Krita is a free open source digital drawing and painting app with all the tools you need to start making professional-grade illustrations, whether for concept art, comics or games.
Key Features
Brushes made for painters
Krita has a robust brush engine that can simulate the look and feel of traditional media and comes with over 100 built-in brushes, with a lot more from the Krita community. These brushes are designed to give artists a wide range of options for creating different textures and effects in their digital artwork. Whether you are looking to mimic the look of oil paint, watercolor, or charcoal, Krita’s diverse selection of brushes provides the tools you need to bring your artistic vision to life.
Multi-layer editing
With Krita’s powerful layer engine, you can select multiple layers and edit them at the same time, as if they were grouped, allowing for seamless editing and adjustments to be made across multiple layers without the need to merge or flatten them.
Mesh transform tool
The mesh transform tool allows you to freely transform a layer or group of layers by setting nodes (think of them like vertices in a 3D modeling program) and dragging them around, making it possible to edit a portion of a drawing without erasing and redrawing it.
2D animation
Switch to the animation workspace and create 2D frame-by-frame animation right inside of Krita. You can draw your animation frame by frame, import audio, and then export your animation to a video or as a series of images.
Assistant tool
Easily create one-point, two-point, and three-point perspective grids with Krita’s Assistant tool.
Highly customizable workspaces
Create custom workspaces for different tasks, arrange elements to your liking, and make the app your own.
Krita is a free open source drawing and painting program that’s geared towards making 2D illustrations. If you’re an illustrator, concept artist, comic book artist or game artist, Krita will make a fine addition to your toolkit or even become your primary tool of choice.
