Krita

Introduction

Krita is a professional FREE and open source painting program. It is made by artists that want to see affordable art tools for everyone. It is available an every plateform. It could be a use in complement with Gimp.

Installation

The installation of Krita can be done directly on the website. It’s very easy and everything is well explain.

Very first Use of krita

Introduction

I didn’t use Krita a lot but I made a video of my very first use of the software ( the first opening ). I first use Krita to clean a drawing I’ve made few times ago. The idea is the same as for my gimp project. So the image I used was this one :

And I will try to clean it so I can put it on Inkscape and vectorized it.

Video

The speed is x8, so you can, directly on youtube, increase the speed if you want, or slow down ( x0.25 ). And of course, you can watch it at the normal speed and enjoy the music “Canals” by Joakim Karud 😄

First impression

It’s a very powerful software and very easy to use when you are used to other raster software like Gimp. I will try Krita an other time this week, but I think it could replace gimp for my use.
