All I had to do was ask for help on social media using the #Krita hashtag. Members of the Krita community also kindly resolved many of my queries. The Krita documents available online answered many of my questions. The handy right-click menu which you can customise to always have your favourite brush set, along with the ability to change almost everything about any brush selected, meant I was quickly able to achieve layers of fine detail in my work. This is where using a stylus comes in handy. I installed all the ones I liked and began painting. There are not as many paint brushes available for Krita as for Photoshop, but those which are available are easily downloaded and installed directly from the main site. Right-click and select your favourite paint brush set, which is easily customised. Being able to switch between these settings with my new shortcuts, meant I was soon able to get on to the fun task of painting. I knew practice would ensure better results, but darn it, I wanted outlines now! The stabilisation tool has incremental settings from “hurricane hands” (not real setting name) down to “leave my damn lines alone”. In short, it made my ink outlines look wiggly. My new screen is as slippery as heck, quite different from drawing on paper. Let’s talk about the stabilisation tools for the brush for just a moment. As someone, who has previously used these tools extensively for digital art, this made things a lot easier for me to switch over. I found Photoshop style, keyboard shortcuts were already pre-programmed into Krita and that you could add your own.

My first attempt at inking with Krita, taking full advantage of those stabilisation tools. A scan of my rough drawing, that I used for my first Krita project. I thought to myself “What the hell, you have that sketch you did of those crazy buildings from your imagination, why not start with those? That’ll put this to the test.” So that is where my love affair with Krita truly began. Upon slaying the dragon, the fun could start. I then realised I had to configure my stylus to work with pressure sensitivity. I did the usual playing around with the standard brushes and found a few features hidden. After a few minutes I already know, I will be back for more. That dear reader is how you know I am fully immersed in a program and smitten. I was so at home that I made my first task setting up the desktop (or workplace as Krita calls it) the way I like it.
The clean user interface and attention to detail assured, that I felt comfortable immediately. I hesitantly opened up a canvas, expecting frustration. I installed the program, vanilla style – no add-ons or packages.

Krita is a digital art program, which despite the fact that you can download it for free, is incredibly powerful, exceptionally user-friendly and highly customisable. There are a few out there, but in my humble opinion, only one program stood out for me. Whilst I knew I could install Photoshop on my tablet, I decided I wanted to first explore other options, freeware shaped ones.
Excited at the prospect of being able to paint with a stylus and my new buddy firmly on my lap, I began my adventure. I have used a gaming mouse to create all of my digital art, up until recently. This meant I would be able to paint on a screen for the first time. Portability was a priority for me and the model I had chosen had an active stylus.
#KRITA ART PROGRAM UPGRADE#
When I needed to upgrade my technology earlier this year, I decided to invest in a 2 in 1 tablet-style Windows PC. If I am honest, I rarely miss the analogue fuss of conventional painting. I have used Photoshop now, along with Illustrator to create digital art since.
For many years, I had noodled around with watercolour painting and sketches, but rarely had time to indulge. I first fell in love with digital art about 5 years ago, after being taught basic Photoshop in university.
