And also we can adjust the size and the opacity of the brush directly from this pop-up menu in Krita. This pop-up menu in Krita really helped me a lot to group together the brushes that I use the most, so that I didn't have to switch back and forth looking the brush I'm going to use from different groups. But the best teacher to learn enything is to experience it, and try it out yourself, and so I did.

To fill in the blanks, I watched some tutorials in youtube about Krita basic usage. Next thing is I downloaded Krita and start using it for doing digital illustration works.Ĭoming from Firealpaca where there aren't so many settings like in Krita (brush engine), I was a little bit overwhelmed, but also amazed in the same time. And then this is where I remember about Krita, an open source painting program running in multiplatform operating systems. There is no linux version for Firealpaca (at this moment of writing), which in the end 'force' me to switch and use other digital painting software that should be reliable in linux. Not until I switch my OS to Elementary Loki.

so I've heard about Krita for quite sometime, but at that time I was still comfortable using Firealpaca.
