Dear theOtaku friends, I want to share with you all this amazing free art program called Krita. I've only recently discovered it but I love it already. Here's a link to the official site where you can download it for free. Here's some reasons why I love this program so much:
1. Amazing brush set. It has a lot of different brushes and brush textures.
2. Color blending is pretty easy.
3. Great set of tools for just art.
4. Easy interface
5. Able to save in a lot of different formats
Here is a description quote that describes the program better than I could do: "Krita is an open source painting and drawing program, previously a part of KOffice bundle now available as a separate program. It is packed with rich tools like artistic text, calligraphy, fill and gradient, various shapes, outline, fill, zoom pan, layer management, channel management, undo, scripts etc. It supports various filters such as kaleidoscope, stereographic projection, phong bumpmap, sobel, edge detection, sectorize, roundify, hipno, tunnel, random pick, HSV adjustment, etc. Also, it supports various file formats like .kra, EXR, OpenRaster document, PSD image, Gimp image, PPM, PGM, PBM, PNG, JPEG-2000, PDF, ODG draw, BMP Windows, XPM, GIF, XBM, Krita Flipbook, Adobe DNG negative and Camera RAW. And it is capable of saving output to .kra, OpenRaster document, PSD image, PPM, PGM, PBM, PNG, JPEG-2000, JPEG, BMP Windows, XBM, TIFF, EXR and even PDF. Krita is available for Windows vista and up, and various Linux distributions. The main con in Krita is its big download size about 115 MB."
