If you have more than one Assistant on make sure you have the 'Snap Single' box checked otherwise the program is going to be switching between the multiple assistants while you are trying to draw one single stroke. In addition to that you can decide how accurately the brush is going to follow the Assistant's lines by moving the slider to the right of the box from left to right. You can turn this option on and off in the Tool Options docker while having the Freehand Brush Tool selected. The first one will show/hide the assistants and the second will show/hide lines that appear next to your brush, suggesting what the stroke should look like if drawn according to the assistants.Īs stated previously the Assistants can be used only as visual guidelines or you can set your brush to follow the lines accurately. Those guides can be hidden from view by going to the View drop-down menu and checking/unchecking 'Show Painting Assistants' and 'Show Assistants Previews'. Once you establish your assistant in the drawing you can either set your brush to follow the assistant's lines and curves or just use them as visual guides. Each one is set in place differently so you will need to experiment.Įach of the assistants that you put in place can be modified, moved, temporarily turned off or deleted separately. Here you will find: Vanishing Point, Concentric Elipse, Spline, Ruler, Fish Eye Point, Parallel Ruler, Perspective, Infinite Ruler, and Elipse. With the tool selected you can choose which particular assistant you'd like to work with from the Tool Options docker. You will also find out how I create some of my illustrations.Īssistants are tools that help you draw more precise shapes, or work with perspectives in the same way that rulers and French curve tools help create real life geometrical drawings. In this tutorial I will get you familiar with Assistants, New View, Fill and Gradient Tools. Welcome to the last of three tutorials on the Krita basics.
