Pen pressure enabled on opacity.ġ The pen pressure on flow should make the brush strokes smoother&creamier than 'opacity-only' strokes.Ģ But in Krita it gets soooooooo dirty when pen pressure is enabled on flow.Īnd I think the reason is because, in Photoshop, the flow is limited by opacity, somehow. So in Krita I have to use pen pressure only on opacity to avoid dirtiness, and it sort of works, but it's not as smooth as the one above because it simply adds the same amount of opacities mechanically. Importantly this is a single stroke done without pressing the pen any harder.īut in Photoshop it doesn't happen even when you enable pen pressure on both opacity and flow, furethermore it looks more smooth and nice.ĭone with single stroke in low pressure, without pressing the pen any harder. Pen pressure enabled on both flow&opacity.
Because the strokes get really dirty when I enable pen pressure on flow.Įspecially in low pressure it looks like this. Krita provides pen pressure options for both opacity and flow,īut generally I set the pen pressure only on opacity for my brushes. In my opinion, learning how the Krita brush engines work is the smartest thing to do.This is just my opinion and could be wrong. The only catch is that Krita imports the Photoshop brush files just as brush tips without the other settings, so for most Photoshop brushes you will need to adjust the brush settings to make them work properly. There you have it, a veritable treasure hoard of downloadable brushes for Krita, and even some explanation of how to use Krita's built-in brush engines.įor those who still aren't satiated, Krita also supports Photoshop brushes! I find it's the default brush is best for an ink aesthetic, but by playing with the brush settings you can make some great oil and acrylic brushes!
In the brush settings, you define the area with "bristles" in it, and the size and rotation settings affect the whole brush tip, not the individual "bristles". The bristle brush engine aims to replicate how a real life brush would work. If you want your paintings to feel like traditional inks, or oil or acrylic paintings, try out the Krita's bristle brush engine. This is a little bit about each of them and how they work. Krita currently includes 15 brush engines. Perhaps you'll be able to make brushes even better than the ones you've downloaded! Try out playing with the settings of the brush engines and see what you can make on your own - the possibilities are incredible.
I wanted to showcase a little bit about the brush engines that are included in Krita, what they can do and how they differ from each other.
