      I agree! Our studio has been donating to Krita's development for years & the new version released this year is really comparable to PS. We also did the beta test for Android & looks great on Samsung! For painting, Krita's brush engine + customization is actually superior to PS if you have a system that can handle it, e.g., smudge brushes with texture mask + color dynamics. It lets you apply paint & push it around on canvas in a way that feels like traditional art. It also offers full GMic integration so there's unlimited filters for the photo folks.
      Please note, Krita is designed to work across platforms & for users all over the world, so it has a lot of customization options. If you find your brushes are lagging or pen pressure isn't working, it's either bc (1) you have Windows Ink & need to choose that option in the "Configure Krita" menu, or (2) you need to make other tweaks to settings like increasing the amount of memory the app can use or using the Tablet Tester under the Configure menu to set the pen sensitivity. I recommend everyone try the app, even if you have PS.

    I wanna say that in Krita, I definitely have the option to hotkey color picker. I'm not sure why it isn't working for you but I do know it's an option. Mine is bound to ctrl and I don't have to manually re-elect my brush after.
    Besides that, Krita is definitely my preferred choice. Like you said, it's only a shame that gradient maps don't work so well but I do actually find the brushes to be in many ways better than PS. So it's a trade off I'm willing to make ( watercolor brushes are super good )

    I've been using Medibang for a while now. In Medibang there's a brush control tab, it was in the same section as the brush selector, the tabs were at the bottom so I don't think you noticed. Creating brushes in medibang is also different from photoshop. It's hard to explain without images, but I'll try to explain in a reply to this. It's easy to customise the workspace, in the windows tab at the top you can find things. Like photoshop, you just drag the tab to reorganise the workspace.
    I'm not familiar with Kirta but I do know at the settings tab at the top there are options to customise your workspace with even more UI elements (Settings > Dockers). The themes are also nice, they're like dark and light mode, but more advanced (Settings > Themes). Under the window tab at the top there's premade workspaces (Window > Workspace), there's one for animation, a couple for vector and many for illustration making.

  • @GrayFridle

      I suggest giving Krita another try. The version that was released this year is highly superior to past versions. Also do yourself a favor & download a few good brush sets such as "Hushcoil" (google it) & David Revoy's sets. He's an illustrator who helps design Krita brushes & he offers additional downloads for free on his website. If you find Krita lags, you may need to tweak the settings to allow the program to use more memory, but if you're on a PC that's able to stream YT vids, you've prob got enough memory. Krita even works on Android now

    I have a design studio that uses PS of course, but I absolutely LOVE Krita. It's brush engine & customizability is the the best for painting, far superior to PS, & my Krita has 100% of the hotkeys I use in PS so I'm not sure why your color picker didn't work. Our studio uses Samsung tablets & 2-in-1 PCs (basically, the Samsung version of MS Surface) which incorporates Wacom pen tech + Windows Ink, which is optimal for painting & works great with Krita. I haven't found any other program that lets you apply paint & push it around in a way that feels as natural as Krita, except maybe Corel Painter, but it's pricy. Our studio has donated to Krita's development for years & I strongly recommend it to everyone.

  • @Zaire82
    @Zaire82 3 роки тому +4

    For Krita, you can just press *Ctrl* to go to colour picker. For as long as you press Ctrl, you are in colour picker, and once you release it, you go back to the previous brush.
    I think that's what you were saying it couldn't do, but it can. It's just on Ctrl instead of Alt.

    There is another thing in Krita that makes it good for a hobbyists and art enthusiasts who are not up to spent money on their hobby: Krita is pretty low on hardware requirements. I use it on notebook with 4Gb RAM, dual core 2.2GHz cpu and no graphics card, and it still work acceptable with canvases up to 2000x3000 pixels.

    Used photoshop for years until I made the switch to Krita, which is in my opinion a better drawing/painting app than Photoshop in a lot of ways. Although I agree photoshops gradient map is slicker atm. Krita’s brush engine is better which is what’s paramount to me. Great video btw 🙂🙌🏾

    Hello Marc! I've recently discovered you and this channel, gotta say it's pretty amazing! I really appreciate all your knowledge and tutorials that you so kindly upload for free.
    I use Krita myself (GIMP too for certain things), but am still very much a nooblet in pretty much all aspects. I'd love to use your brushes, though it seems without photoshop I'd only get the png tips and none of the attributes. Personally, I think it would be very useful to understand - 'brush theory' - basically how you make your brushes! What tip shape, size, opacity, spacing, ect. is useful for what situations.
    This way nooblets everywhere could stop blindly trying to 'find the best brushes' and start to make their own! (I've noticed that more advanced digital artists tend to have made / modified their own brushes). It would apply across most / all applications as well. I think an understanding of how your tools work helps you use them correctly, and digital painting tools are pretty mystical.
    It's probably a bit too into the weeds though haha, I doubt that you're messing with brushes that often. And of course it's the artist - not the tool.
    Still, thanks for sharing your insight!

  • @Sewius
    @Sewius 3 роки тому +3

    I left PS CS2 for Krita some time ago. I can't see myself going back unless the brush engine has made major improvements since then. One thing I would suggest people wanting to try it keep in mind is to expect a slight learning curve. There is just so much you can do with it. It's actively developed and they have ways of letting you give feedback suggestions and request.

I'm a hobbyst with more than enough other expensive hobbies, so I don't feel like dropping a monthly sub into Adobe's greedy jaws (also because I absolutely despise the Software-as-a-service business model.

      (as for paid programs) There's Affinity Designer that is 1time payment. It's an alternative for Adobe illustrator, but it has some tools from Affinity Photo (alternative for Photoshop), so you can sort of do both vector and raster art ;) It's very similar to Adobe programs. For now I mostly miss "smart objects" there and being able to "vectorise" a raster image (but I use Inkscape for that). It's quite young program, so it might get much closer to Adobe in the future (though it's really close even now) :P I switched to Affinity last year, so I could do my university projects (graphic design) at home, but also use it for my digital art :P They have some sales ones in a while (black friday, covid etc.)

    I recently switched to Krita from Photoshop and agree with you completely. I have worked with each of the programs you went over, and Krita has felt the most like Photoshop. It's missing some of photoshop's functions, but nothing that is missed too badly for me. I struggled with the color picked too though haha, i eventually figured out that the default was set to control instead of alt. Oh! And medibang does allow for custom brushes by the way, I have seen some nice ones com from there before, but there aren't very many options for customizing them if I remember correctly.

    actually in medibang paint pro there is cloud brushes and you can make your own too. I mustn't be the first to tell but if your looking how to here's simple steps.
    1.click the cloud icon
    2.you can see the cloud brushes. just click what you like.
    to make your own brushes
    1.draw the pattern in canvas (or file)
    2.click the add brush(bitmap ver)
    3.select from canvas (from file)
    4.adjust settings in edit window
    or... you could just search in medibang website. it'll guide you.

    It was so smooth going between them. and I never looked back tbh.
    Yes Krita lacks a lot of polish and stablity but man oh man its just too good and its potential is limitless.
    its just ... the thing that Breaks me and just ... make me go GRRRR teh eraser in the pen doesnt work. ever since a certain update my eraser in the pen doesnt work. like the program recognise it but when you use the eraser it uses it as a paint .. I reported this error so many times and yet no one fixed it yet it drives me mad. I know its easy to just Click E but it uses the same pen so the erase isnt as consistent but before the eraser was it own Paint brush.

      Hi, Krita now allows you to "map" 10 brushes to hot keys. Go into Tools -> Scripts -> Ten Brushes & choose whichever brushes you like. You can make 1 of these the hard eraser or whatever other erase you want to use consistently. If you want to change the hot keys for these, go into Settings -> Configure Krita -> Keyboard Shortcuts -> Tools -> Scripts -> Ten Brushes

Change brush size easily with shift + lmb and drag up to increase or decrease. Also you can select active layer directly on the canvas with r+lmb 🙃

    Oh and shortcutwise in Krita, Ctrl is color picker. Space is pan. Shift + Space is rotate canvas (click and drag), Ctrl+space is zoom canvas (click and drag), Hold shift (click and drag) to increase/decrease brush size. 1,2,3 is Zoom 100%, Zoom fit height and zoom fit width. 456 is rotate 15 dgree left/reset rotation/15 degree right. Check out G'mic-qt addon for filters. it is INCREDIBLE and works with GIMP (and i think Paintdotnet) too.
