You can setup the width of the line that is used as connection between the points of the stroke. Line width is new feature compared to Harmony. The main options for the brush are in Brush size option dialog. On the other hand checking the points in this simple mode in the circle is quite fast no matter of the size. What is the performance problem here? Maybe you need some big circle and rasterization of that circle as brush mask is quite slow. For the size of the circle, the size of the brush tip you choose in Brush tip is used. Anyway you can create more effects compared to the Harmony version.įor performance reasons you will find in Brush size dialog checkbox called Simple mode, which means that again circle area will be used if check.
I don’t how much is this usable, but at least I found ellipse quite useful compared to circle. In Krita it can be any brush tip (ellipse, flower, chain). In original Harmony project, the area is just circle with fixed size, that detects the points. So you can change the size of brush easily.
I explored the code and came up with names for the parameters, which influence the stroke of the brush. You can create new brushes, because I adopted all five brushes from Harmony as one big brush engine with parameters. The adoption has some advantages like undo/redo and some different and new features and one drawback. Painted by software developer, with Sketch in Krita It was already used by artists, especially by Animtim in his first comic page in Krita and also in previous art. Then I adopted the Harmony version in Krita. The concept was realized first in Scribbler and Harmony was inspired. The idea for those brushes comes from concept of connecting neighbour points. Especially Sketchy, Shaded, Chrome, Fur and Long Fur. Few months ago I discovered project Harmony and I liked the brushes there. So when I find some new interesting brush, that might be usable, I’m trying to adopt it in Krita as a new brush engine. I did a thesis about brush painting and I still enjoy this topic.
Besides my sponsored work on Krita, I work in my spare time (if I find some) on some new features.
