Real happy to be starting with Krita as I have so many great ideas for comics.

So far I am struggling as I do not know how to find the tracing options.. can anyone help me?

Thank you and I can't wait to show you my works

Hi frankrollins

For tracing your line art you can import it in you document ( or copy paste) then add a paint layer above it by pressing Insert key , then select the line-art scan layer and reduce its opacity OR right click on it and check off Blue and green channels this will make it blueish and then select the newly added layer and draw on it by ink brushes.

I hope this is what you meant by tracing.

P.S. If you have fairly clean inked line art you can remove the white by going to filter>colors>colors to alpha this will remove the white and keep the inks only

and for more details check this tutorial http://www.davidrevoy.com/article239/cl ... h-in-krita and this http://www.davidrevoy.com/article261/li ... with-krita

Thank you for your response.

Yes, The video by David Revoy on tracing is exactly what I was talking about.
I still seem to be having trouble still, not sure why. I have Krita 2.11.9.0 - not sure if that makes a difference.

Are there more simple steps to start tracing?

Thank you
