August 29, 2021 -- Almost Al Fresco Art Challenge Day

View fullsize

Were it not for life threatening air pollution, the Alfresco Art Club might have actually gone outside today. Instead we decided to relax and have some fun. My idea of fun was to try to install Linux on one of the eight hard drives in my system, but that became boring after a while and I decided to learn more about Krita.

One of the problems with Krita is that it pretty much ignores Photoshop keyboard commands. What’s with using the Ctl key to select colors? Every other drawing program in the universe uses the Alt key.This annoys me. I suppose that giving the BIg Giant the cold shoulder might be satisfying in some way, but if Krita had a smoother learning curve, it would have more users. Despite the little things I find annoying, it’s Krita is awesome in many ways.

Sophie Campbell is one of my favorite artists. Besides Wet Moon, she draws the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
