Description
Welcome to my course Get Started Digital Painting with Krita. This course is targeted at beginners and covers everything you need to know to create beautiful digital graphics.
This is not a drawing / painting course. Although the course is supplemented with the occasional drawing / painting tips, the focus of this course is on learning the Krita software.
Krita is a highly acclaimed digital painting software, and it is completely free and open source. If you want to get started in digital illustration without splurging on license fees then this is a great place to start. Once you have gained confidence digital painting you can easily and painlessly switch over to commercial software if you want. (Or you can continue using Krita of course!)
