Process Plugin Ideas

Hello,

I am new to Krita and digital drawing so I started to look at tutorials or books about “How to draw”. I want to make some manga/kawaii things.

In some tutorials I have seen multiple steps/processes to make the drawing:

  • Sketch it, with potentially multiple sub-steps
  • Ink it
  • Add some coloring areas not controlled by the inked parts
  • Shadows
  • Highlight
  • (Probably others I am not aware of for the moment)

For all those steps there are layers and grouped layers to create.

In some videos or live streams on twitch, I saw people create them dynamically.

So my idea/question is: Would it be good to have a plugin to create an environment ready to achieve those steps?

  • Create a new document with all those layers/groups already created
  • Have a toolbar with the current step and make actions when clicking on the button (change the opacity of sketch layers if I am in inking, …)
  • Preload a preferred color palette
  • Layout things

I do some Python scripting for personal projects (Blender, CLI) so I think it could be interesting to make such a plugin.

Please give me your point of view about this idea.

Take Care

Hi

Before starting a plugin, you can take a look on these topics, dicussions about what’s could be implemented in Krita for comics workflows

Also for these 3 cases:

I think Krita’s template functionality might cover it :thinking:
