In this video, I offer my first impressions of using Krita as a digital drawing tool, from the perspective of a long-time (20 years+) Photoshop user.

Mate I’ve found you more valuable than most tutorials I’ve seen. Keep going please.

That means a lot! Thank you!

I left Photoshop for Krita completely last year (and for some time before that I was using Photoshop for work and Krita for personal projects). I love Krita! It's so good ) I'm also using Photoshop-compatible shortcuts. It took me some time to get used to how layers and text tool work. But It's not hard to learn these differences. Also, Krita brush engine is 100 times better than photoshop ) I make my own brushes and even whole brush packs and it's so fun to experiment!

Awesome! I’m exploring Krita more and more. It seems really powerful.

Check or RGBA brushes, and the memileo brushes for some nice impasto brushes. Inktober brushes for sketching. Rakurri brush set for all kinds of effects.

[@KrishnaDraws]

Awesome! I definitely will. Thank you!

Krita is great

Krita isn't a photo tool, but for me in digital art painting is way better than photoshop because of its pencil engine.

[@KrishnaDraws]

@@jcbritobr very true!

[@wherknprogress]

hey krishna, how do i use your brushes in krita?

[@EricLefebvrePhotography]

Krita really is more for drawing and not really an alternative to photoshop. As a drawing program it is awesome but doing photobashing or things of that nature? Nope.

[@KrishnaDraws]

Good point. Thanks Eric.

KRITA is simply better than Photoshop for digital illustration. I get it... is hard for finding out you have been paying for something that you could have got for free, and is hard to let go. If you are teaching digital art to conventional artists and they have no experience with any software, they would all find Krita better because of the brush engine which is better than PS. I being using PS since Photoshop 3.0... and I can tell you with confidence that all it took was one day of Krita and I was like WOW!!!

[@KrishnaDraws]

No argument there. Where I feel Krita needs improvement is in its selection tools.
