What are some all-in-one tutorials you'd recommend to better learn, how Krita works?

I’m not a total beginner, when it comes to digital art. But there’s a certain learning curve with Krita, after using Medibang Paint Pro and (briefly) some other drawing apps.

On one hand, these programs are similar enough not to get totally lost, and for my workflow they work amazing together. However, there are times where I pause to think, how do I do this or that in Krita, or how to customize certain things.

I think I should just watch (or read, as I often prefer e-books to videos) a tutorial, that explains all about how Krita works. But I’m not sure, which one to choose.

There are few courses that consist of dozens of videos. Or a single-video/e-book ones dedicated to previous versions of Krita.

I want something dedicated to latest versions of Krita, that explains, where all the features are, what are they called, how to customize and personalize everything, and what to keep in mind when importing/saving/using in tandem with other apps/during crash, etc.

Preferably, if it’s a single video or a course of 2-4 videos (1 to 5 hours long in total). I often get lost in ones, that have several dozens of bitty videos on every singular tool, so there’s that. I’d also love to have an e-book version I can refer to.

Please, share your tutorial recommendations with me, guys!

These are not all using the latest version but the basics are common across all versions. More recent ones concentrate on what’s new the latest version.

There are some specific bite-sized ‘Krita Tips’ tutorials here:

Maybe @yetanotherpainter’s book?

Krita Secrets - Tutorials Book Helpful, but more of a reference book than a tutorial, but that’s just my opinion.
