How to draw on this website?
You cannot draw on this website, this is just a forum dedicated to Krita a digital painting application and not an app. You can download Krita and install it on your computer and then draw on it. You can only post artwork made in krita here.
Which tablets does Krita support?
Krita doesn’t have any special code to support any tablet. It depends on the operating system to provide a way to interact with the tablet. So if the tablet is supported on your system there is a high chance that it is supported in Krita too. Nevertheless our community is building a curated list of tablets which are known to work with Krita. Check the list here.
I am new to Krita, how to get started?
If you are new to Krita then the best thing to do is check the introduction course. If you are switching to Krita from some other software then it is better to check this manual page to know more the nuances of krita here . We also have a YouTube channel where we share all kinds of tips and tricks and information about krita. It is better to subscribe to it here.
How to use clipping mask feature in krita?
In Krita a feature similar to clipping mask is present and it is called “inherrit Alpha”. You can toggle it by clicking on the “α” alpha symbol shown besides the layer name in the layer docker. However one thing to note is that this feature behaves differently in Krita, unlike other applications it clips to all layers below and that includes the background layer, hence you will need to put both the base layer and the layer that is going to be clipped inside a group. You can read more about it here.
