![]() ![]() I’m using my own inking brush here that I made like 5, 10 years ago. Our ‘control group’? (Though, iirc, control group is when you explicitly do nothing to the base :D, maybe not really applicable…) The result tends towards the somewhat stiff but technically sound side of drawing things. This is a technique I tend to use if I am unsure about what I am drawing. The sketch was made by taking the basic-opacity brush, drawing a basic pose, then using the adjustment curves to quarter the alpha, then halving the brush size and refining the sketch, rinse and repeat. Time lapse of the sketch made using the recorder docker. Furthermore, I’ll talk a bit about other solutions I’ve seen as well as Krita’s existing calligraphy tool. I will note the good and bad qualities of each. To do this, I have used the following sketch and inked it with Krita’s raster tools, Inkscape’s Power stroke and Blender’s Grease Pencil. There’s many different ways to approach such lines, and I’m writing this blog post as a study of the different types, problems and what kind of needs we’d have to fulfill if we want it to be on par with raster inking. Strokes that always taper at the beginning and end are another example of something beginners ask for (because they do not have a tablet or the motor skills to taper), but I feel equally uncomfortable about this, as inking without a tablet is a recipe for RSI. Usually beginners also really like the idea of editable vector lines because then they can ‘always fix their mistakes’, and I am wary of this as it is a perfectionism pitfall. Animation, similarly, seems to still per-frame line work as the interpolation tech for vector lines does not solve all use cases.
