Make this suggestion again: we can hold an event about Krita

…Especially activities related to Anime.(…尤其是与日漫有关联的活动。)
I checked some paintings painted by Krita in this forum. As an ordinary Krita enthusiast, I am very happy to see many paintings painted by Krita, but most of them are American paintings, and there are very few Anime (paintings tagged with anime)… And many of them are biased towards American comics.(我查看了这个论坛中一些使用Krita绘制的画作,作为一名普通的Krita爱好者,很开心能够看到不少Krita绘制的画作,但大多数都是美式的画作,日系的画作(打了anime的tag的画作)很少…而且这其中,有很多偏向于美漫。)
Therefore, in order to attract more Anime to use Krita, I think we can hold some Anime related activities (no remuneration and rewards, purely for everyone to have fun together), such as drawing their own character settings in Anime style, and then interview the best painters and recommend them on the Krita official website.(所以为了吸引更多日漫画师来使用Krita,我想可以举办一些日漫相关的活动(没有报酬及奖励,纯粹为了大家一起开心的绘画),例如以日漫风格画自己的人物设定,然后采访画的最好的画师,在Krita官方网站间进行推荐。)
In addition, we can also consider sending volunteers to establish Krita-related accounts maintained by volunteers on other social platforms (such as Sina Weibo, lofter) and interact with other Krita enthusiasts or users, which can attract more people to join the Krita family.(另外,我们也可以考虑派志愿者在其他社交平台(例如新浪微博,lofter)建立由志愿者维护的Krita相关的账号,并与其他Krita爱好者或用户进行互动,这样的话可以吸引更多人加入Krita的大家庭。)
This post is not rigorous. It’s just a suggestion that I remembered for a moment. I apologize here first. I’m just an ordinary fan of Krita. If this post makes you unhappy or disturbs you, please let me know. I promise not to post like this again.(这篇帖子不严谨,只是我一时想起来的建议,我先在此道歉。我只是一位Krita的普通爱好者,如果这篇帖子令大家感到不快,或者打扰了大家,请告诉我。我将保证不再发这样的帖子。)
I won’t communicate with others. I’m sorry again.(我不会与其他人交流,再次抱歉。)

This is my current painting level, and I still need a lot of practice.(这是我现在的绘画水平。还需要练习。)

I’m not sure if we need to do anything organized. As you said, there aren’t that many anime artists on our forum, and even fewer at a professional skill level.

If promoting means more angry posts such as “why feature X doesn’t work like in CSP”, then maybe it’s better to not promote :joy: (I’m joking).

My own plan is to just keep using Krita, improve my skill, and eventually promote Krita that way by showing my artworks. But for this to convince people, the art really has to be at a sufficiently high quality level, and that’s still a long road ahead for me :sweat_smile: So I don’t worry about it too much right now.

You have some really good ideas. Why not share your enthusiasm for Krita with Anime artists who are not happy with the painting app they are currently using? Or maybe you could share Krita with Anime artists who are worried about the cost of their painting app?

By the way…

This forum is international – the people who post paintings here are from all over the world. (Perhaps the use of English makes you think this is an American site?)

You are right. Your idea is also absolutely right. I think so too - keep improving my drawing skills, and then tell others “I use Krita to paint”, and I’m doing the same… But at the same time, I’m thinking that we can also suggest that Krita officially hold some activities to attract more Anime artists to join Krita. In the community.(您说的对。您的想法也完全正确。我也一样这么想——不断提升自己的画技,然后告诉其他人“我使用Krita进行绘画”,我也正在这么做…不过与此同时,我在想,我们也可以建议Krita官方也可以举办一些活动,吸引更多日漫画师加入Krita的社区当中。)@YRH

Thank you for your reply. I’ve done this - I shared Krita with my friend who is also a Japanese cartoonist… I only have one friend. Sorry. In addition, I don’t think this is an American website. I just guess that most of the painters here are American cartoonists based on observation.(谢谢回复。我已经这么做过了——我将Krita分享给了身边同样是日漫画师的好友…我只有一位好友。对不起。另外,我并不认为这是一个美国网站,我只是根据观察猜测这里的画师们多数为美漫画师。)
If you think I’m thinking “this is an American website”, then it should be a translation error… I don’t think so.(如果您认为我在想着“这是一个美国网站”,那么应该是翻译错误…我不这么想。)
I just want to make suggestions to the Krita official through this post, so that more activities related to Japanese comics can be held outside this forum. If the official doesn’t adopt it, then don’t adopt it.(我只是想通过这张帖子给Krita官方提建议,可以在这个论坛之外多举办一些与日漫相关的活动。如果官方不采纳,那就不采纳吧。)@sooz

When you are visiting Japanese social networking sites, look for Anime artists who are frustrated with their painting app. They might love to hear about Krita from someone like you.

I’m not talking about facts, but I would like to remind everyone. Also, this is just a suggestion, but I hope you will take it seriously.
Recently, a large number of netizens from other countries, led by American netizens, have poured into a Chinese mobile app called “XiaoHongShu”, and I won’t explain the details here, but it’s a good thing to promote Krita to the world.
I searched on the topic of “Krita” in Xiaohongshu and found that there were very few results (and there was a lot of content related to AI painting), but if we intentionally or unintentionally (or even send volunteers to set up an unofficial Krita-related account) to publish non-AI paintings on topics related to “Krita” and “painting”, I believe that gradually more artists or users who like painting will start to be interested in Krita and start using Krita.
In addition, another thing to note is that I have been searching for the topic of “Krita” on Sina Weibo every day, either intentionally or unintentionally, and found that the situation is even worse - in addition to complaining that Krita is inconvenient for them, it is the AI painting course… This may also have something to do with Sina Weibo. I don’t know about other places outside of Xiaohongshu and Sina Weibo.
(我不是在讨论实事,但还是要提醒一下大家。另外,这只是一个建议,但还是希望大家能够重视一下。
最近,以美国网友为首,大量来自其他国家的网友涌入了一款名为“小红书”(XiaoHongShu)的中国手机端应用,详细原因我不在此说明,但这对于向世界推广Krita来讲,是件好事情。
我在小红书中使用“Krita”这个话题搜索了一下,发现结果非常少(而且掺杂着大量AI绘画相关的内容),但如果我们有意或者无意(甚至派遣志愿者专门建立一个非官方Krita相关账号)使用“Krita”与“绘画”这些相关话题发表非AI绘画作品,相信逐渐会有更多画师或者喜欢绘画的用户开始对Krita感兴趣,并开始使用Krita。
另外,另外一个需要注意的事情,我每日都在有意或者无意打开新浪微博搜索“Krita”这个话题,发现情况更糟了——除了抱怨Krita对他们不便利的话,就是AI绘画课程…这也可能与新浪微博风气有关。小红书与新浪微博之外的其他的地方,我就不知道了。)
