The bristle brush engine aims to replicate how a real life brush would work. If you want your paintings to feel like traditional inks, or oil or acrylic paintings, try out the Krita's bristle brush engine. This is a little bit about each of them and how they work. Krita currently includes 15 brush engines. Perhaps you'll be able to make brushes even better than the ones you've downloaded! Try out playing with the settings of the brush engines and see what you can make on your own - the possibilities are incredible. I wanted to showcase a little bit about the brush engines that are included in Krita, what they can do and how they differ from each other.

Adjust settings and use Save New Brush Preset.While it's always fun to download and try out brushes made by other artists, Krita actually has amazing brush tools built-in. There is some information on saving brushes here: - if you create a tutorial how to create a brush like that, it would be awesome to include it in the official Manual (it is written mostly by volunteers such as you).īasically if you want to create a new brush, you just need to use this create brush button (choose “Pixel”, this is the default engine), then go to Brush Tip -> Predefined and choose the brush tip that you just imported. And the user would have to just adjust settings to their taste and rename nicely (or, do you want to create them based on brush preset X). That would be good to have, yeah It would be even better if importing a lot of brush tips would have some kind of “do you want to create basic Pixel engine brushes for all of the brush tips?”.

So we need to basically guess what those files contain. abr would be open source (meaning nobody else would have to pay Adobe to know the format, they could read it from Krita code), and Adobe wouldn’t agree to this. I’m sorry, but - we cannot buy the file format from Adobe from two reasons: (1) it would be insanely expensive, (2) Krita is open source, which means the code reading. A lot of Krita settings are not available in Photoshop, some of the Photoshop ones are not available in Krita, some you can adjust to make it look like in Photoshop using different settings than Photoshop uses. You’ll have to recreate those brushes in Krita, using Krita’s settings. abr file, Krita loads them as brush tips. Hence, since the brush tip is the only thing Krita can read from. Moreover Photoshop’s and Krita’s settings for the brush presets differ. Photoshop saves their brushes in a secret format - we can get the base image out (which is the brush tip), but settings are not possible to understand. Unfortunately, brushes in general are not really importable between different kinds of programs.
