The Best Free Drawing App Just Got Better - Krita 5.0 

Ahh, those are good reasons.

@@thebradcolbow Yes. I'm the Krita maintainer, and donations pay for Dmitry's work and Wolthera's manual work at the moment. Stores pay for me, Agata, Wolthera's coding work, Emmet, Eoin, Ivan, Amyspark and Sharaf. It's about 16 euros an hour we can pay ourselves.

Lol, it says that in the description of krita on Microsoft store.

Yeah, you can buy it off steam too.

Yep!

My only issue with it is that it’s alway felt laggy to use, but with this update ima definitely redownload and try again

Most direct open-source counterpart of Adobe Photoshop would be GIMP. Krita is more than Photoshop.

@@dacat2431 yeah gimp is a image editor, as is photoshop, but gimp isn’t as useful for drawing like photoshop is Luckily Krita is very very good for drawing

@@fossforever512 sure it aint your computer?

@@tylerxic3241 it was because I hadn’t messed with it in a few years (back when it was laggier) I recently got it again and have replaced my other drawing application with it

Adobe is getting more expensive, even Clipart studio paint is alot more cheaper than photoshop

@@demon6937 ... This comment has AGED POORLY. CSP recently is getting into subscription models and... I honestly quit despite being an EX-CSP user as it means 1. No more accessable manga tools and 2. No more damn updates or bug fixes after V3. So no new features of V2 if I don't shell out.

@@MaoRatto I know, CSP went to subscription route like Adobe people hate it and regret buying the software few months ago

​@@demon6937 clip studio has the stand alone version as well, unfortunately their app version is subscription

PLUS support for Linux-based desktop OSes (especially those that already ship other KDE apps), which Adobe lacks since it's likely cheaper for them to target what's popular.

Wow great

@@kbhasi I can't agree more. One of my laptops run Ubuntu. And I tried Krita,Gimp, and a few more apps. And krita was the best by far. All these features do come for a price though. If you didn't start using krita at least around a year ago or have experience with this sort of stuff. Then learning krita from scratch might be a bit difficult. RU-vid does have a lot videos on krita, which is great for newcomers. It also amazes me how this app is free for users with its large workflow. Although I got to admit, Adobe Photoshops learning curve is much larger than krita in my opinion.

@@TheRapidDev As far as I know, Photoshop and GIMP are designed to be photo editing apps, not painting apps, so I don't know how other people are able to use them as the latter. I use GIMP, but just for photo editing, not for painting. For actual painting, I sketch in BOOX notes first, then export to a PNG file that I can then import into either Krita or Inkscape depending on the project. For me, while I can use GIMP in almost stock configuration, I have to extensively configure Krita (and create custom templates if I don't already have them) before I can use it.

@@kbhasi Yep, I agree about the last part. The thing is that since krita has so many dockers and is so customizable, we have to make custom workspaces

Wait how do you do the time lapse??

@@jirou7135 Setting> Dockers> Recorder. press the record button to start recording, press the button again to stop recording.

@@cgtang thank you sooooo much pal:)

@@jirou7135 no problem. 👍

May i ask ? How y'all have downloaded krita for ipad. It isn't available

among...

@GZ Gaming I like how you mentioned that you didn't need a certain level of specs. That's one of the great things about his reviews. He looks past the specs and breaks it down so we can decide what we actually need when looking at a product.

@@Caesarpinaceae us...

@@toadboydude5015 us...

this. the two point perspective assistant is the best

Yeah, took a few weeks off at the end of the year, I'm recharged and ready to go!

Idk if you already did, but you can get the default workspace by clicking "window">"workspace" and then select default

😳😳😳😳😏

@@yakub6698 sus

hah, you're right since I don't use it much I don't have it tally customized, I really needed to up my color swatch game in this video, would have saved a ton of time.

haha, when I started drawing I thought about doing an among us guy but I couldn't remember what it looked like exactly so it became a bird 🤣

It’s the newest Pokémon: Cy-ducks. 😏

You should be able to snippy tool the picture and eyedrop it in your drawing program, that's probably the best way to get the exact colours.

@@ashtoncartner I'll give it a try, thanks! Didn't even think about that.

Same here 3:

Basically clipping in Krita is called "Alpha", and it works exactly like Photoshop if you group the layers together!

also krita for android and kamvas 13 do not have tilt or pensupport working

I have had a kamvas 13 for a good 2 years now. It's a very good tablet once you learn how to use it to it's fullest extent, good choice!

oh yeah. I had a glitch where my pressure sensitivity didn't work for a long time, It worked again after I reinstalled it for the 5.0 update. try doing that and see if it fixes your problem aswell, if you already tried that then I am not to sure

infinite painter for android also awesome .. sort of procreate for android rival

Photoshop is better with photo editing of course because it has more tools specifically for that, otherwise if you're only going for a drawing program, go for Krita. Trust me, you'll save a ton of money in the long run :)

😱 SUS

How would you compare Leonardo to Procreate, I'm planning on buying leonardo for my hp envy or an iPad for procreate, your reply could really help

@@eziothehedgehog1709 First off I am a total noob when it comes to drawing so take what I say with a grain of salt. I feel like Leonardo has a simple layout and a really nice feature called "infinity canvas" that just lets you doodle forever and not worry ever about the paper size. I got too use to drawing something like a wavy like or a circle, holding the stylus down, and letting procreate automatically pull me into editing it, which isn't here.

@@sweetfeathery Thanks!

Not at CES this year, Covid cases really bad where I am right now so I'm playing it safe.

@@thebradcolbow Good call, but please make a video for CES for Digital Artists video as the laptops are looking sick

yes, at least on my lenovo Android tab it does so i imagine it also does on an s8+

Yes I can 🤣

facts

Even on Android??

You can do it, Jeff!

haha, NICE WORK JEFF!

mac os, linux, windows and android.

Yes. When you go to render it will have an option to use ffmpeg

I once did it but can't remember how I did it. There is a tutorial for that online I can't remember which one I followed a year ago. The idea is to to download & install the ffmpeg drivers and install them then show Krita where the ffmpeg folder is as you export then you will be able to export them as a movie clip. In the meantime such ffmpeg on krita you'll get help. All the best

Hey there, I'm one of the developers who works on Krita's animation tools. There's a little bit of annoying setup, but Krita will automatically use ffmpeg to render animations to video. You will need to have ffmpeg installed on your computer somewhere, then click "File > Render Animation" in Krita, go to the "video" or "both" tab, and then there is a field labelled "FFMpeg" that you need to use to tell Krita where FFmpeg is installed on your computer. After you set this up once, Krita should remember where your FFmpeg is and you shouldn't have to do it again. (Also, we know that setting up FFmpeg is an extra step right now, so something we'd like to do in the future is bundle FFmpeg with Krita so that this can all happen under the hood.)

@@MisterKatSwordfish Thanks Emmet for the clear explanation. Thanks for the great you do for all of us!

@@MisterKatSwordfish Ty for the info, hope that I wont need to do that extra step soon

i think your Wacom or pen tablet is acting up because of a faulty USB. i got that problem a lot, until i realize it was caused by a low-quality USB hub

Bro don't call me out like that 😭

Many thanks
