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 [![](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/3X/3/f/3fe632002c4bccd32328340488b806e548b29ad7.jpeg "Crayons for Krita 2021. Not only brushes") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3sRrAXm8CI) 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! ---

iā€™ve played a little with them, it was fun. I really liked the ā€œCrayon 01 Detailsā€ for rough sketching šŸ˜‰ ![image](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/3X/6/e/6e8fece1b8275cb5421a998b74d3e4dbdcf2e82a.jpeg) ---

You man, has discovered the trick (the brush is not only for the simple tasks.), posibly the best brush i have done for simple sketching and shading if you like ā€œgrainyā€ surfacesā€¦ i will explain more things of these brushes asap ---

I canā€™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 šŸ˜‰ , 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. Michelist 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)ā€¦ ![Screenshot_20210713-150731_Files](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/3X/5/e/5e10fcce82b97fc29cc3ff2db1aa0e0bc6382fb9.jpeg) What do I click on now? (Iā€™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 ā€œFileā€ \> ā€œOpenā€ \> and then you have to browse your file system to the location of that file (like any other) select it and choose ā€œopenā€ in the file-dialog. Thatā€™s crazy. Michelist ---

Yes, its Krita on Android. This is what I get when I get to open the .kra.zipā€¦ ![Screenshot_20210713-151230](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/3X/1/2/12b0bf22199ca259ec6ac0d434b84c302b81d9cc.jpeg) ---

You have to remove the ā€œ.zipā€ from that file, then it should act like a Krita KRA-File. BTW who added the extension ā€œzipā€ to that file? Michelist ---

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

Thatā€™s interesting. Did you download it [here](https://files.kde.org/krita/extras/back_to_school/)? (see screenshot) ![Screenshot 2021-07-13 at 21-52-28 KDE - Experience Freedom](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/3X/9/4/94c18e34d09e89ae373986dd9fa164d27c3cbbbf.png) 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, thatā€™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. Youā€™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 thatā€™s a subject I donā€™t know much about. Michelist ---

Thanks. Maybe @RamonM would know. The other brushes donā€™t seem to do that. ---

> [@CrazyCatBird](#): > > It downloads as a zip. This is another example of a browser being ā€˜helpfulā€™ 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 itā€™s kinda confusing also. Gotta try and remember to rename the zip files that have to do with krita I guess. ---

> [@CrazyCatBird](#): > > 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? I expect that using your finger isnā€™t changing the size - itā€™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. ![Screenshot from 2021-07-14 13-16-14](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/3X/b/9/b91e4635b12a2bbef6455170d8f3790ac6fb1479.png) ---
