>tfw no Krita gf https://krita.org/ I can't believe this program is free; it's improved so much since its first release as far as stability's concerned, too. Some dude's even working on an animation plugin for it. Does anyone know any legit non-Toon Boom or Flash animation software in the interim? So far I've tried Synfig Studio and Pencil2D and they were both unimaginably shitty.

(I'd like to believe it's less expensive at the very least)

>>531 Looks like it's about twice as expensive as Toon Boom Animate so no go there imho. All I know is that I'll probably stick to my Adobe cs5 until hell freezes over at this point. I just really hate Flash's shitty brush so I've always got upgrading on the mind.

I'm a freetard but I'll be goddamned if I ever feel comfortable drawing in anything that's not Paint Tool SAI.

>>540 I don't know much about SAI, if I recall correctly I tried it a while ago and it kept crashing and shit and I got butthurt.
I just downloaded Autodesk Sketchbook and it's pretty cool so far. It's also reasonably priced if you do want to pay for it ($25 a year)
One problem with Krita is that you need bleeding edge hardware to use it without it fugging up.

Alright, I've given it a try and it has all the features I would use in SAI, just hidden behind a clunky (but fortunately very modular) UI. That's okay, though. I'll take the time to learn it because there's nothing that's a bigger pain in the ass than installing shit on WINE or using a Windows partition for one piece of software.
>>541 Well that's KDE for you. Nice features but you need a fucking supercomputer to run their shit.
Anonymous 02/28/15 (Sat) 00:35:56 No. 593
>>592 yeah it's kind of a bummer but it's a great program in general, hopefully some of the kinks are ironed out. I couldn't even use the damn program when it first came out on steam but now it's working pretty damn good apart from a few hiccups here and there.

>>662 I don't know man, small ones are pretty hard to handle. Some people can do amazing things with them I'm sure but I wouldn't personally recommend anything smaller than a medium. If you're not that proficient in drawing just yet it might be a better idea to save your money and stick to physical media for now.

>>664 No problem. One of my biggest mistakes personally has been to buy equipment I was too inexperienced to make good use of. Even now that I'm quite a bit better I still do most of my practicing with a simple number 2 pencil and computer paper. A tablet at this stage can only slow you down and hurt your progress.

>>671 Tell me about it, the more I use it the more I realize some of the serious flaws. One of the most prominent ones to me at this point in time is that the size of a tool you're using doesn't carry over to the next time you use it. So you switch to the eraser and then the brush again and you have to reset the size on either. It's horrendous. It really is a great program but that kind of stuff absolutely kills it. You also can't "move" stuff or scroll the canvas as far as I can tell.
I'd really like to see those features bare minimum, that's really all I'd care about and it'd be pretty much perfect. DAYUM SHAME.

You can buy it on steam, or could anyway. I read the mission statement and felt it was an important project to help fund even if it doesn't work the best for me individually. I hope it becomes a serious contender to photoshop soon.

Bumping this thread to spread the word. If anyone's having trouble with Krita running through steam if you sleect "Desktop 2.9" it should cure what ails you.

Like this, in case you were wondering.
>right click program>click properties>click "betas" tab>select Desktop 2.9
If you just have the (free) desktop version now's a good time to get on the Krita hype train. It really is a fantastic free program as long as your computer has some modicum of balls.
