Krita drawing3/15/2023 ![]() So, most artists first step in Photoshop it’s creating that “working layer” that comes automatically in Krita, saving you the mess if you forget to do it. So, later when you want to change the background or move the sketch or whatever… you realise it’s painted on top of that and you can separate it without it being a mess. Photoshop starts with a coloured (white or whatever you pick) layer and believe me, a lot of times you end up painting on it. Now, if you’re new to this, let me explain why this was such a good detail. There’s one thing that’s quite little but it made me really happy: Krita starts any file with one white locked layer – you can choose the colour tho – plus a layer to work on. So, what I have done a few times was doodling in Krita and then move that to photoshop to refine & colour! OTHER PROS OF KRITA (I must admit, I haven’t made a huge effort to try too much, as I’m already comfortable doing it on Photoshop) I don’t feel very comfortable colouring with it so far. Imagine how easy that makes it if you work with both, it’s a real pleasure!įor example, so far, the times I’ve used it I like Krita more for the doodling-sketching part. psd files – Photoshop’s main file with layers & such – with Krita! And also save. KRITA’s PHOTOSHOP COMPATIBILITYĪnother thing I was really happy about was the compatibility between these two software files! However, when you do, transitioning to Photoshop or other software it’s much easier, as they have a lot of similarities in functionality. (and tried others) But if you’re starting from scratch and are new to digital I believe it’s gonna take you a bit to get used to it. The learning curve for me was really small because I came from using Photoshop. Now, I know looks can be deceiving but I wasn’t disappointed at all when I started using it. Ugly or childish-looking software doesn’t motivate you, doesn’t feel like you can create good art with it. – whenever I open certain softwares all I want to do it’s close them immediately. I very much feel that professional-looking software will make you feel better about using it. Krita’s interfaceĪnd why does the “look” of the software has to do with anything, you might be wondering? I mean, Krita is a professional software but the fact that it’s free sometimes makes people think it’s not. What I mean is: it looks and feels really professional. Krita looks & feels really similar to a software like Photoshop. I must say, the first time I opened the software I was really surprised. (I really don’t earn anything with this, just saying it as a sensible person)įor example, if you get it via Steam or Windows store (both about 9€) you’re already contributing a bit! ABOUT KRITA’S LOOK & FEEL So, if you try Krita for a bit and really like it – and you can afford it – please do consider supporting it, cause we all need more programs like this: affordable & good quality. This last one is actually the reason I have two videos on the topic, that I’m gonna leave here: Which makes it easier to add info any time I find something new about Krita. I ramble even in blog posts – which, I know, it’s a problem.īut, I tend to be better at following a structure in a blog post & keep the rambling to a minimum as I edit the posts. I’ve already done a couple of videos on this topic on YouTube and they have been quite popular, so I thought I’ll write a post about it because of a couple of reasons. It’s a review, but as I go you’ll see I’m comparing the pros & such mostly with Photoshop cause it’s the drawing program I know the most. Today I’m reviewing Krita, the open source – aka free – drawing program! Let’s review Krita! – the free alternative to Photoshop Let’s review Krita! – the free alternative to Photoshop.
