Here are 4 ways to color your line art with Krita.
Option 1 0:58 (coloring with a brush)
Option 2 8:32 (using masks)
Option 3 12:27 (using shape_fill brush)
Option 4 16:05 (using G'MIC filter)

Another way you can color your lineart: Make two layers: One lineart, and one paint-layer. Put the paint-layer in a group, but keep the lineart outside the group. Fill all the bounds in the paint-layer inside the lineart with one single color. This paint-layer will be your "base layer".
Now, make a new layer above the base-layer, and there should be an option called "inherit Alpha" on it. Enable it. Now paint whatever color you want, and it shouldn't paint outside the bounds.
It's a very convenient option. XD
+Tushant Mirchandani (Cyan Los) Hi, could you explain what you mean by "Fill all the bounds in the paint-layer inside the lineart with one single color." I'm not sure if I understand it.
Katarzyna Oleska Okay, here's what I mean basically. imgur.com/mIdufBx
Paint your flats as you normally would (as you demonstrated in the video), but keep the layer structure in mind as shown in that image. Then, just besides the "Lock" and "visibility" icon in those layers, and just before "Lock Transparency", there's also "Inherit Alpha" that you can enable for all the layers above the base-layer in the group.
What it does is that it borrows the alpha of the base-layer (and all the layers below that don't have "Inherit Alpha" enabled) and uses it as a quick clipping mask. That way, you can keep painting and shading without having to worry about spillage and edges. :)
Tushant Mirchandani thanks. Very useful
What about changing the color of the lines? Is that possible?
@@KatarzynaOleskaArt hey, how can i have the same lay out krita as yours?
Krita is lightyears ahead of any other coloring application out there, in my opinion...amazed.
I got a tablet about six hours ago. Now I know how to colour a thing. Very much appreciated!
This comment is me, today. Haha.
I'm so new to digital. I feel so lost. I still cant even get my line art that clean.
Same here, Just keep using it! you'll feel better in no time, keep watching tortiels
@@caseyco3026 I have been! Lol it's very hit or miss so far. I'm trying to trace old paper and pencil stuff to being digital but I just cant make it feel the same.
@@mjsibylline8418 that's exactly what I'm doing now I have most of everything down I'm just so confused about coloring it in and shading
@@woahdude446 I still haven't colored anything I like D: I am however getting better with the line art finally! I was trying to use much too small a brush. I was treating it like a real pencil where you want the lines as light and thin as possible. I feel like the reverse is true in digital. Big soft brushes for pose work. Then I've been using a thicker pen for line and its really helped. Hopefully it just gets better ^_^
Same 😩 learning the basics is where I'm at sooo many features idk where and how to start...currently trying to figure out the layers and how they work...🙄😭
I've been using Krita for like 8 months, slowly figuring out more efficient ways to paint by myself. This tutorial taught me so many new things that will definitely help me, so thank you!
5 years later and newbies like me still appreciate this video :) I love method 3. Thanks!
what’s the name of the brush in method 3?
@@davidmaftei9145 Shapes Fill Brush, the image is a green, cone shaped, skinny neck flask. You can search for the brush name as 't)_Shapes_Fill'. If you type in shape, it will also come up.
this video helped me SO MUCH. I have been struggling with krita and coloring for two days now (new to the app) and I'm so happy how my drawing came out!
Thanks Kate! Your channel is a great resource for Krita beginners.
Thank you SOOOO much for this tutorial. It was beyond helpful. I just began digital art and recently bought my very first Wacom. Kept telling myself THERE HAS TO BE AN EASIER WAY lol and then I come across your video and it’s exactly what I was looking for. Thanks again.
I can't like this video enough! Thank you! I'm getting into digital painting and this is a life saver!
This video was very helpful. Thank you so much for showing all these different methods Kate Oleska!
I've only recently started using a tablet and am using Krita. Your tip about the shape tool is a lifesaver, thanks!
My mind is blown! I had no idea you could color this quickly with Krita... so much time saved. Thanks!
Thank you for tutorial, I'm getting back into drawing and attempting to go from pencil to drawing tablet. This guide has helped.
You are a goddess :) the 4th technique with the filter is totally awesome and I would have never been able to find it out if you had not showed it. I am going to use it to base fill my drawings its so fast and I can get started with shading and highlights way faster if I can get the base fill done fast. Thank you so much. I love Krita and this technique makes me love it even more :)
Super helpful, straightforward, and organized! Lovely time stamps too. I appreciate you don't just jump to the "most useful" methods of coloring, by demonstrating all of the method I can see the pros and cons not to mention the one I would rather go with. G'mic is really neat.
You are the GOAT for showing me that little chemistry glass button!
Thank you so much for the tutorial, also your drawings and color methods are absolutely beautiful. :D
Thanks for this tutorial. I really am not a fan of how long paint by brush takes so you have saved me a lot of time! Appreciated!
About to try Krita, glad I found your channel.
When is CZcams gotta have a heart button? I more than like this!
As a method for blocking in the lineart it looks easier. For now I am still using photoshop but a mixture of methods will certainly speed things up. Thanks for covering another area I also haven't tried yet.
You're welcome and thank you!
I have a lot of love for this video, thank
You have the best tutorials. Thanks!
+Shakespeare Aw, thank you so much!
you just helped me take one more step away from just leaving my drawing after lineart.. have a like and a sub
I am new to Krita, and this is very helpful. Thank you.
I am new to Krita and this was amazing. Thank you.
so glad there's a faster colorize tool of the last option now
Fantastic tutorial! Thank you! You turned me into another of your subscribers. 😊
Very nicely done! Thanks for the tut, very helpful!
Happy I could help :)
Very Good! Congratulations Kate Oleska! Thanks for tutorial!
You're welcome, Alessandro.
12:47 The brush name is called a **'Shapes Fill Brush'**, the image is a green, cone shaped, skinny neck flask. You can search for the brush name as 't)_Shapes_Fill'. If you type in the word shape , it will also come up.
Thank You Because She Never Said The Fucking Name Of The Brush.
amazing video , i keep coming back to it
This helped me understand G'Mic a bit more cause goodness I was lost. Thankies!
Happy I could help!
Keep doing these awesome tutorials
Fill brush (option three) is a dope idea. Thank you for the video! :)
+Wayne Parker Glad I could help! :)
wow thank you exactly what I've been looking for.
EXTREMELY helpful, thank you
Oh my god this helped so much, I used photoshop and gimp for ages but I finally wanted to start using Krita and this was soooo helpful!! Thank you. :)
You're welcome! I'm glad I could help! :)
Thank you, it was interesting. And a new for me was Option 3, with shape_fill brush.
Thank you for showing us and actually showing us the steps. My searching for helpful how to's have mostly been, "I will show you how." Then it is a speed art and no explanation of the steps and tools.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Thank you so much :) It was so much helpful !!
Super duper useful and well-explained. Thank you.
You're welcome :)
Bravo!! Wow, this was GREAT! Thank you so much, you helped me understand alot of things in Krita. I have Gimp, but it's harder to work with, at least for me. Thank you again! Have an Awesome Turkey Day! Happy Thanksgiving
Thank you very much. I use krita and every day a can learn something new with your tutorials!!!!!

Excellent vid! Been struggling with this.
Gabriel Ståhl I'm glad you like it!

Very good instruction. Thanks
Thank you so much, it really helps
Great tutorial. Thanks.
Thank you for this tutorial!
great tips, especially tip 4!
I am very new in digital painting and of course finally after a long research I decided for Krita. It seems to be quite exciting for a traditional painter( I use watercolor ). So I followed your video with a very big attention and honest I really loved your brush you've used in the first option . My question is ( how could I get something like this ? it seems to behave like a pastel pencil in traditional art and I really love the result you've got with it . Thank you very much.
Your video was so helpful I going for option 2 the making and I do have a question, do you have a video about shading the drawing?
Very nice video ! I've shared it on the G+ page of the G'MIC project :)
+G'MIC Thank you! :)
شكرا جزيلا لك ... thank you very much . The lesson was very useful. I used the program for the first time, to compare it with Photoshop and Illustrator. Thanks again and excuse me for my English
What is the tool that you used to color which was like the masking tool and a brush at the same time?
I know this is old and you probably figured it out already but for anyone else its called "Shapes fill" and the image looks like a little chemistry bottle.
A quick way to get to it in the brush presets is to use the drop down menu and select digital.
thank you so much this help me so much.
thank you so much for this!!!
Cool, thank you a lot for sharing this!
Thanks!!!!! This helped me a lot:33
These methods are good to go through, but later in Krita 4 they brought the new colorize mask tool which is pretty awesome, and would probably replace the G'Mic method. Still worthwhile for some tips like that brush in method 3 that is a kind of live fill tool that I did not know about. Thanks.
One thing I learned working in Gimp was that you can set tools to go behind. So, on the third method you could set the tool to put down paint behind other paint layers. So you could also do the face, then do the hair and have the hair go behind the other colour without effecting it making the paint seamless.
Really? That's interesting. I have to admit I never really explored gimp but that's because I couldn't get used to the layout and overall feel..
Katarzyna Oleska Well, Gimp was the first graphics program I ever used, so I'm a bit more used to it than many I suppose. However, its also available in Krita under brush modes. I had to do some hunting with 2.9, but, if you scroll through the different modes, you'll find it. (sorry, I forget where I found it originally) I think it was "Miscl" but, I'm not totally sure.
However, I've found this to be very useful as I cant quickly butt colours together with no artefacts left over.
Great tutorialit is very helpful Thank you.
You're welcome, Wil!
Great Tutorial!!
thank you ! you helped me a lot :D
you're welcome :)
Cool thanks. It is still necessary in 2021!
This is a great tutorial
Thx for this tuto, helped me well ;) G'Mic seems not to work fine on Windows7+ though :(
I know I'm late to the party but this was super helpful! Thanks for taking the time to post this. :)
You're welcome :)
5::00 how do you add colours and make a colour line like Procreate and ibisPaint?
how do i colour in behind the lines?
thank you for advice!
Hi kate, this tutorial is superb....I wanted to ask you what brush you used for painting the skin in the first mwthod you explained??? Thanks....really nice drawings there....
I think she used two brushes. The first was probably airbrush, although watercolor looks similar. The second one she said has some texture, so I don't know which one she used...
@@somnyad thanks for the tip....I really dont know much about brushes setttings
Awesome tutorial you posted..like it a lot, its a big help for noobs
Glad I could help! :)
Za samo przedstawienie sie masz suba :) Poradnik swietny, dzieki :)
Informative video, thanks.
Thanks, Mufeed!
thank you so much for the tutorial
:)
You're welcome :)
I don't see the shape_fill brush option in my krita. Was it taken off in the latest version or do I have to download the brush from somewhere?
so good! thanks
+jm_draws Happy you like it!
Just for mask explanation, a big like to this vid !!
I'm a beginner and i didn't know how to use mask, and when i activated one by misstake, i had one solution, start again my draw cause i wasn't able to remove the mask and i couldn't draw out of it xD
Btw that was small and ez draw, so no big loses :P
GIMP has a "color to alpha/transparency" transformation, possibly Krita does as well. Depending on the workflow and hardware key-bindings, it could be easier or acceptable to draw picking a flat background color and erasing or even making gradients with it, and then copying the whole visible lineart and transforming the background color into transparency. But the proper, disciplined way of doing things works as well, if not better, of course.
Great tips !
Your drawings are very beautiful, is it possible to make your brush packs available?
I also use krita and I really liked them.
Very interesting, liked & subscribed, thanks
Thank you for this video it was really help full 10 out of 10
Glad I could help!
how do you do that thing where you make a layer and it's a subset/inside another layer?
and how do you do that thing where, when you paint, it wont physically cross over any lines you have? Like you do to color the face at 5min and your lines don't bleed into the hair at all
What version of Krita do you have? The last option you showed us seemed very similar to Colorize Mask 4.1.7.
I got overwhelmed so I ended up coloring by a large area and erasing so it fits.
It may be helpful to read the Krita docs about "Colorize Mask". It seems to be a more recent feature that's quite convenient.
There is also a docs guide on stuff like "Flat Coloring" which has been pretty handy for me
Nice! Thanks!
Hi I wanna know where you got your brushes. It looks so cool
Can you set the background to transparency when you're filling in?
Hiii, what do you think about coloring with gray scale? Ive been using it and its kinda helpful in a way, i would love to hear you thoughts on grayscale. Very nice video, super helpful
Great tips! Could you please name the paintbrush you used in the third way you explained? I can't find it anywhere. Thanks!
Very nice. thanks
Lovely sketches...............😊
Thank You!
How do you sketch line it and then add a layer to final line it
For the final option, there is no "G'Mic" option on mine like you have.
Hi! Are Shape fill and G'MIC part of the default package? Or should I download them from somewhere?
Thanks in advance!
