Krita is a professional-quality digital art, painting and animation software that is completely FREE, open source, and cross-platform. Krita rivals other commercial professional digital painting software, such Photoshop and Painter (each of which can cost hundreds of dollars). Yet Krita's features and stability make it their equal, but at no cost!
With Krita, you can confidently tackle any digital painting/art project, be it fine art, concept and game design art, animation and more. It contains a host of features and capabilities, an astoundingly powerful brush development capability that is extended by the ability to add on brush-sets, and also supports many makes of digital drawing tablets and screens by companies such as Wacom. With such powerful features, professional artists, designers, and animators regularly use Krita as part of their work processes. Yet, because Krita is also FREE and open source, it is a wonderful tool that can be relied upon for art instruction and recommended to budget-conscious students for art projects and assignments that require their use of professional-quality digital art software.
Krita's development is supported by a very large, loyal, and worldwide community of users and crowd-funders. As a result, the software is very stable, well-documented, and well-maintained for all major computer operating systems. Krita can be downloaded freely without the need to register for anything.
