Krita
A free painting studio with a serious brush engine.
Krita is open-source painting software with brushes, animation tools, and color management that punch far above $0.
It is rougher around the edges than Clip Studio. Zero cost to find out if it fits your art.
Why it's here
- Excellent free brush engine
- Animation and painting tools included
- Open source and actively developed
- Less polished than paid art suites — incredible value
