The brushes have a unique blend formula that enables quick and accurate blending. This software also has a lot of settings and profiles for the advanced and casual painting and retouching.
Krita has many different types of textures including paintings, tattoos, watercolors, and acrylic paints. In addition, the Krita texture tool lets you sculpt or paint with various kinds of textures. You can blend painting styles using masking techniques using four masking layers. The masks can be created using a variety of materials such as leather, sponge, cloth and paper.
One of the more advanced features in Krita is the Color Noise generator. This generator creates and modify any image, so that you get an infinite number of unique color combinations each time. For instance, if you use the Noise generator to create a smokey eye effect, you will end up with one thousand and twenty different possible color combinations. Another advanced feature is the adjustability of hue, saturation and brightness. The hue and brightness adjuster tool allows you to alter the saturation of a color on the canvas.
First of all SketchBook has a comprehensive library of brushes, which allows you to select the ones you need. Also the sketching engine allows for unlimited layers, undo functionality, and a unique tool bar for tips and tutorials. The software also allows you to open files in several different formats such as PDF, TIFF, EPS and BMP.
Now with SketchBook you are also able to export images directly from your device to the Sketchbook iPad's photo gallery. This feature was available in the previous version but was not featured to iPad users. You no longer need to use an external Wi-Fi connection for your sketches as the software will connect to your iPad using its tap-to-click interface on the Wi-Fi settings. This feature will allow you to send your sketches directly from your iPad to people you care about without the risk of your iPad getting lost or damaged.
You can add as many extensions and plugins as you want to bring along with you. This way you will be able to quickly access the tools you need such as drawing light, applying highlights, modifying brushes, adjusting colors and more, all without ever leaving the comfort of your couch.
