Krita has a huge range of brushes and smudge tools inspired by real brushes. This is a little bit about each of them and how they work. The brushes can all be fully customised and you can customise the smudge effect of each brush to create a wet blending effect. For a beginner, Krita is perfect because you probably won’t need to make any changes to these brushes. If you want your paintings to feel like traditional inks, or oil or acrylic paintings, try out the Krita's bristle brush engine.
The bristle brush engine aims to replicate how a real life brush would work. There you have it, a veritable treasure hoard of downloadable brushes for Krita, and even some explanation of how to use Krita's built-in brush engines.įor those who still aren't satiated, Krita also supports Photoshop brushes! I find it's the default brush is best for an ink aesthetic, but by playing with the brush settings you can make some great oil and acrylic brushes! In the brush settings, you define the area with "bristles" in it, and the size and rotation settings affect the whole brush tip, not the individual "bristles". The only catch is that Krita imports the Photoshop brush files just as brush tips without the other settings, so for most Photoshop brushes you will need to adjust the brush settings to make them work properly. In my opinion, learning how the Krita brush engines work is the smartest thing to do.
