Introduction
This is the final result we will create today. Two cartoon friends, a hound and a white cat, sitting on a wall under a tree. Everything is made in Krita, free. Let's get started. Hello! In this tutorial, we will draw cartoon dogs and cats in Krita, step by step, using only a mouse.
Step 1: Create a new document 3000 x 3000 pixels (Ctrl--N)
First, press Ctrl N to create a new document. Its size is 3000 x 3000 pixels. Click Create, then press the menu button so the canvas is fully visible.
Step 2: Rename the layer to "Background" ,
Double-click the layer name, then change it to Background. Naming layers will be very helpful later on.
Step 3: Sky color # Fill Tool, click on the canvas ,
Click the foreground color box, then type the sky blue color code. Select the Fill Tool, then click on the canvas. The sky is now filled.
Step 4: Basic-1 brush, size 16 px, dark stroke color ,
Now prepare the brush. Find the preset Basic 1, set its size to 16 pixels, and choose dark brown for the stroke color.
Step 5: Rectangle Tool, Fill: Background Colour → tree branch
Select the Rectangle Tool. In the Tool Options, change Fill to Background Color. So the fill color is taken from the background color, and the stroke color from the foreground color. Select brown, then drag the box to create the tree trunk. Add brush strokes as texture for the wooden skin. Still using the Rectangle Tool, change the background color to gray,
Step 6: Rectangle Tool → sitting wall
then drag a wide box below as the sitting wall.
Step 7: New Layer "Dog" 4 body hoodie (Polygon Tool)
Create a new layer with the plus button, name it 'anjing'. Select the Polygon Tool, fill color with purple brown, then click points one by one to form the hoodie body. Press Enter to close the shape. Select the Ellipse Tool, set Fill to Background Color, color to old yellow.
Step 8. Ellipse Tool → two long ears
Drag two long ellipses as hanging ears.
Step 9: Ellipse Tool → dog head
Change the fill color to bright yellow, then drag a large circle for the head. Since it's a later image, the head covers the base of the ears.
Step 10: Polygon Tool → hair bangs
Return to the Polygon Tool. Click zigzag points to create a hair fringe, then press Enter.
Step 11: Nose and nose
With the Ellipse Tool, create a cream-colored snout, then a small brown nose.
Step 12: Eyes: white, green-blue iris, pupil
Now the eyes. Create a white ellipse, then a green-blue iris, and finally a black pupil. Order from largest to smallest.
Select the brush, then draw the mouth and hoodie tie. Add a pocket using the Polygon Tool. Last, Change the foreground color to white, zoom in the brush, and click once on each eye as a sparkle.
Step 14: New Layer "Cat" body green shirt
Create a new canvas named kucing. With the Ellipse Tool, create a green mint-colored body, then the two front legs are white. Select Polygon Tool.
Step 15: Polygon Tool → cat ears
Create two white triangular ears, Then the inside of the ear is pink. Press Enter after completing each shape.
Step 16: Ellipse Tool → cat head
Go back to the Ellipse Tool, then drag the wide white ellipse for the cat's head.
Step 17: Big eyes, nose, and mouth of the cat
