Hi if youve seen these two posts on your timeline please stop for a second.
Ive been living in a bad situation for a while, i cant do my laundry, i cant do my cooking, and i cant use the livingroom. Im confined to my room unless i plan to go outside and there is a set of rules i have to follow where if i leave any small mess i will be yelled at.
Following a disagreement where they demanded to speak to me at 11 pm and i refused due to having college tomorrow and knowing i would probably be verbally berated to the point of breakdown, they broke into my room and things escalated. They are kicking me out and i have to pack tonight and leave tomorrow. I cant do anything abt the living arrangement due to it being an unofficial contract. (They were a family friend that offered to house me.)
If youve seen these posts please consider supporting me on kofi or on patreon. I dont know where else to go.
Chat is this anything?

Happy Valentine’s Day people, I hope you’re having a great time with your partner (if you have one). My requests are also open, if you want a doodle for Valentine’s Day then hit me up.
Plus plus thank you very much for 100 followers, I appreciate it a lot. I have absolutely zero idea for what movie they’re watching… I vote Chappie because I like it.
HI! So i'm a krita user, and i figure since i know fellow artists that are moving to krita, i might as well make a handy guide to some of the tricks i use to snazzy up my art and basic howtos. This will be splitup into three sections: Tools, Layers, Filters. I'll also be interspersing how i used them in my art as examples!! Thisll be a two parter so hold on tight.
Shortcut keys: P = colourpick E = eraser B = brush
Obviously try using all of the brushes and seeing which ones you like. Krita has a myriad of handy and good brushes, and you can even make your own if you feel like it. I personally like to modify the rectangle eraser to a normal brush and using it, before i modified it a little more to be my own brush.
You can change the settings of the brush youre using on any layer by clicking this little dropdown menu in the top left of your screen. That little three dot button by the left side also goes into more detail about the brushes in case you want to fine tune a brush to your liking.
Personally, these are the custom brush edits ive used to make my art just that bit crunchier. As you can see, theres a lot more options you can tick and mess around with if you feel like it too.
The pin button is the reference tool. If you copy paste an image into krita while the pin tool is selected, it will appear as its own image above all layers that can be moved around using the pin tool to use as a reference. Real handy so you dont waste layers on ref images.
Ok, you probably know the basics of how to change layers, (its this little dropdown menu here) but did you know that krita has a cool thing called LAYER PROPERTIES??
If you right click a layer and click this little button here..it should bring you to this handy menu with styles! These are really useful
Now, i used to usually use outer glow set to these parameters to give the illusion of lines (and this is how anime artists usually line their very delicate pieces of hair and stuff), but i found an even better way!!
Its called stroke, and you can just modify it to be as thin or thick as you like. I recently used it for these two pieces, because its more precise, and used across multiple layers makes your work look cool and like you gave a damn about lineart. This is especially helpful if youre a stubborn son of a bitch that isnt going to to take the time to line your lineless work, or if you want to line really small items like string on shoelaces and not have it look messy (just set the colour to white and draw as usual.)
I’m on my Dirkisms and shit
