For all you people struggling with pen pressure! Check from your tablets setting if the pen itself is working. I thought for a long time that the problem was on krita, until I checked and the problem was on my pen xD

Kai yer great.. but for the love of fudge.. please pronounce KRITA (KREE-ta) and not (CRY-ta).. k thanks. :)

[@HrafnNordhri]

Also, what graphics tablet do you use?

[@toob01]

I agree xD

[@TutsByKai]

Lolz! Thank you, and I said before that I don't know how it's pronounced ;D "I usually say Cry-ta, Crit-ah however you say it" but didn't today XD I've seen many people say many different things... so I decided it's time to look it up. Is it really Kree-ta? Strange! I would've guessed Crit-ah. I've seen many people say many different things... so I decided it's time to look it up. Heard the devs mention Kree-tah, Critter, Kweeta and Kridda! Apparently they even say different things around the office :D Tomato tomato I suppose! Oh! And apparently Krita means 'chalk' in Swedish! Pretty neat :D

Aw thank you! Glad to be of assistance

[@manuelcabrera126]

This by far is the BEST GUIDE to KRITA for greenhorns like me. All the other TUTORIALS are good but learners just cannot follow the TIPS and TRICKS just because we do not know the behaviour of the brushes and how the tutors got them to behave like so. This, in essence reduces the steep learning curve in KRITA 4.3 by 75 to 80% ... thanks to you.

Hmmm. So you want the brush to be sharp, but not end abruptly? Try taking the line, and dragging the center of the line down and to the right. Add some points and move them around until you get a tapering that you like. Playing with the bottom parts of the line will give you a more smooth end :)

How to make a brush that gets weaker (more transparent) with each stroke, and needs refilling?

[@TutsByKai]

Turn on opacity!

​@@TutsByKai Yes, and then what?

[@TutsByKai]

That's it :D Turn on Opacity in the brushes settings.

@@TutsByKai That's not it. What I was asking for is the opacity to decrease gradually with the stroke and stay that way for the next stroke. For example, the opacity starts at 100% and when I finish the stroke (depending on how long the stroke was), it is now at 88%, so the next stroke starts at 88% and ends (again, depending on how long it was) at 79%, etc... It gets weaker and weaker, until I "refill" the brush (dip it into ink), that is, set the opacity to 100% manually.
