In this video we look at how to trace over images using my favourite tool in Krita, The Bezier Curve Tool! Remember to use Vector layers with the Bezier curve tool.
Just as a reference or a small correction. It is not necessarily true that tracing an image makes it your own art (especially for commercial use). Tracing isnt always plaigarism but it can stoop to that if it is a blatant replica. Say i want to trace an image of a specific monkey. If I do it perfectly and make a real replica, then i am plaigarizing the work. However, say I then draw the monkey in space, which was not in the original image. This is not plaigarism, as you have given context to the monkey. That is not the only rule as well. There are so many to look out for. Just be careful when using tracing
@@MrMohammadCS No problem! Thanks for teaching me how to use Krita! I used to work in Adobe illustrator and then I lost my subscription so you saved me having to pay for the subscription to use it again
It's still plagiarism if you don't contribute enough alteration or alter the 'monkey' in a significantly creative way, no matter what background you put it on. The only grey area for this is if you KNOW where the image comes from and you have a specific license or its a CC0/specially-licensed image for free public use (personally & if needed, commercially), but even then, there are always details you need to read inside that license and further still, without the above requisite 'creative contribution', it can still be considered a case of IP theft. Also, it's SUPER important to know that there is a BIG difference between 'copyright free' and 'royalty free', just like there's a huge difference between 'free for personal use' and 'free for commercial use'. Copyright is an important subject in the art world and its the responsibility of everyone who participates to have a fundamental understanding of it if you're going to display, let alone monetize your work. The art community is an awesome and generous one, but it's one where we are disrespected and taken advantage of constantly and blatantly and it has a HUGE effect on people's careers and work. As an alternate example, however, a truly responsible and useful application of this tutorial/tool would be to digitize your hand-drawn work. A lot of us enjoy the sketching process with traditional pencil and paper methods, but once scanned in, this can be a really nice way to create clean and neat line work on a new layer.
This is EXACTLY what I needed! I'm used to using The GIMP's pen tool and adding a point in between two points to perfect the curve. This is essentially the same thing. I couldn't get the hang of click dragging with the bezier curve but this is a game changer. Thank you!
Somehow, i can't select it after tracing the ligne... theres a message telling me that i probably want to use the moving tool...wich i don't... yup i need to ask question about selecting something that can't be selected the way you show it...why is it so regular to me?
There's something wrong with what I'm trying to replicate your tutorial. When I make a new paint layer to use the Bezier tool, I can't select on the line itself and can't edit it. Is something wrong with this?
@@fo1711 I use the handles of the curve while I'm placing them in to create the shape. So when I'm finish with the line it already has the curve properties I want. This guy draws all the line straight first then edits. I draw and edit at the same time. His method is really useful if you aren't using a scroll mouse.
Does anyone every had a buggy experience with the Bezier Curve Tool, Type Tool or the Freehand Path Tool? This bug forces me to change my brush style using the button on the top EVERY TIME I wanted to use those tools once Is Krita optimized for the Surface Pro Go?

Bro I have been searching for this for hours, thanks bud.

i realize Im kinda randomly asking but does anyone know of a good place to watch new series online?
@Solomon Aries I watch on Flixzone. Just google for it =)
@Preston David yea, have been using flixzone for years myself :)
@Preston David thanks, I signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :) I really appreciate it!!
@Solomon Aries No problem :)
Thank you!! this was exactly what i needed, and i never before grasped that i would need multiple tools to do it. Most helpful
Thank you so much for this video ! It really helped me out and made using this tool really simple and easy !
Thats what i wanted,thanks
Somehow, i can't select it after tracing the ligne... theres a message telling me that i probably want to use the moving tool...wich i don't... yup i need to ask question about selecting something that can't be selected the way you show it...why is it so regular to me?
Very well explained. Thank you. Please upload more tutorials.
Thank you so much.
There's something wrong with what I'm trying to replicate your tutorial. When I make a new paint layer to use the Bezier tool, I can't select on the line itself and can't edit it. Is something wrong with this?
You need to create a vector layer and do the bezier stuff on it, it won't work on regular layers.
Thanks bro 👍
Exactly what is needed!! Thanks
Thank you very much! I really needed this😀
Thanks a lot, I actually thought you couldn't edit the bezier lines after drawing them.
So far i can't
excellent explanation.Thank you
How do I find all the tools that you're using in the Tool palette and then once I've drawn the line, how do I save the line?
This is a different method to what I use. I appreciate having more options to work with
Whats your way to go?

That was very helpful. Thanks.
Thanks you very match, you explain it perfectly; I don't understood how use that tool.
In the end do we have to merge the vector layer with the below layer??
You saved me, thank you
Thanks, this was helpful.
guys he is my teacher!
I don't know how to erase parts of the lines tho :/ heeeeeelp
thank you !!
Genius
when i outline somthing i click the red none but it erases the outline on the object how do select the object and then move it around thx
when i make outline from bezier curve tool it was ok but when i click on mouse button on top then click on img it doest select img what i do help me
You have to create a vector layer and use the Bézier curve there
ok.
Please, stop making tutorials in the bathroom
