How To Paint Hair In Krita

So you have here and you wan na paint hair walk up, wait a second now before we get started. I want. I want to say that we've done this tutorial before we did it in a while ago, but now we're doing it we're doing it again in ink writer and by the way there apparently there's like a billion different ways to say, Kryta and I saw the developers Say they say it like four or five different ways, so we're just gon na rotate between saying different names like cry to quit: Creed uh, you know whatever so we're gon na get started. Today we have a couple of things that I want to do. First, before we get started and with with a new layer here, layer, two I'm gon na go ahead and select the brush. Kryta has some great brushes and there's this one right here. If we scroll the way down, we have some great brushes that are great for painting, hair and and make your life a bit easier. We'Re gon na grab this one right here and see if this one listen, this one's pretty good, let's go ahead and go to a black color yeah. That looks good. That looks great. So this is what we're looking for we're looking for a brush that has a couple of different dots to it and when we stroke it, you can see. You know kind of. Has this. This nice, like hair type, look grab some. Some Brown like that, and the first thing I want to do is I want to draw a big old circle, a big old circle just to kind of represent, maybe like a head, maybe some kind of some kind of animal. I don't know. Well, I don't know what kind of hair we're drawing today, I just know we're drawing some hair and the reason the reason I love Krita. So much is because we have so many different brushes in so many different settings that are just so easy to mess with. I can actually go ahead and just close up this okay see it turn this opacity off so now, they'll pay, so the doesn't really work if I turn the flow off as well. I turn the flow and I'll pay studio. If you can see how we're not really getting that weird opacity anymore, because you know hair doesn't kind of it doesn't just you know opacity away, it just gets smaller until you know you can't see it anymore um. I don't want to be completely. You know fine, but we'll go ahead and do something like that. Maybe give it a little bit of a softer tip, something like that and we think we might turn the flow back on yeah we'll turn the flow back on. But I do not want a piece of the art - Oh Pacey, it's way too much, yeah, looking good so with a brown coat here with this with another brown color like that I'll go ahead and hue shift a little to the red a little bit more red In there yeah, I think it looks pretty good so far. What I want to do now is I'll just go ahead and create like a little bit of a base that we did before you know so I'll just go ahead and go through and just you know, kind of paint, some some hair, just kind of flicking. My wrist out, you know trying to get a realistic shape and I'm kind of trying to stay on to one point here. If you can see I'm kind of coming from this one point right here: you know which is which kind of represents like a scalp. I guess you know we have this nice little area that we're coming from and just going straight on down just going straight on down. You have to worry about not connecting your lines because hair doesn't always start just from the top of your head, so we'll go ahead and you know a little bit of variation in there. Maybe a wiggly line every once in a while. You know: there's never perfect. That'S it that's one of the reasons the painting hair is so much fun and it's so easy is because it's never perfect, so you can do almost anything. You want and it'll still look still look right so, like I said I'm just following an imaginary line that I have here, we can actually go ahead and just draw a line really quickly, and I also want to turn the background color down some more because it's It'S get we're getting some hairs that are getting lost so I'll turn it down a lot, actually we'll go somewhere too right right. There really really dark right. Now continue all the way down and around and like I said, we'll have some going some other different directions and in the key, like I said once before, is just it's: it's the variation within the than the fuzz within the hair within the fur, whatever you're drawing It'S really it's really fun. Actually I, like I like doing hair a lot. It'S it's! It'S really! It'S really cool. I know a lot of people in the past have asked me about painting and doing more painting tutorials, and I definitely I definitely want to get into doing a bit more painting, tutorials and back here in the back. I'M kind of just you know trying to make these two sections come together by you know, putting it kind of rotating and making it go straight down here and then maybe curving the other way getting around the side there. So that looks pretty good and over here I don't think this is, is enough so go ahead and raise that up a little bit like that, I'm kind of thin in the back you're fitting out in the back you're getting old, go ahead and fix that up Back there, and that looks pretty good now this looks this looks pretty good the way it is, but it needs a little bit more depth. So what I'm gon na do is we're gon na go ahead and lower our brush size to like 40 or so I'll. Just go ahead and just put in some you know more strands. You know that kind of go every different direction. Maybe some that go outwards. Let me go down something like this. Maybe a crazier kind of kind of day, that's going on today for whoever's hair. This is just like I said, but just me just I just got you just got ta really get into it. No there's a hair that go that will go there. If you want to hear that will go out crazy like that, then do one who cares but um, but you know I'm not gon na I'm not gon na to go too crazy. Today, we'll drop our brush size down even further. It'S like five or so, and then I'll go ahead and I'll just do individual hairs, and this is like for that really that extra layer of you know coolness here just getting that just getting. If i zoom in here, you can see if we just were just painting those individual hairs just to kind of sell this effect even further. You know so we're just going ahead and thrown those around. Maybe these can be a bit crazier since you know there are singular hairs. Maybe the wind has taken some of them or something or you know the comb didn't catch them. You know it'll go ahead and well since this hair, I'm going to be a little bit more, a little lighter, we'll go ahead and go to a yellowish, color and we'll go ahead and we'll slap this layer on to on to overlay. Actually, I might want to use soft light yeah we'll do soft light and see what that looks like go ahead and just let's drop that opcd down go ahead and just kind of lay these sparingly. That'S I think that might be a bit too yellow. So let's go ahead and go to adjust: let's actually get rid of that and we'll just adjust this color a little bit more white yeah yeah. I think that's better! So now I want to go ahead and just kind of put in a little bit of depth and highlight here. The great thing about life is that nothing is pretty much the same, color everywhere, almost very, very few things or the same color everywhere. So you know, especially with hair. You know personally, my head. I have like six different colors of hair and it's crazy cuz. You never noticed until you look close enough and then it's like whoa look, there's, there's a blonde hair and we'll go ahead and we'll huge shift once again to maybe like a or a redder orangish color like that, like I was just mentioning, will add a new Layer and I want to go ahead and drop this opacity down, obviously cuz that's way too bright and then what just gets like some super highlights here: I'll go ahead and hit p2. I drop a dark section of our hair here and then I'll drop that color even more I'll drop the color even more and then on this new layer that we have here I'll turn my brush size up to somewhere around 50 ish and then I'll go ahead And just darken a couple of these, you know just darken a couple of them. Maybe you know we have some some darker pieces. I do not want to overdo this, so I will turn this down. No patient he'd done so I want to go and just put a shadow right about there. Maybe you know, and maybe one on the opposite side to kind of reinforce, and then one right here, maybe maybe we'll do some stuff here with the roots and we'll kind of kind of brush some shading in in between those that scalp right there. I will grab this base hair color that we have here right here. So all of this, this big hair chunk that we did the begin with. I want to go ahead and right, click that and then we'll go group quick clipping group. So now, when we paint I'm gon na turn the background back on now, when we paint you can see it only paints on that part of the hair which looks pretty cool. So we can do some really awesome effects like you know, maybe there's some sunlight coming from behind. I don't know whatever you want to do, but I want to go ahead and on the the hairs that are really thin here. I want to finish on screen on the hairs that are really thin here up at the top. You know I kind of want to get a little bit of light on them and we'll just go ahead and paint some sunlight trying to follow some of these hairs down on the edges. Primarily, you know something like that and go all the way through and like. I said I mean painting: hair is just it's a lot of fun. I love it. A lot go ahead and try and get all these these edges. Now I don't like this color yellow, so I might go ahead and try and and change this this this hue value. Well, maybe we'll put a couple up here just on these on these a little bit of a brighter parts that I see that are peeking through. Maybe this Suns catching them because they're sticking up a little bit - I don't know but yeah, so we can go ahead in all of these stray hairs, usually with stray hairs, they're so thin that you know the the sunlight starts to go through them pretty easily. So that's what I'm trying to recreate here, but yeah I'll see you guys in the next tutorial. That'S gon na be it for today I'm gon na go ahead and change this color a little bit and of course I would do this all the way around the head, but I don't want to so that is gon na, be it for today's tutorial hope you Guys enjoyed it yeah. Let me know what you want to see: painting digital painting, wise or not, painting wise in the next tutorial I'll. Definitely definitely I always read comments. I was answer comments. You guys know that by now, but yeah I'll see you guys in the next tutorial. But until then
