  • Regarding the interface: Krita is heavily designed to match artist workflow around the world. Here’s the complexity:

    Different region, ages, and level of professionality have entirely different of common/standard app.

    A lot of comic artist or illustrator that delves in anime/manga/ACG style in Asia use Clip Studio Paint as their main software. People from Western gaming industry often used Photoshop or Procreate. Teenager in Asia often use ibisPaint. PaintToolSAI for lightweight and customizable interface. There’s Rebelle for replicating traditional realistic painting.

    Krita tried to cater to all of these people, not just “Photoshop users” that mostly just for image editing.












  • You would be surprised that numbers of FOSS project from East Asia not having updated information/license/documentation in English.

    Especially Japanese one, it’s one of the hardest language that even if people had a middle level certification like JLPT N3, they might still not be able to translate formal document properly.

    On other hand, FOSS project from Southeast Asia or South Asia always keeps their English documentation/license/info up to date.
