Favourite Software so far | Krita

---

My favourite software to thus far is the free painting and drawing software Krita which is a multiple platform system users alike. Krita can hold its own when competing if with apps like another free software for picture touch ups and composing images would be GIMP. Another thing that I would like to address is that Krita is specifically designed for drawing and animation purposes which is more tailored to my needs. It can be used to edit photos but it is not an alternative for adobe Photoshop as Photoshop is used for photo editing, though it can be used for digital drawing, it is not designed for that.

For a person who is not well-versed in digital art software, I found Krita really easy to use despite the way that it looks as I found that there were so many things to click and not knowing where to begin or how to begin rather.

After a couple minutes of watching tutorials, I figured out how to draw a line with a different brush, everything else seem fairly simple, I stumbled upon the huge array of brushes and how unique each brush was along with a handy brush engine, I found some peculiar textured brushes which ended up using to get this cool fading and withering effect which I found extremely helpful when making my poster. I would like to say that Krita would be my current go to digital art software and I would recommend it to people that want to get into digital compositions as Krita is a free software so if you try it out, you won't have to deal with the guilt of buying something you don't like.

In the screenshot to the right that I took on my laptop, this is some of the different types of brushes that Krita offers.

The picture below is also a picture I took on my laptop, showing the brush engine.

I like that Krita runs smoothly on my laptop and didn't have the common problem of crashing or freezing when using the software, thought it that were to ever happen and the app crashes, rest assured because the krita had saves your work automatically which is a useful tool to have when working on a highly detailed composition. I also like the real-time symmetry feature which helped me with the typography aspect of my composition which made things a lot easier and quicker for me.

I would recommend Krita as it is a smooth running software designed for painting, drawing and animating that is free to use and install. It has a more appealing and easy to use interface and I had a good experience while using it. The software has quantity and quality when it comes to brushes and has helpful features like real-time symmetry and saves your works for you automatically so you won't lose a thing.

This an screenshot that I took of the Krita interface, as you can see i also used Krita for the first time to create my Belasko film poster composition below.
