can you perhaps give me your thoughts in which one of them I should use? Thank you so Much! Merry christmas!
Heyo! Happy holidays! I’ve personally used both apps for art, and I can easily say that MediBang is much easier and more efficient compared to sketchbook pro. Like you said before, MediBang is almost exactly like photoshop compared to sketchbook pro, which is more like Microsoft paint but with a few extra brushes. If you do decide to use MediBang, their website has really easy to follow guides on how to use all the tools in the app (which is really nice because you’ll always be finding new tools you can use!) Anyways this is probably not super helpful, but hopefully it helped a little 👍
@@gracebo4928 you are exactly what I needed - someone who has tried both. Medibang here I come 😎 Thank you very much for your reply and happy holidays!
Damn den XP pen tablet er grande! Rigtig god og informativ video! Rigtig glædelig jul Nadia. Håber i får en super dejlig jul, og masser af god maaaaad.
Great video! Those are the shortcuts I often use and put on my tablet's shortcut keys as well! With the exception of fill, because I put a "shift" key that I often use with Transform tool (it keeps aspect ratio when resizing) and it's also good for multi-select. I also can't use any tablets that have less than 8~10 shortcut keys now, I'm guilty of using all of them on a daily basis and won't complain about having more lol... PS. I also see that you have the XP-PEN Artist 22R Pro, it looks great!
so i want to get into digital art (terrible at drawing) but i was wondering would it be better to get a drawing tablet or a ipad pro so im not limited to only drawing at home on my desktop?
I think it might depend on whether you are counting on drawing alot outside your house? I have both a home tablet and an iPad Pro. I often travel, work out of my home or go to meetups so I need to be able to take it with me, but when I'm home I prefer my big workspace and my "home tablet" - especially for recording my process. So I think it depends on whether you will feel limited without being able to take it with you or if its just a "nice to" 🤗
Your brain interprets time differently as time passes by and as you get older. People told to count the seconds that go by without looking at a clock reliably count the seconds slower than young people.
Time goes fast when you're an adult because we can afford to do what we want and we generally don't have to wait for the permission of others to do stuff. Also if we have jobs we like we don't need to spend 6-8 hours of our day bored out of our minds.

ctrl+space lets you zoom in and out too and returns to the previous tool when youre done!
You can use Alt+Delete (key) to Fill "stuff" with Foreground color. Works with Text, Selection, Shapes, Layes etc...
i got really excited when I saw the lore olympus fan art :D
Happy holidays! Thanks so much for these shortcuts, I didn’t know many of them.
