Application Description

Krita is a professional-grade digital painting program that caters to artists working on illustrations, comics, animations, concept art, and storyboards. As a robust tool, Krita is designed to enhance your creative process with a suite of features that make painting both enjoyable and efficient.

Krita boasts an array of both traditional and cutting-edge functionalities to elevate your artwork. It includes advanced brush engines perfect for sketching and painting, stabilizers to smooth out freehand inking, and assistants to aid in crafting intricate scenes.
