I just wanted to know the pros and cons of Krita, what brushes are good for things, bad for others, etc. Basically just an overall view of the program, lmao. I don't know if this matters, but I use a Wacom Intuous Pro Small and have been using Medibang Paint Pro for around two years now.
So yeah! Post away :P

Hi! I have the older version of that tablet, the one with the buttons on the corners hehe. - I would say the biggest con is the fill tool and magic wand tool sucks. Other than that, it's great! You can also download other brushes and make your own, so I can't really say what is good for what exactly. The air brush and the default tapered one are some I use frequently that come with the program. - Some things to know: There is a stabilizer tool, you can animate in krita, and you can completely customize your layout. I would highly reccomend setting some keybinds for making new layers/frames for animations and also picking out some filters you like in the dropdown tabs. They really help with adding an extra element in your art! You can make the filters layer specific, group specific, or even brush specific. - And learning the lock layer, mask layer, and clipping group buttons will help a lot too! - Sorry if that is a bit much, I'm not a Krita expert but I have been using it for 3-4 years ^^

Thanks for letting me know! I had no idea you could customize the layout, that will help me out a lot. I will be sure to look into all of those things, especially the stabilizer lmao

It took me 3 years to find the stabilizer :'') Here is where you can find some stuff under the default layout. The thing in the verryy top right corner is where you change/ create custom layouts Sorry this looks like a 5 y/o's drawing project lmao! Hope it helps Wanderlust said: Thanks for letting me know!

Edit: Once you add/remove dockers, you can drag almost everything around & you can also change the colors ^^ Edited at August 14, 2021 01:16 AM by Viviren

You're welcome! If you have any more questions feel free to PM me! One other thing, if you go into your settings you can set specific things to dissapear when you press tab so if you need more screen room that is a big help. That's all I can think of off the top of my head, have fun with it!! :D Wanderlust said: No, that is very helpful lmao. I will mess around with everything you mentioned, thank you so much!

I've never used that or any others but krita has never given me a reason to need another art program, so I guess that is saying something good about it haha. I know a lot of artists on YT that have reviewed it love it, you should totally watch some! Wanderlust said: Interesting :O Many more options compared to Medibang lmao
