Overview
Learn digital painting using Krita quickly and easily. In this intermediate-level course, you will learn in depth a lot of Krita’s features such as Vectors, Filters, Masks, Gradients, and many more, to create beautiful illustrations in the most efficient and effective ways.
Please note that this online course is the continuation of the basic-level course that was released earlier. To ensure you can follow the course without problems, it’s recommended that you take the basic-level course first, before taking this one.
Who is this course for?
- Hobbyists who want to learn to create illustrations using open-source software.
- Design and art students who want to master digital painting techniques.
- Artists or professionals who want to increase work effectiveness leveraging advanced techniques.
Requirements
- A computer (Windows/Linux/Mac) powerful enough to run Krita.
- Already have Krita installed.
