how to draw smooth lines in krita

Permit us learn to attain smooth strokes in Kri ta .

Here are the requirements in gild to get started with smooth strokes :

Device : Force per unit area pen tablet ( I am using Wacom Intous Medium).

Brush Pack :Kri ta Brushkit v8.2(Gratuitous). Download it from here.

I prefer using this brush pack by David Revoy (Its complimentary !) and it suits my needs for illustrative work. Its not necessary you lot use these, you tin utilize the default brushes also.

I will exist demonstrating the smoothen strokes on the viking sketch fatigued below :

• Go the pen sketch as a layer in Kri ta.
• And then reduce the opacity by thirty%

Note : Make corrections to the sketch by going over it on some other layer.

As you can see the result down beneath.Nosotros will be using the sketch over for the actual inking.

• Add another layer and telephone call it 'Ink'.
• Choose your inking brush ( I am using the 'deevad 1e inking gpen' from the castor kit.)

• In Brush tool options choose the weighted smoothing pick with default settings.

Notation : Weighted smoothing gives yous an easier control, compared to the Basic smoothing and isquicker than the Stabilizer choice.

3 Quick tips for smooth strokes

ane.Overshooting lines

At present to brainstorm with the inking.

• I first wider and overshoot my lines following the sketch (Do not listen the lines at this point).
• Erase the overshot lines using the aforementioned castor by hitting 'E'(transforms the brush into an erasing brush with the same flow and control).

Go on the number of strokes as minimal as possible, for example the outline of the helmet meridian was done with one unmarried stroke, your work will look neater.

Overshot lines look far more expressive and increase your inking speed because the lines are far smoother too.

Given beneath is a comparison of sketch done with overshooting strokes compared to lines done by advisedly tracing the sketch.

2. Using Basing shapes for line piece of work

There volition always exist areas of sketch where basic shapes tin be used to fill up out the line art.

• In our sketch we tin use the Ellipse tool to draw out the vikings shield.
• And so remove sure areas and fill them out to point dents or cracks giving it a more organic feel.

3. Rotating Canvas for easier line piece of work.

• Rotate the canvas by holding 'Shift+Infinite' .
• Then adjust the angle using the mouse.

This tin can help adjust whatsoever item areas of the drawing which are a bit awkward to depict, particularly when using a pen tablet where you lot don't accept enough room.

Use this approach and complete the residue of the inking. My finished result is shown beneath.
