Grass Under the Tree Background

This background will be for a RE:do of an old painting I was unsatisfied with. Background still needs some work but the main idea is now there.

Sunset Beach Background Krita

I guess I had lost the brush that I remembered trying out weeks ago. This one isn’t lagging like the other smeary brush. I ended up editing the brush a bit and removed the texture it was using. I’ll be modifying it as I use it throughout the year. Next test is when I paint the main subject.

Krita Test 3

Another test using Krita, this time with color again. There’s this blending brush that I downloaded that works really well. Just a shame I can’t do it all with just one brush. But I guess if I just add the brushes I use to my favorites it shouldn’t take that much longer than with Corel Painter. The current smeary brushes don’t quite act like I want though, plus it stutters when I paint in the usual large canvas of 9,000px.

Some brushes act like I would expect and others either don’t or lag at the size I need it. Luckily I can make my own brushes so it will take some time to adjust to my style.

Spring Garden of the Gods

I’m currently trying to learn how to use Krita. This painting was done with nothing but the default brushes. None of them worked like the one’s in Corel Painter so it felt a bit uncomfortable. Luckily, I recently found brushes that work with my style.

Porco Rosso Posters Background

It was only from one scene but it really marked the themes of the movie. It was fun trying to remake a section of the sidewalk with the posters.

Raining Ginza crosswalk Background

I was wondering what the background would be for one of the next paintings. Luckily there are those walking in the rain videos that gave me plenty of locations and reference materials to choose from. In the end I chose this crosswalk in Ginza. The street reflections were something I was worried about, but after trying it out a number of ways it all started to work out. Some of the proportions weren’t really working out once I started to compare it to the subject of this painting but it was something I could fix as I went along.
