How to color animation line art

After reading this article, I was thinking of converting the animation frame to a layer and then applying a colorization mask, but I did a search on Krita-Artist and found a great post ! :eyes::sparkles:
Reference:

I changed it a bit and put it together !


- Using Colorize Mask in Animation Frame
(Possible methods at the moment)

  1. Create some animation frames.(Line drawing)
  2. With the first frame selected, create a Colorize Mask.
  3. Convert a Colorize Mask to a Paint Layer.
  4. Create a Colorize Mask with the next frame selected.
  5. Repeat the above for all frames in order.
  6. Group the Paint Layers of the Colorize Mask you created.
  7. Convert a Group Layer to an Animated Layer.

:one: Create some animation frames. (Line drawing)


:two: With the first frame selected, create a Colorize Mask.

3


:three: Convert a Colorize Mask to a Paint Layer.
----- [ Layer ] -> [ Convert ] -> [ to Paint Layer ]

8


:four: Create a Colorize Mask with the next frame selected.


:five: Repeat the above for all frames in order.


:recycle: When you want to copy and reuse a Colorize Mask that has been created once.

  • With the next frame selected, paste the copied Colorize Mask.

  • After copying, it remains in the same state as it was at the first frame, and the refresh button cannot be pressed.

  • But if you use the eraser tool to click on the canvas a little bit or add a little bit to the empty space, you will be able to click the refresh button. :arrows_counterclockwise:

:six: Group the Paint Layers of the Colorize Mask you created.




:seven: Convert a Group Layer to an Animated Layer.
----- [ Layer ] -> [ Conbert ] -> [ Conbert group to Animated Layer ]

(The bottom layer is frame 0, and the layer above it is frame 1, and so on.)
