#KRITA REVIEW SOFTWARE#
Making a book on software for artists look like it’s actually done for artists is how things are supposed to go. If you’ve read books on free software for designers and photographers before, you know that typically illustrations are from the ‘meh’ department at best.
#KRITA REVIEW PRO#
Nearly every feature is explained by how you can apply the concept in a practical manner.Īnother major pro is that Scott used (with permission) other artists’ artworks to illustrate the book, along with his own illustrations which are very nicely done. Instead Scott focused on teaching actual skills.

Even the chapter on installation is rather quick and non-verbose (and rightfully so). Don’t expect to find blending mode equations or explanations of app’s internals. That said, given the author’s background, the book is surprisingly not technical. I hope it will help people see how great open source software can be. Something that will make a big impact on Krita’s future and how the graphics community sees it. I do believe there is a need for this type of material. Scott got half of the Krita team to become his technical editors, and he’s giving back by promoting the software through the book and sharing a slice of whatever income it will bring with Krita Foundation. Typically publishers hire technical editors to make this possible. There was simply no single inaccurate statement in the book that I could detect. Scott is also the reason why Krita is now featuring in the ImagineFX magazine since early this year.īeing that much involved with the project tends to make a huge impact on the accuracy of the content.

Lately I’ve been noticing a lot of excitement about Linux being a success, because it’s on your phones/tablets and on the servers that run your favorite websites and services.
#KRITA REVIEW MANUALS#
Some of them have to do with the author’s persona, and others - with how this book looks in the general context of manuals on free software for creative professionals. The reasons I’m personally very excited about this book go beyond the actual content in question. If you are new to digital painting, installing and using Krita is free forever, and the newly published book by Scott Petrovic will get you started in no time.
