In the first installment of her series on using the free art program Krita, Sara Tepes shows how she tidies up her imported pencil sketches…
Krita is an extensive free digital painting program that can achieve professional painting and editing results. The interface is sleek and easy to use, making this platform a logical choice for users who want to jump into painting unencumbered by some of the superfluous features found in other painting programs.
This workshop will be simple for any user to follow, whether beginner or expert in Krita. Using only three adjustment layers and one brush, you can achieve a professional and clean edited version of your scanned sketches and drawings.
Begin with opening up a scanned image into Krita. For your scan settings, it’s important to scan at 150dpi at the very least. This is what monitors use for displaying images. For print, scan at 300 or 600dpi. The former is sufficient, but I always scan at 600dpi to ensure I capture every detail, especially since my drawings are usually on the smaller side.
