After a year of posting weekly comic strip on my social media, I wanted to film the making of the [episode 53](https://www.peppercarrot.com/en/miniFantasyTheater/053.html) published on the 20 May 2026 and build with all the 20 hours of video, a one hour tutorial on how to achieve this type of comic strip using Krita, from A to Z!

It is segmented by 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).
