I'm in that same stage right now , having wobbly lines , recently shifted to digital from pen and paper

Good to know! I'm curious if demos exists of good inking with the Dyna Brush tool. I'll take a look.

same here

Perfect!

Glad it was helpful! About the canvas, nowadays, I often use 4K 3840x2160px landscape ; it scale perfectly to most online websites having a 16:9 ratio. My webcomics page are about the same size in width, but extended in vertical to match the vertical ratio, big colored book format, pages in 450ppi.

Hey, I think it is a good idea to keep it as a legacy option because I saw streamer preferring to use the weighted option because it was better setup out of the box and "stabilization" with the delay option was like a "no go". Also, I'm realizing many users use the Dynamic Brush Tool to stabilize; it's easier to discover in the toolbox on a first run. But if Krita was my own software only and I had to cleanup the thing, I would do that: keep only stabilizer/basic/off behind a single slider with easier values , put Delay Off by default. Make 20 positions for various sample counts on a slider or drop down in the same vein as Paint Tool SAI, and put that by default on the top toolbar. (0, 1 (basic), 2, 3 .... 20). But I'm a bit extreme , I know 🤓

The most common use case is for inking comic/anime ink lines: it can help in getting the thin lines smooth and dynamic and reduce little shakiness. It also helps in general very low quality pointing devices or tablet with noisy or badly shielded detection of events and coordinate. On my side, because I often paint more than I draw on computer, I use it with the final long brush strokes with "rigger" type of brush, but because my style starts to get more and more fragmented into many dirty brush strokes and I like to show them as raw as I can, I rarely use it.

Thank you. The default is "Basic" , in Basic mode Krita trim a bit the events in case your tablet gives too many inputs and smooth the coordinates for an optimal line. In "None" it's directly the coordinate of the tablet (for the best or the worst).

Oh yes, for sure, there are a lot of overlaps and duplicate in the "what tool can solve what problems?" Krita's list of feature 😃 I was never a big fan of Dynamic Brush (never used it for anything in 14 years of Krita, to be honest), but good to hear it is used!

Hey, the dynamic brush dynabrush is mostly an engine around weighted and 'gravity' point. The stabilisation is more a method of smoothing input coordinate. Yes, stabilisation is global to the "type of tracing". In Krita their is no "Brush tool", it's a freehand tracing tool with a brush icon. And eraser in freehand tracing mode is similar to the brush. That's a deep architectural issue of Krita since more than a decade; one that favor painting workflow over drawing workflow.

I can try, but I never used this one in 14 years of Krita because the controls with the drag is really like having a truck at the tip of my stylus 😆 , I'll probably put this one in the category of "here for mouse user or for legacy reason". 😃 But because of this, I might be totally biaised, I'll look, maybe the tools received dev and update I haven't noticed that make it worth using it now.

Alors cet outil agit avec un centre de gravité et orbite autour si je me souviens (je ne l'utilise jamais, une vieillerie de version de Krita qui a plus de 15 ans et est resté là, car à l'époque les dev acceptait beaucoup de "pourquoi pas" sans avoir encore même une idée de ligne éditoriale ou de cible utilisateur ou utilisatrice). C'est un outil assez difficile à utiliser et je n'ai jamais trouvé d'application pratique. Le stabiliser, quant à lui, est plutôt sur un lissage de chemin.

Yes... Unfortunately. Same limitation right now for every artist on GNU/Linux. I'm writing an aticle right now on the topic.

I think you have to explicitly set Krita in the setting to not use graphic card; but I haven't played with this option since a long long time. Last time probably was around 2016 when I had a laptop with a very bad intel GPU and turning all to CPU only was to my advantage for performances. It's a checkbox in Display tab afair.

Good question. Coloring line art scanned with a mouse is totally possible (I probably spent more than 3 years when I started digital with a mouse and Ps 5.5 on Windows 98). The mouse feels a bit like a spray can (the one for graffiti). A bit of smoothing on the line can probably help a bit. I can't hurt, that's sure.

The main problem about painting with a mouse is the lack of pressure sensitivity. A mouse can be very precise even without a stabilizer, but you'll always lack control over the line dynamics and opacity. Btw the pioneers of digital painting did indeed paint with a mouse, and have been doing this for about a decade until the graphic tablets became affordable.

Oh yes, it's a known bug reported in 2022: the Mypaint brush engine has its own stabilizer in the options and its not compatible with the built in Krita stabilizer. The bug is here: bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=452811 , add your voice to it if you can.

Sure! what do you want to know?

@@DavidRevoy yeah ok…so the brush I use before didn’t work they act like basic brush and try to use other brush,but they all act basic so I was just wonder if you know how to fix it

@@Mia-od6bs I'm not sure what "acting basic" mean exactly here, but if I try to guess, I understand "no pressure input" from the tablet, and so, working "basic" like a mouse would do (no size variation, or no opacity variation). If it is this case, check your tablet driver and be sure to use the latest probided by your brand for the last update of your operating system. Also, the latest Krita version. Aligning all of this and a reboot can already clean up the situation and see if the hardware works as intended. I also don't know your system, but if you are on Linux, test also the appimage version provided by krita.org within an X11 session. (Krita is not ready for Wayland).

@@DavidRevoy thank you for your help

Hey, check your docker, it's in the "tool option", also, you must have the brush selected to see it.

@@DavidRevoy Thanks, I found it

Tablet friendly is part of the road map!

Nah, the default of "Stabilizer" were ruined by someone who added "Delay" feature to the panel and succeed at imposing it to be activated by default. It spoiled the perception of stabilizer for many artists. Delay is an option of tracing that was for mouse like 3D software (Zbrush, then Blender). So, the reflex of any user after that was to boycott it once discovering it with the Delay option because it feels wrong out of the box (I saw two live-streaming of Krita artists, they went "nope" after putting "stabilization" on) while the "weighted" has better default that feels more made for inking/drawing. But Stabilizer is more accurate and was written to match other software stabilization (Csp/SAI). It's better in line smoothing, in finishing lines, and so in predictability. It needs just the good sample count value :) I inked many comic pages with it, and was around when both features were developed. (edit: but I'm open to feedabck from dev about it, I can be wrong and I accumulated probably many biased ideas and inacurate dev-storys with time, deformed by my memory or part of me who simplify things to store souvenirs more efficiently)

@@DavidRevoy I never noticed this check box next to delay with my dark theme. this was invisible to me if I was not looking for it because of what you said now. It does feel like SAI and such not sure why this is so hidden but the behaviour is almost like entirely different method. Thanks for point it out for me.
