Overview
Krita is a graphic application comparable to Photoshop. But unlike Photoshop, Krita is free and open-source software. So, you don't need to pay anything to download and use it. Another thing that makes Krita different from Photoshop, is that Krita is more focused on digital painting. That is why in Krita, you can find many features related to digital painting that do not exist in Photoshop. If you need software for drawing or creating illustrations, then Krita will make you feel right at home.
If you want to master Krita quickly and easily, then -in sha Allah- this online course is the best solution for you. Please note that this online course is the continuation of the basic-level course that was released earlier. To ensure you can follow the course without problems, it's recommended that you take the basic-level course first, before taking this one.
So, join the course now! And take your skill further to the next level.

What the students say about this course
Yves Molina
Graphic Designer and Trainer
The training is really great! I highly recommend it to all those who want to progress with krita and especially with the vector tools of this drawing software.

Widhi's courses are always great. Many digital art courses are either very dry and technical, or very abstract and imprecise. He understands both the technical and creative aspects of doing digital art. I've been doing digital art professionally for over ten years and I always learn something new from his courses.
Hector Carrasquilla
Digital artist
Excellent content and very well explained. It's hard to find someone as proficient with Krita... and this course has the right information. Highly recommended.
Paul Akerman

Filled with all good things to learn :)

Great!!! A wonderful course very complete and detailed, happy with what I learned about Krita and its tools that I did not know some of them in depth. Greetings and thanks Master Widhi Muttaqien.

David Mack
Graphic artist
I am an experienced artist with years of experience in traditional mediums in fine art and graphic design. Since retiring I have been focusing on digital media to develop an income stream. I have been playing around with Krita for a few years now but never really had the time to commit to learning the software. This course along with the basic introduction course has given me the confidence to do Print-On-Demand as an income stream. I found the course well thought out with cohesiveness between lessons and just the right amount of challenge to keep my interest without becoming overwhelmed. I would definitely recommend these two courses, in tandem, to anyone trying to move from traditional to digital media using Krita software.
