Media & creativity / OPEN-SOURCE PROJECT GUIDE
Krita
A blank canvas. An open invitation.
A digital painting studio for illustrations, concept art, comics, and 2D animation.
Why it matters
Gives digital artists a painting-focused tool shaped by an open-source community.
The honest heads-up
Krita focuses on painting, not replacing every photo-editing or publishing workflow. Check drawing-tablet support on your system.
Your first small step
Install it and explore brushes with a drawing tablet or mouse.
