If we want to choose a different brush from the one assigned to the “W” key, we can do so by selecting it from the brush palette, or by assigning it to another shortcut in the Ten Brushes, until we hit the brush count limit. However, the Ten Brushes script has a limitation.
Krita also ships with a useful script called “Ten Brushes”, which allows the association of ten custom shortcuts to ten arbitrary brushes. Krita ships with a set of preset brushes that allow this. For this reason, we can just use a different brush in the palette, specifically set up for the purpose of erasing. This is not always desirable, since painting brushes often use specific settings to achieve a style and texture, while we may want a more simplified brush for erasing (usually a circular brush with a falloff). This will happen while maintaining the same brush radius, textures, etc. Two ways to eraseįor example, while we are using a brush to paint, we can press “E” to toggle “erase mode” in the brush settings and the brush will start erasing instead of painting.
These actions can be accessed through the brush palette or via pie menus.
While Krita is a powerful digital painting application, its reliance on “ Brush engines” defines a different way to perform “paint”, “erase” or “smudge”. For example, pressing the W key will switch to the brush tool, the E key will toggle the eraser tool, R will toggle the smudge tool. This is possible in softwares like GIMP or other commercial software by invoking specific shortcuts. A core part of Vivien’s workflow consists of using the “paint”, “erase” and “smudge” tools in rapid sequence.
