Hope everyone has a great start to 2026!

My color picker seems to keep shifting colors into the teal colors, it’s weird. I probably have sabotaged myself at the start of 2026. But after struggling a little, I feel like I can reliably pick off the color wheel. I guess we’ll see 😁

2026 - year of not using the color picker!

oof, that’s rough. no color picker is a no go for me. I gotta have it.

Have you figured out what is causing it? Have you posted a bug report?

it isn’t easy to stop if you’ve been used to using it for a long time, but it’s possible - just gotta embrace the suck for a little while 😉

No idea. Doesn’t happen anymore. Might have been something with Krita, or the wacom driver. I have since restarted my computer, and it doesn’t seem to happen any more (new files or even the one where I first noticed it). I’ll try a few more times, maybe it has to do with the fact that I had a reference image, but that seems incorrect - i use that feature all the time and never had problems.

but 2026 is still going to be the year without color picking 😃 … it’s been decided

what if you need to blend in between the colors though? do you just store the colors in your foreground/background color and switch between the two?

So for the portrait I have above, I put down colors with a smudge brush or a normal brush and then smudged. I’m picking colors based on [lessons from Marco Bucci](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWfodZ2L4cI) – treating gray as a gravity well 🙂

If I am blending, I have picked the majority of the intermediate colors.. but I’m trying to being much more deliberate (this is an exercise i used to do [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0Qbw7Wlsgc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0Qbw7Wlsgc) and what I’m revisiting now)

The skins have amazing transitions though, especially if you are using that technique in that video.

Good job.

apparently I’ve reached the sketchbook topic limit 😂 - it’s 5! Guess it’s time to rename this sketchbook and make it last forever ♾

bummer… it looks like I can’t change the image the topic uses in gallery mode any more.
