After a year of posting weekly comic strip on my social media, I wanted to film the making of the episode 53 published on the 20 May and build with all the 20 hours of video a tutorial on how to achieve this type of comic strip using Krita, from A to Z!

Chapter:
00:00 intro
00:49 Scenario
08:29 Panels
25:41 Speechbubbles
37:59 Layout
40:43 Sketch
44:37 Drawing / Inking
53:45 Coloring
58:03 outro

This tutorial has longer chapter on the new comic panel tool (in 5.3) and explains a full setup on how to use it, even for more complex comic pages, and also I spend time on the creation of speechbubbles, text (also new features of 5.3) and consideration regarding the layout and composition. The fundamental stone of getting a comic easy to read!

However, the inking and coloring chapter are a bit more lightweight, mainly because I already have many video on my channel about painting, shading, and line-art with Krita and I wanted to keep the video lenght under one hour. I'll certainly make more video about those specific workflow step later!

I hope you'll like the video, the first one I record and video edit on Wayland (and it wasn't a challenge at all; everything worked just as expected).
