Is it normal to rely on brush smoothing? I'm new to digital and started using weighted smoothing, but I have a nagging feeling that I'm using it as a crutch and need to force myself to get used to basic.

>>715 >>725 I'm not sure if there's a specific feature explicitly for this, but one convenient way to keep tabs on values is by temporarily removing color and making sure you're not too cramped in a narrow band of grays. If you set your Soft Proofing to grayscale, you can easily toggle your viewport between black and white and color using Ctrl-Y (View - Soft Proofing). The soft proofing setup is under Settings - Configure Krita - Color Management - Soft Proofing.

I'm curious, but is it actually possible to get phtotshop for free? i heard of rumors about it and somehow, I think it would be good having it on my device. Only thing I have is Pencil2d.

>>731 How's ToonBoom? I saw this video specifically and it really looks good. I wish I had the money, but I hope there is a way for a free version. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vikM4IWpf78

>>905 Yes you might have heard of it, it's called pirating.

>>906 Toon Boom has amazing software tools but it's extremely user unfriendly when it comes to drawing frame by frame animation in my experience. It's convoluted as fuck which is why I primarily use Krita still. Nevertheless ToonBoom is certainly worth looking into as it is an international standard for professional animators.

>>906 Try OpenToonz.

>>913 OpenToonz is also pretty weird and complicated >t. knower

>>914 You can use Tahoma2D, it's based on OpenToonz, it's portable and more user friendly. Still on beta tho. https://tahoma2d.org/

>>1160 I was prepared to be underwhelmed but that actually looks pretty good.

>>1160 >it crashes in the video >"...it tends to crash when it gets overloaded" *he says while in the process of drawing the 16th frame of a bouncing ball animation* I uh...I think I'll stick to Krita for now! It does look like it has some potential though, this is an early release, after all.

I'll stick to my pirated copy of PS from 7 years ago.

New Krita Release Fuggers! Let's see what 4.4.2 has in store for us https://krita.org/en/item/krita-4-4-2-released/

>>1655 >The gradient map filter was improved and made faster Oh god yes finally

>>1655 Cool but I'm still going to use the super outdated package from debian repository lul.

>>1680 based and, dare I say, redpilled

New Krita Release, Fuggers! https://krita.org/en/item/krita-4-4-3-released/ >This is strictly a bugfix release. Uh...gay?

>>2120 I haven't gotten a bug in years! I never push the software to its limits.

>>2124 I just hope the animation works better. Its timeline is the most user friendly in the industry but it's still a bit sluggish overall

New Krita 5.0 beta, F*ckers! https://krita.org/en/item/second-beta-for-krita-5-0/ Have they added [insert feature] or fixed [insert bug] like you'd always wanted, at long last?

>>4961 > Have they added [insert feature] or fixed [insert bug] like you'd always wanted, at long last? I wait until it's out of beta to compile it. Last time I tested 5.0 branch, it was very unstable(that was a year ago). I hope they fixed some of the weird bugs I got, that lead to crashes. Most often than not RAM issues. The comics docker was alao unusable for me. Maybe it works when 5.0 is released. I'm praying to Jebus.

Gradient Map filter masks are pretty rad. Just found out about them.

>>6687 Neat. I still have no idea how to use masks but those look pretty cool.

Do any of you use the AI plugin to get references?

>>6722 Nah, I like to draw without needing internet access or giving the guberment my weird prompts

>>6727 I mean downloading the AI and running it in your computer, but I get your point.

>>6722 No, and now that Krita is officially integrating an AI assistant tool I'm not going to use it anymore.

>>6732 What are you using then? I'm not gonna go back to gimp. MyPaint?

>>6732 AI haters gonna hate.

>>6736 HOT

>>6734 Wish I knew fam, wish I knew.

>>6739 Alright, time to make my own then, with blackjack and hookers.

>>6745 I would love a Krita fork that just removed any vestige of corporate ai slop that they intend to implement in the future. It is open source after all.
