Krita. I don't use it at a professional level so I don't know if it's missing important features, but as far as I know it's also used by skilled artists. Also, the documentation is great.

Any mentions of Krita on the internet come attached with one of two conversations.

  • How good it is, for how more obscure it is versus other art. Often put alongside Paint Tool SAI in the tier list. With 90% of the onlookers claiming to not have ever used either of course.

  • A weird, borderline unhealthy obsession with discussing the necessity of software mascot characters.

And the latter is then split absolute evenly between nerds who for some reason really dislike Libre Office's mascot and want to shit on all software mascots. And between people who want to fuck her and also fuck anything ever designed by Tyson Tan. And I gotta say, you freaking degenerates, I WANTED to play Freedom Planet 2 but every time I think of that game I also think of this shit and how one of you made this gigantic copypasta about the bat girl and....

What was I talking about?

LibreOffice has a mascot?!

Krita is good, intuitive wise on the same level as Photoshop for me πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«

I don't use Krita for art either. I use it as a PaintdotNET replacement and it blows it 20km out of the water

Krita really is exceptional for free software, started doing digital art in it just for fun and it's crazy how many tools are avaialble

I was looking for alternatives for Photoshop Touch (A great photo editing android app) as my new phone does not support 32bit apps. Found this and it even have an Android app. 10/10 rn
