Nov. 2024

Obligatory PSA : This software is free on their actual website, the version on Steam is basically a convenient way to donate to the team while getting updates automatically + tracking your hours. While not the best art app feature-wise and requires a bit of tinkering to get it set up to how you're used to if migrating from some other apps (CSP for me), it's become my go-to because it does pretty much anything I want without much fuss. No features are locked behind a paywall or need a subscription. It just works and it's great. There's also a solid amount of external resources (brush packs, tutorials, etc) as well as a still active community for support when needed. Overall strong recommend, esp. if you're looking to move from something like Adobe.

Yes, it's a free software, but it's definitely worth a purchase on Steam if you're down for supporting the devs, or if you're a weirdo like me and like keeping track of hours on everything. It's an amazing software, very professional feeling and relatively easy to learn your way around it. The brushes are all amazing, and there's loads of texture options if you want to edit one or make your own. You can even make a brush with your own images. I've used many programs throughout my art journey such as Procreate, Ibis Paint X, and Paint Tool Sai, but none come close to the sleek feel you get from using Krita. It is definitely worth a shot!

I love Krita, it is just such an amazing tool for drawing. Bought it on Steam so I can support the devs, get easy access to updates and track hours spent drawing. Definitely recommend getting this on here or the free version from Krita's website, both work perfectly!

May 2024

One of the good open-source artist tool available. You can download Krita on its official website for free. This version on store is just more like "donation to the devs". I think it's best to try Krita with free price first, before spending a few bucks for it. My experience with Krita is just decently fine enough. Not more than half of its features are enough for me to toy around and experience with it. Basically layers, brushes, etc. Give it a try even if you are not an artist. Perhaps as an alternative to photoshop apps too since Krita supports many formats for files.

Dec. 2023

The best app on the market right now. You have 2 options to choose from: 1.) The free version on Krita's official website, which includes everything that the "paid version" does. 2.) Buy it on Steam. Krita is open source, so you can edit what you want and when you want. Krita is a FREE app, the only reason to buy it on Steam is for developer support or the convenience of updates. It is also possible to send a donation to the developers. I have been using Krita for 8 years, but only since the release of version 5.0 can I recommend this application. This update fixed many bugs, lags, crashes and other problems. What I would appreciate in the future is the possibility of transferring brushes from Photoshop directly to Krita. While creating Brushes in Krita is well done, it's more convenient to import a brush instead of making one from scratch. I recommend beginners to familiarize themselves with the application first, read the manual and learn shortcuts before deciding to start creating a masterpiece. I, for example, learn new things even after 8 years of using this beauty. Keep in mind that I'm not a professional artist and can't judge the full potential of this app. Still, I think it's a good app and a worthy competitor to Photoshop when it comes to painting. Even so, I can create decent paintings. I have a sample image displayed on my profile. To all drawing enthusiasts, I wish you good luck, fun and success using this application. Painting is a marathon and not a sprint, so do it with a smile! :D
