No, of course not.ĭo I learn something new as an artist each time I use real life reference? Yes.ĭo I think my art looks better because of it? Yes.Īnyway, I just thought I'd add this here because I know it can be hard to motivate yourself to learn from real life when what you really want to do is draw anime style. I see it all the time, they draw the creases in the arm always going from where the sleeve starts toward the elbow, but actually, if you look at real life reference, sometimes the creases go the other way, depending on the position of the arm. It also means I can retain my own style AND make the lines more realistic, because sometimes other artists don't get it right. If I had only used anime references I don't think I could have achieved the same level of depth as I have by using real life references. Here is an example of the reference I used for the elbow creases alone: But even when you move past that stage, I still use real life reference all the time. ^_^Īs for how real life reference can help improve drawings - I think most people are talking from an anatomic perspective.

I prefer the lighter ones, since you asked.
#KRITA PAINT BUCKET FREE#
I would probably give a VN with that kind of art a chance if it was free to play and I knew the writer was good. I think your art is cute, if a bit wobbly! The second character I liked especially, nice colours (I know you mentioned it's not your original design but you still replicated it nicely). But the auto save functions sounds really handy! lol. PS: Animation aside, your work looks pretty great.Īww, goodness, sorry. True now that I quickly googled for bucket tolerance it does seem that Krita has something like that, will have to give it a try, thanks for letting me know about that.
#KRITA PAINT BUCKET PC#
In Krita selection/wand toll actually leaves even more of those lines then bucket so I had already been doing what you suggested (Drawing big, mostly around 4K and doing color on a separate layer so I can fix it easier without messing up a linear.) I could try going even bigger, but that would increase lag/freeze as bigger resolutions also put more strain on PC and Krita has a very high PC requirements, especially since I use auto save function witch saves everything every couple of lines since while that does increase freeze/crash it also makes sure that if something happens I don't lose any of my work. (See no white, and it was made from a huge image so even if there were, you can't really tell. Here's an example of using my work.Excuse the terrible animation, I'm no animator.

) AND IF THATS FAILS, you can always draw really big and then scale it down. I usually use the colors on a separate layer with the magic wand tool (Easier to clean up those white lines without messing up the black ones.
#KRITA PAINT BUCKET HOW TO#
I never used Krita so I don't know how to fix it.but if there's an option to use increase the tolerances for paint bucket that might help. (So like your lines are actually a black line with grey so it looks really smooth.) The paint bucket doesn't fill those other colors, just the empty pixels.

(Photoshop has the exact same problem as well) Basically those spaces are because of of anti-aliasing pixels of lighter colors are generated along edges in order to make it look smooth. I asked for the program so I can tell you how to avoid that.
