Krita is a powerful, open source and community-driven digital art tool for illustrators, concept designers, animators, comic book artists, game developers, and anyone who wants to express themselves through the creation of visual art.
The software offers over a dozen different brush engines that support advanced features like pressure sensitivity, tilt, and rotation. Users can choose from a variety of brush types, including standard brushes, texture-masked brushes, blender brushes, clone brushes, and filter brushes. Each brush can be customized and used as an eraser, and the program includes over a hundred carefully-curated default brushes, with many more available from the community.
The interface features a pop-up palette and a canvas-only mode, allowing users to hide most of the UI and focus solely on their artwork. This creates an immersive painting experience, with brush preset selection, color selection, canvas adjustment, and brush tweaks readily accessible at the tip of the pen.
The layer stack supports a wide variety of layer types, including paint layers, group layers, filter layers, vector layers, clone layers, and fill layers. Users can also utilize various blending modes and effects to bring these layers together. The software offers transparency masks, filter masks, transform masks, colorize masks, and local selection masks for non-destructive editing.
The advanced Transform Tool enables a range of transformations, from standard translation, scaling, and rotation to more complex perspective transformations, warping, liquification, and mesh transformation. These tools allow users to manipulate their artwork in powerful ways.
In addition to its painting tools, the software includes features for traditional frame-by-frame 2D animation and storyboarding, including a dedicated timeline and onion skinning capabilities.
