Digitally Painting a Black and White Portrait in Krita

  In this course I will show you how I find images to use as reference, then to digitally paint a simple portrait in black and white using the free open source software Krita. I will demonstrate some of my techniques to create a digital painting or drawing in a single session.  I will also demonstrate how you create a painting or drawing and give it an organic appearance by your brush selection and by adding a photographic texture overlay.  I highly encourage you to get your hands on a drawing tablet. You can start out with an inexpensive tablet for as little as $40. You will also need patience and a willingness to make mistakes.
