Crayons for Krita 2021. Not only brushes

They are here! Do you need to illustrate something for a children book or maybe just mimic the style? I gave a lot of hints in the video. You have timecodes in pinned comment and description. Now is your turn

If you paint something with them this is the best place for sharing your master piece or fun sketches.
If you have questions, let me know too, i will try o do my best. Enjoy!

I can’t figure out how to use the paper. How do you open the paper .kra file? It just gives me a bunch of folders and files.

It is a Krita-File, you open it in Krita.
In short, with some better file managers :wink: , this will open up like a *.ZIP-File because *.KRA-Files are ZIP-Files in which all layers and everything belonging to your file/painting it is stored in.

Edit: In addition, it should be said that a file manager should actually start the files in Krita or pass the files to Krita to open, in the file managers I know you have to explicitly enable it that the file is opened as a ZIP.

This is what I get when I select the paper .kra file (only a folder)…

What do I click on now? (I’m on Android btw. .kra files normally open properly).

Is this in Krita? Hmm?

Normally you start Krita, and then you can open this file out of Krita via “File” > “Open” > and then you have to browse your file system to the location of that file (like any other) select it and choose “open” in the file-dialog.

That’s crazy.

Michelist

Yes, its Krita on Android.
This is what I get when I get to open the .kra.zip…

You have to remove the “.zip” from that file, then it should act like a Krita KRA-File. BTW who added the extension “zip” to that file?

Michelist

It came like that.
Thank you! Renaming the file to get rid of the .zip extension worked!

That’s interesting. Did you download it here? (see screenshot)

Or did you get the file from another site? If so, from which one?

Michelist

Edit: As you can see, there is no ZIP at the end of the file yet.

Yes, that’s the place I got it from. It downloads as a zip.

Another question: regarding the crayon_8_wax_rounded brush: when I use my finger, the brush is big but when I use my stylus, the brush suddenly gets very small, is there a way to disable that?

My guess is no. This is just a speculation, but I think the sensor surface on which you draw and paint recognizes the thickness of your finger and then converts it into line width. You could try to draw only with the fingertip or even the fingernail, if it becomes narrower than my assumption should be correct. You’ll probably have to consult the manual of your tablet or cell phone to see if there are any differences in the handling of the recognized input method.

But if you want to search I would look in the brush editor, possibly you will find a hint there. But that’s a subject I don’t know much about.

Michelist

Thanks.
Maybe @RamonM would know. The other brushes don’t seem to do that.

This is another example of a browser being ‘helpful’ and giving you what it thinks you should have.
The browser realises that the .kra file is really a .zip file (in the same way that it sees that a .kpp file is really a .png file) and this is what some of them do.

That explains it. But it’s kinda confusing also. Gotta try and remember to rename the zip files that have to do with krita I guess.

I expect that using your finger isn’t changing the size - it’s probably fixed at 100%.

That brush uses tilt elevation for the size setting - so with a tilt sensitive tablet the size will be small when the stylus is vertical (like using the tip of the crayon), but increase as you tilt the stylus to the side (like using the side of the tip).

You can either turn off the pen setting so it behaves the same as with your finger, or adjust it to behave the way you want.

Thank you, I’ll try that. :slightly_smiling_face: …
@Mythmaker thanks again, that worked nicely!
