I’m new here so, hopefully I didn’t mess up posting this somewhere it doesn’t belong ◑﹏◐
Anyways. I come from ps and just finished my first illustration in Krita.
It was kinda difficult at first cause a lot things just operate differently in Krita
compared to ps but I think I got the hang of it in the end, at least to some extend.
Being done with this illustration, already planning my next one, I was wondering if there are any plugins, tools, brush packs or Krita specific work flows that I should be aware of to speed up my process?
I pretty much just brute forced this one with an opacity round brush and one other textured brush.
Made quickly a few squiggles with brushes I like and marked the most important ones to me with red.
But in general. The biggest thing that I miss are the vegetation brushes from
Devin Elle Kurtz (https://tamberella.gumroad.com/) (◠‿◠)
I only could re-discover them because I downloaded that bundle shortly after it was posted on her blog. And not so long ago, someone asked for her brushes, and as I was searching for the link to that bundle, I couldn’t find it anymore on her blog. But since I make a copy from every page I download a resource from, I was able to find it feeding Google with a sentence or two from that copy, and Google spit it out.
True. Although I don’t think I wanna do that again.
It do be kinda exhausting. lol.
But at the same time. The (I think it was 7) different brush engines seem kinda scary. X﹏X
I do the same! I have created like 1 brush on Krita. The rest I just downloaded brushes from other Krita users. There are many resources, but my favorites are
Zedig Brushes Rad Pack
And the Fizziflower’s mentioned above which is really extensive.
Finally the shorcut composer plugin is something that I integrated into my pipeline and I don’t think I can live again without it! Shorcut composer
yooo this is sick. Thank you. just checked out everything you mentioned and I love it.
feels like I’m slowly tuning Krita to behave more like Photoshop. lol.
(though the question is if that is a good thing )
The Shortcut composer is kinda of different, but I am not sure because it has been like 10 years since I used PS. It is more like Blender and the pie menus. But there are many ways to customize Krita so at the end of the day, how you feel more comfortable is the way!
