How Krita Works

Opening up Krita presents a user-friendly interface, welcoming you to a world crafted for creators by creators. It’s got everything an artist needs laid out just where you’d want it.

The canvas is your main stage, the blank space you transform into art. Think wide open spaces, ready to come alive with color and imagination. It’s all about giving you the room to do your best work.

On the left side, meet your Toolbox. This is like your personal toolkit packed with all the essentials: brushes for every stroke, precise selection tools, transformers, and even a trusty eraser for those touch-ups. Everything’s just a click away, so you can jump right into the action.

The brush presets sit either on the right or the bottom, like a painter’s palette, offering a treasure trove of options. Hundreds of brushes await your command, whether you’re in the mood for a soft watercolor or a sharp ink line. Dive in and find the one that’s calling your name.

The Layers Panel, usually hanging out on the right, is your backstage crew keeping everything in order without stealing your spotlight. Layers help manage the chaos, allowing you to stack, hide, or change elements without fear of messing everything up. Perfect for experimenting and finding what works.

Up top is the Toolbar, your quick access band of settings. Adjust your brush size, tweak the opacity, play with blending modes, and even dabble in mirroring. Everything distills down to just the right balance and control.

And here’s the great thing: you can tailor Krita’s interface to fit your style. Move panels around, adjust the layout, and make it truly yours. It’s like having your studio every which way you like it, nothing standing between you and the creative flow.

With an interface built for artistry and efficiency, Krita offers a seamless blend of design and function. It’s about empowering you, the artist, to explore and create without constraints, getting your ideas out of your head and onto the canvas with ease.
