Experiment: Krita coloring grayscale with layer color mode
/The point of this experiment is to get the values right in the grayscale mode and then color the page using Krita’s “color” layer mode. Every painting program has a layer color mode, so this isn’t a new discovery for anyone but me.
I’ve tried this process before, but it didn’t do miracles for my painting. I realize that I was impatient and frustrated that a new technique didn’t magically turn my sketch into something majestic.
For this drawing, I’m going to take some time to clean up the grayscale image the best I can before I start coloring it.
It’s December 7th. Somewhere out there I have a sister who has a birthday today. I haven’t talked to her in 18 years … for good reason. All the same, I wish her good fortune, good health, and a rich life.
