Sep 12,2021 -- Almost Al Fresco Art Club Day with Krita

Krita, Pencil 6 (Quick Shade)

Though the Al Fresco Art Club is still on hiatus, it’s still in my thoughts as each Sunday rolls around. Each week I feel that we’re a little closer to getting organized enough — and feeling relaxed enough — to turn out attention away from our pressing responsibilities and start taking an hour a week to meet up and draw.

Today I drew for the first time in weeks. I used Krita’s quick shade pencil so that I could only lay down fuzzy marks. I then erased where I wanted to carve out a feature. One of my favorite Krita features is that the brush toggles to an eraser when you press the “E” key. You erase with the same texture that you paint with.. Clip Studio Paint also has this feature mapped to the “C” key.
