![]() The colors are hardcoded, might look awkward in some themes. ![]() This a fixed tool box, can't be edited unless something is changed in the code.This tool box doesn't actually syncs with the original toolbox so, if you try to use the both at the same time, beware.If you want to try the plugin out, do grab it from here. Triangle.lineTo(rect.bottomRight() + QPoint(-5, 0)) Triangle.lineTo(rect.bottomRight() + QPoint(0, -5)) Painter.drawPixmap(newRect, icon.pixmap(newRect.size())) class Tool:Ĭolor = highlightColor if self.isActivated or self.highlighted else backColor Though it also does some drawing of its own, by borrowing the QPainter from either ToolBox or Popup classes. The Tool class is just a container to hold data related to the tool and it's sub-tools. Self.drawTools(painter, event.rect().topLeft() + QPoint(10, 5)) Also I take control of the mouse events too along with the drawing. The tool box is a QWidget whose paintEvent was overridden and same is for the popup. The code is, I would say rather simple if you are familiar with Qt. And thanks to this vscode extension, I got something usable up in a few minutes of first poking into that. On the first look at the API, it looked rather simple exposing a set of higher level functions to Python. And me being not the best developer in Python tried to stay away from it for sometime, but curiosity got me at last. People were trying to hack something similar to that in Krita, but more or less nobody was exactly sure how to proceed, or if it could be done with the current plugin API or not. In the flow of conversation, my proof of concept got mentioned and that was enough to ignite others with different ideas. That was until, a couple months ago, people started discussion about improving Krita's current UI in Krita Artists. Surprisingly that thing got some traction on hackernews for a day and died off, me too also left that as an one hit wonder. And I went on to recreate that on Qt, which I did by midnight with some spaghetti code. The new UI though threw me off for a bit was pretty, looked similar to the other cool apps in the town. In my opinion, learning how the Krita brush engines work is the smartest thing to do.This time is not just a standalone mockup or a proof of concept, it is a real working toolbox right inside Krita.Ī bit of background, so last November, gave the new Blender 2.8 a shot one morning. The only catch is that Krita imports the Photoshop brush files just as brush tips without the other settings, so for most Photoshop brushes you will need to adjust the brush settings to make them work properly. There you have it, a veritable treasure hoard of downloadable brushes for Krita, and even some explanation of how to use Krita's built-in brush engines.įor those who still aren't satiated, Krita also supports Photoshop brushes! I find it's the default brush is best for an ink aesthetic, but by playing with the brush settings you can make some great oil and acrylic brushes! In the brush settings, you define the area with "bristles" in it, and the size and rotation settings affect the whole brush tip, not the individual "bristles". The bristle brush engine aims to replicate how a real life brush would work. If you want your paintings to feel like traditional inks, or oil or acrylic paintings, try out the Krita's bristle brush engine. This is a little bit about each of them and how they work. Krita currently includes 15 brush engines. ![]() Perhaps you'll be able to make brushes even better than the ones you've downloaded! Try out playing with the settings of the brush engines and see what you can make on your own - the possibilities are incredible. I wanted to showcase a little bit about the brush engines that are included in Krita, what they can do and how they differ from each other.

While it's always fun to download and try out brushes made by other artists, Krita actually has amazing brush tools built-in. ![]()
