Remember to save between steps btw, G'MIC filters can be quite slow! But yeah, go experiement and go wild with this, it's super fun! This can also be an awesome way to add interesting backgrounds to character art :)

Hi everyone!
First time properly finishing and sharing a drawing I've made in drawing (and really finishing a proper digital drawing outside of pixel art!)

It's still a little rough around the edges, but I think it's got charm! Maaay be a few mistakes about the place (I had to do some manual cleanup after a pretty big blunder painting in my lineart layer).

To be honest, I don’t know why people don’t use Krita software, because it’s absolutely great. I’ve been using it since 2018, and it’s still fantastic for creating art.

This painting is from my travels while on a hike up to Mill Creek Falls, Utah. I used Krita's RGBA brushes.

Recently, I’ve gotten a chance to be well-acquainted with the technical side of Krita. It’s been very, very nice. The commission stamp blocks it out a bit, but I had a lot of fun with the glow and overlay effects on this character.
Hopefully it’s still obvious how passionate this woman is!

Idk why but it feels so much better to draw on a grey background than a fully white one, I can work on greyscales from the bg itself and even add other shades of grey to make shadows better…

Is this just a me thing? ;-;
(Last ones were colored so don’t mind that but still!)

Give me some tips to improve my composition and making things that gains traffic

Me: ever since I started therapy

Some drawings I did recently!

Hay so I though id try using krita but I noticed I'm its not picking up the pen sensitivity on my table.

note: i use samsung table and screen it with an app called superdisplay, i messed around with the pen pressure setting and nothing came up

it works in apps like drawpile and clip studio

This piece was inspired by an old abandoned farmhouse we used to play in as kids. All the windows were broken out, and the inside was scattered with junk and old toys. I remember the peeling floral wallpaper and weeds growing on the floor near windows. There was a feral calico mama cat that hung around.

Im having fun animating in krita recently, might made more

I would like to inquire if anyone knows the most simple way of saving the visible layers in Krita as uncompressed, 8-bit per channel, RGBA data (or any variation of the sequence).
Having explored around 15 different Krita versions spanning several years, I found 5.0.6 the most stable and performant. So the attached screenshot is the list of formats Krita is offering as the export medium in 5.0.6.

My first choice from the list was the Bitmap '.BMP' format. To my surprise, Krita did not offer me a selection of whether to preserve the transparency at all. And, having inspected the output file, both the bitmap file header and the actual data segment confirmed that Krita merely saved the 3 color channels.

Having confirmed the Kritas' version of Bitmap is unsuitable, I went through all of the offered formats at the surface level.
The most promising were XBM, XPM and PPM, PGM and PBM. None, however, support transparency and some are exclusively monochromatic.

I tried searching for the answers through Kritas' Reddit and documentation, but could not find what I was looking for.
Krita does, however, offer the ability to export files in Photoshops' Workspace format. I know that I can import them into GIMP and use it to save the graphical assets in the exact way I need. The process, however, is quite lengthy and I wanted to make the post to ask if I am missing anything.

Nice stuff with birds chirping.

I first got into drawing when I was 13, wanted to learn to draw anime art style so bad. I was into drawing for a year then I decided to learn programming instead ( cuz I wasn't making as much progress I would have liked).

Two years of web dev and UI/UX later, I decided to prepare for a competitive exam we have to take in my country to get into colleges. Quit web dev as a hobby too.

6 months ago, I felt like drawing again, digitally this time, I downloaded krita and learned for 2 weeks. Then I had to quit it again cuz I felt like I was sacrificing my studies.

And now, I want to take a chance at it again. I really like fantasy anime and manga like Frieren and Drifting Dragons. I want to be able to draw like them. I also want to try concept designing.

I practiced drawing lines, boxes , ellipses and curves today.

I have some questions to ask:

1. When should I stop practicing and studying and draw what I like?

2. Are there any good digit art tutorial for beginners? I have close to zero experience drawing digitally.

3. Are there any makers which are similar to copic markers in Krita? Or I can achieve results like what that guy is doing by practicing coloring with default markers?

Thank you for reading my post.

For some reason, when drawing with the dynamic brush tool it creates curves like this it also bounce/jitter around at the end of a line (all of these are straight lines).

Happened randomly for me; I don't know what the cause is, but I'm sure it isn't brush-specific or an issue with my tablet (this also happened when I use my mouse)

Solved: Apparently I just have to crank the mass down to 0 and the drag up to 1.
