I know Krita has a halftone filter, but it can never create something as subtle as the above candle glow. I suppose it’s possible to make a texture brush and just paint it, but I’m not sure how. Any advice?
The candle glow effect seems to be the cross hatching technique. The half tone is just the result of the printing process. So, I think you should render the glow using the cross hatching technique then apply the halftone filter after.
The point is not how this was done with the real-life physical media. I’m wondering is there an easier way to emulate this effect with a Krita brush.
By the way if you just apply Krita’s halftone filter over cross hatching, it would definitely not have the subtleness of it, no matter how your cross hatching is. Halftone filter looks very digital (or at least looks like premade halftone screens) and nothing like the image above.
these brushes should do something similar. After a little tweaking with levels filter (maybe)
