Krita stands out as a professional digital painting program, tailored specifically for artists who engage in creating illustrations, comics, animations, concept art, or storyboards. With its comprehensive suite of tools, Krita serves as a powerful ally for any creative project.
The application is packed with both traditional and innovative features that enhance the joy and efficiency of painting. Artists can enjoy advanced brush engines for sketching and painting, along with stabilizers for smooth freehand inking. Krita also offers assistants for building intricate scenes, a distraction-free canvas-only mode for focused painting, and advanced features like clone layers, layer styles, and filter and transform masks for non-destructive editing. Compatibility is not an issue, as Krita supports widely-used file formats, including PSD.
For those interested in animation, Krita includes onion skinning and storyboarding capabilities, alongside comic book project management tools. It supports Python scripting, a variety of powerful filters, selection tools, colorizing tools, and color-managed workflows. The application also boasts flexible workspaces that cater to different artistic needs. To explore the full range of features Krita offers, visit the official website at https://krita.org!

Krita is developed by the Krita Foundation and Halla Rempt Software, and it is a proud member of the KDE community.
