Auto-Flatting Comic with Krita (+Gmic plugin)
Published on
Video tutorial,if you can't see it, here is the link on Youtube
Here is a video tutorial to show you how to use a complex GMIC filter named : Colorize lineart [smart-coloring]. I'm using this filter to ease and speedup my workflow with flatting the color of my webcomic Pepper&Carrot. This filter is available on recent version of Krita, specifically the one with the GMIC-Qt plugin.

Nice feature! I'll try it when I've time. Good tutorial, though.
Hm... I just added a transcription to this video on youtube... only to realize you already had transcribed everything here >_>
I smart, yes.
aw ... : /
( note: I added them, now they are the default "english" CC subtitles. Thank you ! )
Watching this makes me wish I could draw like you. Actually... it almost makes me believe that I can, you make it so easy to understand advanced topics. And your voice, it's so relaxing listening to you! Thank you David for making these videos, comics, blogs, and your engagement with people. It's truly inspiring! <3
Thank *you* for taking the time to write your lovely feedback. It fills me with energy to continue!
You are a life saver...works very well. Thank you so much, seriously.
Fantastic introduction to gmic's complex algorithm. I knew first method but I was not aware of second trick with cleanup, which would be much more useful for me. BTW, do you know if there is a method to move selections after they were released? I know I can hold ALT to move them when drawn, but I wonder if there is a trick to move them around after they are in place. Maybe it can be requested from krota developers, it's something that is my usual workflow with photoshop.
Thanks!
For moving a selection in Krita, the workaround is to create an empty paint layer , and then Ctrl+T to transform the empty area. It's possible this way to move/scale/rotate/transform any type of selection. When done, you can remove the temporary created layer.
Thanks, I figured I can transform selection with ctrl-T, new paint layer was missing part. I hope krita devs will add selection only transformation and move feature soon. One of bigger things I look for from photoshop way of ding things.
Thanks David, as always your tutorials arre very didactic and easy to follow. Just a question, did you already make a tutorial regarding the last part of your draw in wich you added shading and final details? Thank you again!
Hi! Thanks!
Yes, you can find this steps in the making-of ; or the fundamental details about shading in the long "chaos&evolution" video.
Im still struggling with Gmic, i guess i need to keep working on it, but you make it look so easy! haha! brilliant video!
Bonjour et merci pour ce tuto (top !)
Sinon je n'ai pas cette fonctionnalité d'accessible dans Krita ; il me manque un patche ou téléchargement ?
Merci pour la réponse et le boulot de transmission du savoir ; c'est vraiment génial !
Bonsoir, merci!
Quelle est votre version de Krita, sur quel système?
(quelle diligence ! :-)..).
J'ai Krita 3.0 sous windows 10
:-)
Je crois que le filtre est apparu avec des versions de GMIC après 3.2 .
Le 12 janvier, Krita 3.3.3 est sortie. https://krita.org/en/download/krita-desktop/
Ok je vais regarder ! merci ;-)
Thanks you very much for the content.
I really appreciate the video, very clear and simple instructions. Thanks!
I just downloaded Krita an gmic after seeing how awesome they were in your tutorial.
Thing is I am having trouble finding the ''tool option docker'' at 4:19
it doesn't show on my tool bar :(
Hi Migeru Sensei: Yes, that's my fault. By default the Tool-Option is a docker; mine is in the top toolbar thanks to an option I really like in the Settings: (General > Tools (tab) > Tool Option Location > In toolbar).
PS: I'm uploading later today a new video about automatic colorisation with a simplier method. I hope you'll like it!
Merci beaucoup c'est clair et simple pour moi qui ai toujours travaillé en traditionnel et qui découvre depuis peu le logiciel et la tablette graphique !
