Orbit: Game Art – Krita for Beginners

This month’s Game Art meetup will feature a step-by-step introduction to Krita. Krita is a free, easy-to-use, and powerful art and animation tool that is popular among many game developers and digital artists. This is an interactive lesson that will emphasize skill acquisition over art production. No previous experience with Krita is needed to participate, but we do ask that you please visit krita.org and install the tool prior to the meeting.

Our guest instructor for this lesson is Yoshi Alers, MA, MS. Yoshi is a retired serial entrepreneur with a mental health background who maintains an online presence for his art gallery OilsTuDios on Facebook and RedBubble. He looks forward to sharing fundamental art creation skills, including core concepts such as digital painting on layers and the process for creating, saving, and exporting files in multiple formats.
