omg This program is great. Q V Q It's like a godmoded Paint Tool Sai.
It has a bunch of camera fancy stuff like...DSLR EDITING...?? Which I don't quiet understand...BUT IT'S THERE.
Basically...It has everything that Sai has and more--Plus they have a lot of the stuff that you'd commonly use in Photoshop-- INFACT...You can save your images as .PSD files! MEANING...You can work inbetween both sai /AND/ Photoshop!
The only down side that I see is the fact that It's a little bit AWKWARD at first because It took me a full 15 minutes to find the eraser tool x__x And It's also a bit hard to find where other things are...but after messing with it for a few hours I think I can emulate my regular things that I do in sai.
Just about the only thing I haven't figured out yet is how to make your own pen tools and stuff??? But I'm probably just an idiot LOL But, they give you enough settings right off the bat that it shouldn't be a problem even if their isn't a way to make your own brushes.
SO UM.
If you don't wanna spend $99999999999 on Photoshop, or Sai alone just doesn't cut it for you I insist that you give Krita a try. u v u

Glad you're enjoying Krita! :)
In order to create your own pen tools, you need to choose "Edit brush settings" in the toolbar.
You can then see all the installed presets and the brush engines that they use, and make changes and test the new brush out in the white-patch on the right hand side (this is also how you create icons for new brushes). Once you are happy you can type a new name in the red label (warning you that you would overwrite an existing preset if you saved) and choose save preset. The icon is created using the square box on the right hand side.
Ramon Miranda created a video talking about creating presets and also organising them using tags https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yoNCVkkSR0
VScorpianC does some neat Krita tutorials on YT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3UM2q2JU7U
There's the Modular Brushset v4 which is pretty neat - lots of new ones.
There's instructions there, but if you run into problems, feel free to ping me on #KritaCritters on furnet, or I might be in the group chat for the Krita Creators group on Steam
Hope that's helpful :D

Omg! Thanks! I found the edit brush settings button! It's not as easy to figure out as Sai's....and also....I'm not sure if I can create a whole new brush without overwritting another??? But at the very least it's there!
Thank you SO much for explaining this to me! Hopefully I can create/emulate a soft/smooth tool like in Sai.... ev e;;;
I really do hope that this catches on because it's a REALLY good program-- Hopefully someone will even make a hack for it that lets you draw online together since it's Open-Source-- that would be HEAVENLY...But even if that never happens this is still a great program.
Thanks so much for helping me~

I work for the company which creates the Windows installers (and has a number of employees who've contributed to Krita in the past, including the maintainer) but I'm fairly new to working on Krita itself (I did work on packaging Calligra Office, which Krita is part of originally though).
Collaborative work is something that has been mentioned before and it's something that I think could be very interesting, but we do have other priorities, but I'll be sure to pass this on :)
