In krita, layers have 3 options at the right of each of them in the layer list, the first one, which looks like an open lock, locks the layer, not allowing you to make any changes on it until you unlock it the second one, which looks like an Alpha, turns the layer into a kind of "clipping mask" which means that you can only draw over stuff you've already drawn in the layer under it, this can be used to either color without going out of the lines, or to even change the color of only your lineart. The fill tool in krita sucks a lot, I don't recommend using it at all if you want to color make a layer under your lineart layer and color it using a painting brush.ĭon't be afraid to copypaste stuff in your drawings, especially when doing symmetric stuff, you can use a selection tool to select the part of your drawing you want to copy, then cntrl+V>Cntrol+C and the selected part (ON THE LAYER YOU ARE WORKING WITH) will be copied on a new layer, then you can use the "Transform a layer or selection" tool to move it around and change it any way you want, if you right-click on when using this tool it'll give you options like flip horizontally/vertically" too.Extra tip for this: you can merge layers by right-clicking on them and choosing the "merge layer" option, this will merge a layer with the layer below it (Cntrol+E is the shortcut for this)
The keys Cntrl, Shift, Alt, and right-click all interact with the tools you are using, it is in your best interest to learn what they do with each tool you use. 50 and change them to be more or less sensitive as you like. In krita the "dynamic brush tool" (looks like a half oval with a dot inside the curve) is your best friend when drawing lines, when you select it, the tool options bar in krita shows you two sliders "Mass: " and "Drag:" try scribbling around with the dynamic brush selected and playing with those sliders until you find a setting that suits you bonus tip, start with both of those sliders at.

The selection tools work wonders in all kinds of digital art, I suggest you pay attention when you watch other people using them for their drawings and paintings, those tools can ease and speed up your work so much if you learn how to use them properly. In Settings>Configure Krita> Keyboard shortcuts, set one to flip your canvas horizontally, when drawing our eyes get used to the thing we're drawing cause we stare at it too much, flipping the drawing "resets our eyes" allowing us to see errors our brains would otherwise just ignore this is very useful when drawing faces, and especially eyes. Work with layers, the more layers the better, and name them, this will help you avoid so much confusion and frustration in the future. Opacity and Size (top right bars on Krita) are how you change the size and transparency of your brushes.
When opening a new file, make it BIG, like your screen resolution in pixels x2, this way you won't run into the problem of having done a drawing for ants. If you're using a drawing tablet, make sure to set the pressure of your pen right, this is usually done in your tablet's settings program. Things you should do beforehand and that a lot of tutorials just assume you already know and extra tips:
