Learn to shade a comic in Krita the way I shaded Episode 34 of my webcomic Pepper&Carrot ( https://www.peppercarrot.com/en/article467/episode-34-the-knighting-of-shichimi ). The video is detailed and goes step-by-step to explain in details what I'm selecting; and more importantly maybe, why. It might sounds like this setup is long to do, but if I'm not explaining it; adding the hardlight, the mid-grey and the selection by color label can be done within a minute. It then allows to shade quickly the panels. This video follows a series of two videos: a timelapse about inking a page of this episode, and a detailed video about the flatting of the page with the colorize-mask feature of Krita.
