There is a variety of layer types that you can create: paint layers, vector layers, fill & file layers. The layering system resembles that of Photoshop and allows all standard operations: merging, blending, grouping etc. However, the default set of brushes is more than enough to start creating art – and you can always find more packs on the internet, free of charge.Īnother advantage that Krita offers is its layers mechanics. The customization process is versatile and one can create an almost infinite amount of brushes specific to the task. You can tweak and create brushes for ages, and Krita comes with more than nine brush engines. One of the main strengths of Krita is its brush engine. Its main focus is on the artistic painting for cartoons, anime or canvas art, meaning that some features that you may need for photo editing or image manipulation were not prioritized in development.

The tool is completely free and the only way you can support its creator is by donating.

Krita is an open-source painting program made by artists for artists.
