Hi! I’ve been thinking about this topic so now I want to share this idea. It would be great if your could use your favorite brush tool on a vector layer. This would help artist who want to transform any part of their art that has by enlarging it without losing it’s quality.
An example of a program that uses this is Clip studio paint. I personally would find this useful because I sometimes draw my line art too small so have to either have to redraw it or keep it small.
Thank you for reading and thank you krita developers for all your hard work!
I think this is already requested
Yes. Ideally we’d find a volunteer who wants to work on this, because the sponsored developers already have todo lists that, when put end to end, would reach from Amsterdam to Tokyo…
@halla I know this thread is a year old, but have things changed since then? Will we possibly see vector brushes for animation in 5.3?
I would love if Krita had vector brushes like CSP.
Also, Adobe Fresco is surprisingly good and includes a vector paint fill tool with reference layers, etc. but it lacks the textures that CSP vector brushes have.
I love Krita and think this would be really great to have. Thanks for hearing me out.
Hi @PwaintBwush
I moved your feature request into one that already existed. We try to have only one thread per feature request although I think we may have two for vector brushes.
There is another thread (a closed one) here: The ability to use any brush on a vector layer
That one may be under construction already. Perhaps @Takiro could comment on this for us.
I don’t know how the progress is on this, I didn’t hear anything about it in years. Honestly I can’t remember why I was so confident about it back then in 2022.
If there is news on this feature request development, where would it be found? I would love to see this feature exist one day in krita, it would be awsome ![]()
If there were news on this, you had found them above your posting, or in the other linked topics found in this topic.
To possibly find out more on this you can subscribe to the available Krita’s Development Mailing List and scrape it for more news on this.
Furthermore, you could search through https://bugs.kde.org/ to see if those who made requests for this feature here in the forum also made their wish official and created a so-called wish bug over at https://bugs.kde.org/ for this feature.
Because as long as it only exists here it is not an official request, the fact that it is often enough requested and even supported by our maintainer @halla makes it absolutely legit (and if not existing: also necessary) to create this wish bug! In the case you want more information about the creation of wish bugs, I’ll add my template on the matter below.
Additionally you can also “subscribe” with https://bugs.kde.org/ to get informed about the things happening on the bug tracker for a better overview. But it makes sense to narrow it down to Krita to not drown in emails … ![]()
The IRC developer chat can also be interesting, therefore you’ll need to join the #krita channel on libera.chat. I think it is also bridged into the Matrix network, but I’m not sure.
To follow Krita’s homepage is also a good idea, see the monthly reports.

Add:
If you want, then you can report it as a wishbug via the KDE-Bugtracking System at https://bugs.kde.org/.
To report a wishbug, you must register at https://bugs.kde.org/ to gain access to the “KDE bug tracking system”, i.e. “KDE’s bug tracker”. Keep in mind that the e-mail address you use there must firstly be existing / valid and secondly that it can be viewed by any visitor to the site. But the likelihood of your address falling into the hands of spammers there seems to be very low, because the address I used to register with them, I’m using exclusively for access to the KDE bug tracking system and have not had a single spam mail in my mailbox in the years I have been registered there.
You can read what a wishbug report should look like under Developing Features in the Krita manual (the input mask looks slightly different today), or the User Guide on KDE.ORG, which I like less. Please use the drop-down menus to select the software, i.e. Krita and try to narrow everything down as much as possible using the drop-down menus available there. OS and version are not needed for a Wish Bug because a new feature is available for each OS and all following versions if it should get implemented.
And after completing the wishbug report, i.e. after you have sent it, please publish the link to the wishbug report here in this topic.
This “older proposal” could also be a good idea on how to create a feature request/wish bug, because it is so good presented, here you see what the creator wants, and such a request has the chance to gain a followership wanting the same, so the absolute opposite to far too many requests that make you think the requester only wants to embarras those supposed to fulfill their wish:
