I take back my earlier gripes about version 2.9, krita now has proper support for eyedropper + wacom side switch (penabled). you can set it to use left button + alt in the configure krita section, under tool invocation (or alternate invocation?)

also it does feel much faster and you can actually use some big brushes across the canvas, although some brushes (bristles in particular it seems) are still slow.

oh yeah let’s just draw skulls skulls and more skulls.

ugly drawings drawn way zoomed out cuz. it’s more about remembering landmarks, names and and locations (so rusty)

idk doodling dragon age again haha. this is a krita test. it seems to have improved the brush speed somewhat, but some are still pretty much unusable past 30px

haven’t drawn anything for ‘fun’ since last year! combatting stress by fanarting

WIP, the full thing is giving me a headache

yeah struggles 

 it was better before I added in too much I think. should've kept it more abstract in the background. 

 anyway, I found this really useful for de-rusting (since apparently I have a mudmaking problem) and now my colours are finally starting to swing a bit more towards 'less muddy'! 

 http://www.dgallup.com/mixing-luminous-gray.html I highly recommend watching the video (it's on the right side of the page, rather missable) or it won't make any sense. 

I took some snaps of my palette -- need to premix the values for those batches of colour before I paint an area so they don't become all muddy (my goal is to try and get the colours right before attempting to tweak fix them). 

even on the palette I do end up with more interesting colours! before, I had patches of mud...
