He’s been publishing a brush kit for years and the most recent version is v8.2(updated frequently).ĭavid updates this brush kit fairly often with new features, brush descriptions, icons, and new features/bug fixes. He contributes quite a bit to the project and he’s one of the few artists running all FOSS. Krita Brushkit v8.2Īrtist David Revoy is well known in the Krita community. Whether you’re a Krita pro or someone who’s just learning the software these brushes will improve your digital art workflow tenfold. This list includes my top picks for the best free Krita brush packs. However there are some incredible sets online and they’re all 100% free.

In my opinion Krita is the best free Photoshop alternative out there with many of the same features: layering, blend modes, and custom brushes(among others).

If you use a lot of brush sets, then something I have been doing for years now, is to rename the sets so they list in alphabetical order with meaningful names. It is so easy to move presets between folders now, it makes sense to build yourself a favourites folder or two. It took me longer than it should have to discover that simply holding down the Ctrl (Cmd) key when selecting one of those presets, will prevent it changing to another tool. So you are using the brush tool and like the look of the presets I have highlighted, and you suddenly find yourself with the Smudge tool or Mixer brush. One of the things that has caused a lot of trouble is that CC2018 can now store tool presets inside the brush presets panel. Sandra, the new brush set up is so confusing regards the different brush sets / folders, that what I have done is remove every single set from CC2018, and start again with the legacy sets.
