"Best free art program I've ever used!"

5/5

What do you like best about Krita?

This program has saved my ass countless times with the autosave feature. I literally just finished drawing a realism peacock on it and excitedly unplugged my laptop so I could show it to my mom and right as I did it, my laptop CRASHED. I frantically turned it back on, searched through my folder to see if I could find any hint of an autosave file and couldn't see one. Opened Krita in defeat about to start again, opened the file I started for it, AND IT ASKED IF I WANTED TO OPEN THE AUTOSAVE FILE! HALLELUJAH! God stepped down from the heavens and handed me a small loan of a million dollars! All that was missing was my signature but that was an easy fix. If I could rate Krita 10 out of 5 stars, I absolutely would. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Krita?

Sometimes finding the separate brush modes can be a little tricky, but it's a small price to pay. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Krita:

Like I said before, the autosave feature is great. Not to mention, there are several different brush and texture packs that you can download and set into your Krita program. I've downloaded the watercolor brush set and absolutely love it. It's very fun and easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Krita solving and how is that benefiting you?

All I'm really doing is creating art and animations with this program. I can't really see what else it would be that useful for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best Digital Painting Software I Have Used."

4.5/5

What do you like best about Krita?

Krita is the most advanced and complete paiting open source software I have seen.

It's tools quality and it's speed make you think Karita is a paid, strong developed software as Photoshop or CorelDraw is, but is free to use and open source.

If you are a digital painter, you can drop the other software you use and stop paying for it. This is your new main tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Krita?

As many open source projects, it's developing speed is not as good as other kind of software.

Now Krita has lauched crowd funding campaigns and they have been a big success, so you can expect this issue to chance at any moment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Krita:

If you have already used any other software for digital painting, you could have some problems getting used to Krita´s tools, but with little practice you will feel at home pretty fast. Practice is probably the most important thing in the learning process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Krita solving and how is that benefiting you?

Texture paiting for 3D models. Krita has many tools, brushes and dynamics to work with that makes the process much easier and natural. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Krita Review from a Newbie Perspective"

5/5

What do you like best about Krita?

The variety of brush engines and the built in smoothing algorithm Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Krita?

Krita is such a beast that it may overwhelm a newcomer, especially a first time and aspiring digital artist like me. But if you ever use PaintTool SAI, the interface is not too different and you'll master it within minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Krita:

Krita is still in active development. As a free and open source software, you also has a right to make improvements to Krita. Whether by submitting feature requests, doing the dirty laundry by submitting codes, support financially by pledging on Kick Starter, or even just making custom brushes and artworks using Krita. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Krita solving and how is that benefiting you?

I usually create some sketches in Krita before I export it to GIMP and then export it to Inkscape. Long workflow, indeed. But it worths the journey because Krita can make clean line art for vector arts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"amazing"

5/5

What do you like best about Krita?

All painting tools, as to work with textures in the brushes, distortion in the images directly on the screen, I love also feature wrap-around mode and Multibrush tool. There are many tools that enchants me, tools that help me a lot in my workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Krita?

Sometimes it is too slow in complex work. As an example I can cite when increased much brush size. Sometimes problems with Text tool. Sometimes I have problems with files in PSD format, both to save as opening a native Photoshop file. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Krita:

Krita has evolved a lot in the latest versions and I see a promising future. With the inclusion of resources for animation I was very excited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Krita solving and how is that benefiting you?

I had a job that needed to have the texture of a painting on canvas, the brush strokes needed to have the fabric texture intervention. It was easy to solve this in Krita, exceeding my expectations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Unusual piece of drawing software heading for the big time"

5/5

What do you like best about Krita?

It has a wide variety of brushes and tools that aren't locked into a predefined way of thinking about art tools. It develops rapidly and is constantly getting better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Krita?

The interface is not a slick as it could be, but having said that, it is improving. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
