Hey y’all, I’ve been using Krita for a pixel art project but am struggling a little with the pixel art brush. I’m makng a lot of use of the bezier curve and line tools, but I need it to be “connected” during diagonals This is more or less what I’m getting… ![image](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/3X/a/4/a4f56e62f2523734c89801b8a946320c9a82fe2e.png) …And this is the desired effect ![image](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/3X/a/c/ac03d8a80976d6f7e5f0684a50c1867c290889b1.png) Is there a brush that does this, and if not, how could I go about making one? Any help would be appreciated :] ---

Oh this is really really cool! Ty. I’m unsure if it has what I need but this is admittedly a niche usecase, so this is probably about the best I can get. Much appreciated! ---

The latest version of Krita (5.3.0) added a feature where there’s a brush smoothing feature called “Pixel”, it will effectively be a pixel perfect brush when used at 1px size. For example with a 1px brush (Pixel Art in Pixel Art tag): ![In Tool Options the Brush Smoothing option Pixel is set. A spiral drawn on screen demonstrates the lack of jaggies.](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/3X/a/5/a55fa721d91be60fed24682512fef9902c0e5b8c.png) ---
