Hello everyone! My name is Juan Prada, Iām a Colombian freelance Mangaka living in Japan. Very recently I decided to move from my CSP and Windows (plus other tools) setup to a full opensource setup (or as open source as I can) thanks mostly to the current status of Krita (which I found to be an amazing tool, in my opinion, ready for professional manga work), and inspired by David Revoy and his comic.
Iām also a software developer so I might start checking how to contribute to Krita with code (canāt promise as my main job takes most of my time, but will definitely give it a try).
Nice to e-meeting you all!

Hi everybody. I come from the Prague, Czech Republic. I work at a call center, so I only draw in my free time. Iāve only bought a tablet and installed Krita for a few days, before that I did traditional media for two years, mainly watercolour. I love SFFH and comics, my favorite artists are Alex Ross, David Mack, John Romita Jr, Frank Miller, Stjepan Sejic, Mirka Andolfo, Luis Royo and many more.

Hi,
My name is Tom, retired since 2018.
It is now that I can concentrate fully on my hobbyās and if possible look into other creative issues in case I have a few hours left.
Main hobby is Photography, using Affinity as my development tool and Da Vinci Resolve in case I need to manipulate a video. A couple of months ago I met KRITA which made me very curious.
Being married to a (retired) drawing artist and Aquarel painter I have to come up with special things otherwise: (quote) ādigital drawing is not the real thingā 
Anyway I have some things in mind I would love like to create but Iāll start slow and learn as much as possible from you guys.
This is my first creation titeled: āThis is not a cameraā (and not a photo either)
Regards, Tom

Wonderful! This was painted in Krita?
Hey everyone!
I go by rostiger online and Iām an artist and game maker from Vienna, Austria.
I co-founded a game studio called Broken Rules in 2009 and have been responsible for most of the art, but lately mainly for the creative direction of our projects.
Our latest games are called Old Manās Journey, ELOH and Gibbon: Beyond the Trees.
After a decade working with Apple and Adobe products Iāve switched to Linux (currently running Ubuntu) and FOSS software. Iāve been using Krita for over a year now and have created a bunch of different works with it. Thereās a lot to like about it, not lastly the idea of being able to contribute to it.
Some samples of the work Iāve done in Kirta include the level sketches for Gibbon:
As well as a series of illustrated notes on a virtual machine called uxn:
If you are curious you can find more of these on my personal website/wiki: https://nchrs.xyz/
See you around!

@rostiger your artworks are you wonderful, does your studio uses freewodtware too?
Hey @raghukamath! Thanks for the kind words - unfortunately we mostly donāt use FOSS at the studio, but Iāve certainly been advocating for it. Itās a bit of a hard sell, since people are very used to specific software and features, some of which might be less readily available in free software.
Hi, Welcome to the Communituy. Is a beautiful first artwork.

Hello all,
Iām a fairly long time user of Krita, and I actually use it exclusively to do my digital stuff. If you are interested in having a look, thereās my instagram galery here: @The_tetine, or my artstation galery (which I should probably update a bit): tetine on Artstation,and here is the latest example from a small not very well known game Iāve been playing lately :
Recently, Iāve been meaning to try and tinker into Kritaās code, to get back into C++, so Iāll also lurk in the develop part of the forum probably. Still trying to figure out why GDB wonāt debug some of the filesā¦ Fun stuff ^^
Anyway, Iāll now take some time and get a bit more acquainted with this forum itself. Bye for now

Hello fellow artists!
My name is Yves (34, m), but BFJerky works as well 
I come from the tiny lands of Liechtenstein!
I am an open book, so feel free to ask any question that comes to mind when you come across my posts
Learning to draw has been a huge change of direction in my life and is still largely informing where I am currently heading.
Coming out of university I was lost and working in the field Iāve studied was not something I wanted to continue doing. It was quite frankly depressing. So I started to draw again, because I remembered liking it as a child. At least Iām doing something healthy and productive again, I told myself.
While drawing only occasionally in the begining, it has now become something I do almost daily. For the longest time, there was only the goal of ājust getting better at itā, while having no clear aim or even things that I wanted to draw in mind. Which is why, after a few years of doodling and drawing, I have no real ācompletedā artworks. Only sketches in my sketchbook and loose sheets of paper peaking out of corners here and there.
Lately things have changed. I have a better understanding of why I want to get better at drawing and what I want to do with this newfound skill. There seems to be a direction now. A path to follow with personal milestones I want to achieve through creating art.
One of these personal milestones Iām working towards is sharing the process and my drawings and all the thoughts, struggles and happy moments that come with it. For that, I need to come out of my selfimposed isolation and meet people. A community of fellow artists and those aspiring to become artists.
So I looked towards the internet. This is the age of social media after all. There must be a place somewhere to find likeminded people with shared interests My first encounters with it were on Instagram, but I donāt feel like itās a good place for having conversations. So my search continued and the format of a forum appealed much more to me. With reddit in flames, I found the krita forum.
I have a cintiq and doodle in Krita, so I thought āok, letās activate that account againā. Learning digital art is one more of those milestones. So here I am!
I like the spirit of the open source community. Back when I started out learning to navigate digital art, Iāve come across wonderful krita users on youtube. Merely watching and listening to other people creating art was such a helpful experience, especially starting out. And Krita is free! hehe
I want to have a positive influence on others as well and I believe I can do so in the world of the open source community, Krita and art.

Hi @Tetine , glad to have you with us! Thatās a beautiful drawing you shared! Donāt have to be so secretive, you can tell the gameās title if you think itās worth it 
BTW, your Instagram gallery doesnāt seem to work!
Hi @BFJerky , I hope youāll have a great time around the forums and using Krita! I think having art as a creative hobby to offset your less creative (or otherwise) day job is a perfect mix! That way you donāt have to sweat it to make money with your art and you can focus on whatever you like the best to make progress.
