I decided to do a test by coloring a picture of a cartoon. This process has been fairly simple with customizable color palettes. What were once three hours now is done in one hour with Krita.

Comparison with Mypaint.

For the editing job, the graphics have been used for some time in Mypaint.
This is a free code that displays characteristics closely resembling the Krita. Their brushes personalization engines are quite complete. But it is a bit more complicated to configure them. because the colors of gears are more efficient and complete used by Krita.
Another aspect that I like most about Krita is the speed and ease with which you learn to use it. This is atracativo for new users.
Ultimately, Krita is more complete and less complicated, this is my gratitude.

When it comes to customization, Krita is the winner compared to other programs that I have used. Many tools make it very complete, but it is easy to use and very customizable. All this makes it a wise choice.
