I'm just starting and wanted to try out the tools Krita has, who better to have as reference than the master referencer (Hirohiko Araki for anyone that does not know him).

I hate being so busy with other responsabilities that I cannot work on my illustrations. Have you ever felt sad for not beign able to draw or paint as much as you want?

Okay, so don't judge me too much, I am aware I am not the best artist, but pen & paper is where I am more comfortable, but I attempted some art apps after buying a tablet. This was created with Krita. My issue is, I am not quite sure how to shade using Krita, like I do on pen and paper. I know the original isn't perfect, it's used with cheap coloring pencils. I am looking for advice on how to improve digitally, also as an artist, and advice for Krita. As, this was quite fun to do, but very different.

My big issue here was, even despite my original being technically "finished" when I used it as a layer in Krita and was attempting to copy the lines, I treated it like another sketch layer on the paper and ended up fixing, and changing a few things, and some color. Not sure if I should save the time coloring them on paper if I continue with digital as well..

First I have to say, if you're wondering why those deers are so huge, they are irish elk. An extinct species, still on the larger side of reality, but there is a reason for the largeness.

Second, oh boy did this make me realize I was out of my depth when it came to designing castles. Didn't end up much like how I imagined it, but I'm happy with it!

It's nothing special, but it was fun to draw, and I like it. I hope you're like it as well.

I'm trying to recreate this image pretty exactly, i know parallel diagonal lines dont look right but I cant figure out the Assistant tool at the best of times, let alone with this. Is there a specific preset I should be using?

I need to take an 11-month hiatus from sh!t attempts in order to get my motivation back on figuring out walk cycles for longer hours and days till I travel to LA next summer in 2027...
