For the ink, most important points are to choose the right presets, and to be confortable drawing energic strokes , using a lot the canvas pan and rotation shortcuts to adapt the canvas position to your movement. Then for color, a first step to fill the areas with base colors, then a few layers over it using blending modes to apply shadows and highlights, using the &#8220;layer groups + alpha disable&#8221; mask trick, and a final layer using color-smudge brush to paint details\/corrections. I did the demo on the face only, to fit the workshop timing; also I added a few modifications following the audience suggestions \ud83d\ude09 :<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/timotheegiet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/LGC-lgm2012.png\" target=\"blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/timotheegiet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/LGC-lgm2012-212x300.png\" alt=\"Libre Graphics Captain - lgm2012\" title=\"Libre Graphics Captain - lgm2012\" width=\"212\" height=\"300\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-370\" srcset=\"https:\/\/timotheegiet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/LGC-lgm2012-212x300.png 212w, https:\/\/timotheegiet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/LGC-lgm2012-724x1024.png 724w, https:\/\/timotheegiet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/LGC-lgm2012.png 1754w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 212px) 100vw, 212px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Then I finished it at home, here is the final result (you can notice I&#8217;ve re-painted all the light as I made them in the wrong direction at the workshop \ud83d\ude1b \u2026) :<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/timotheegiet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/LGC-Finished.png\" target=\"blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/timotheegiet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/LGC-Finished-724x1024.png\" alt=\"Libre Graphics Captain - Finished\" title=\"Libre Graphics Captain - Finished\" width=\"631\" height=\"892\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-371\" srcset=\"https:\/\/timotheegiet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/LGC-Finished-724x1024.png 724w, https:\/\/timotheegiet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/LGC-Finished-212x300.png 212w, https:\/\/timotheegiet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/LGC-Finished.png 1754w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 631px) 100vw, 631px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Again I want to say that I&#8217;m very happy of how the place was filled with great people and everyone was very interested, asking good questions.<br \/>\nThanks for coming!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More details about the Krita workshop I made at Libre Graphics Meeting last week: The goal of this workshop was to teach my workflow to use Krita for comics-style drawing.
