Drawing Comics With Krita

Screentones

If you want to make a black and white comic you may want to use screentones to represent the shading. Luckily krita has a filter with which you can achive it! So here is littel tutorial for it:
New document and set your color profile to grayscale. Draw your line art the add a new layer (and use a gray tone to do your shading first.)
Filter > Artistic >Halftone

In the Screen Generator tab you can adjust how your screentone should look like, its density (lower the number bigger the tones) and the colors it sould use.

To have crisp lines:
in the Postprocessing tab set the hardness to 100!

When done click on Create filter mask! If you click on OK then you can't edit it later.
You can have more screentones with different shades on one layer this way. (Or you can use one layer per tone if you want to be able to change each tone later).
Tip: if you are working on a bigger project it helps to have a refence document with each tone and its grayscale equivalent!

Pixel art

Krita

Amazing open souce drawing software! I like how the dithering brush is on a fixed grid so it won't come to accidental groupings of color.. I use it often for pixel art and for drawing textures for 3D models too. I made the background picture of this site with krita! Link!

Pixelorama

An open source software made enteriely fro pixel art! You can make drawings up til around 200px in size (if bigger it may crash). It is a very easy to use and lightweight program. You easily make small animatios even! The brushes for dithering are easily costumisable tho the dithering grid isn't fixed! (Overlap of differnt ditherings may end up with a solid fill!)
I used this progam for all of the pixel animaions that are on this site! Link!
