Recreating settings + brushes similar to Paint tool sai?

Hello again I was wondering if its possible to recreate the feeling of the line quality from paint tool sai ?Like stabilization wise or even these brushes. Mostly the marker brush,watercolor and pencil. Thank you.



Yeah there is the stabilization in Krita, aka located in the tool options,

but the brushes it self

with the pencil brush, unless there texture in the brush you best bet is the basic-5 and shrinking the brush

with the marker and water color brush you best bet is downloading/using HC_Basic Brush bundle
and using the basic blend-color-circle and basic blend-color-soft

I have never gotten the Krita stabilizer to feel good, or to feel at all like the 30 days I played with SAI many years ago. When I looked up tutorials on using it, it seemed like they tended to be no more complex than ‘it exists’ and ‘turn it on’, but it didn’t seem like the people sharing that used it regularly themselves. Perhaps it’s not as popular with the more painterly crowd Krita is more frequently used by (as opposed to a lineart/comic style in SAI or Clip Studio)?

yeah thats how i feel too :frowning: to be honest i may just use some stabilizer plug ins to help or just adjust it more and play with it .

Oh yeah. The endless cycle here on K-A when the stabilizer is bought up.
Here a summary of how usually goes:

  • User A: The stabilizer in Krita is odd.
  • Krita evangelist A: Krita’s basic stabilizer is perfect for my illustrations.
  • User A: However the weighted is useless for line art, and the stabilizer is ‘wrong’(?)
  • Krita evangelist B: The weighted is a common stabilizer method, with already established parameters. We should focus on the stabilizer then, what’s wrong with it?
  • User A: I don’t know. It is just ‘not right’. Is not the same as program Y.
    Krita evangelist A: Krita stabilizer is what some other programs call a Pulled String smoothing, but without the visual line pulling. Have you tried the Dynamic brush? It might be closer to what you want.
  • User B: I tried every tool, and every setting. Krita just don’t work for good line art.
  • Krita evangelist C: _User B can you tell what is not working?
  • User B: Just use Program X or Y and see for yourself.
  • User A: Not the same.

After a bunch of useless back and forth:

  • Random user: Can anyone tell exactly what is not right? Make some video/picture of what you expect to see happening, but it doesn’t? A side-by-side how krita differs from other better stabilizers? What information or parameters are confusing? With enough information a dev or volunteer would know how to improve the code.

Usually at that last message everyone is fed up and already leave the topic, and that last message fall in deaf ears. I feel like I’m that last random user there. :sweat_smile:

So unless people that are really knowledgeable in stabilizers, and are willing to create a topic with the maximum of points where to improve, krita will stay with the same mediocre solutions.

Use the dynamic brush tool imagen , that’s the type of stabilization that SAI uses.

That’s my setup, having the mass at 0.08 is like having the stabilizer at level 8.

ohhh ok tysm !! is there a way to have regular brushes have the same effect? :o

The dynamic brush tool works with all brush engines.

I don’t know if you mean that :sweat_smile:
