Just installed this on my Galaxy tab. It still has some rough edges, but it is miles ahead of all the drawing adware I had used so far.
Oh and, thank you Krita developers: it actually feels like a desktop app (as in: you can load and save files, and there's an actual "exit" button").

Actual pros replace them with cintiq or similar and are always larger than A4. I've never seen a full time designer move down size, because you lose fidelity at the same zoom level and are constantly fiddling with zoom which is a source of major frustration
Of course you want cintiq as big as possible but not tablet. With A4 you get to a point where you have to move a lot around the table with hand in front of you while you are looking straight at your screen its just akward. You dont have space for keyboard etc.
Using a large tablet is like using a mouse with the sensitivity turned down. It quickly becomes frustrating having to move your arm around so much to manage the interface, especially when you don't have a direct connection between what you're looking at and touching.
The difference is why someone might use a steno pad or moleskin journal rather than a full-size legal pad.
Fantastic news. Just installed this on my Galaxy tab. It still has some rough edges, but it is miles ahead of all the drawing adware I had used so far.

Developer mode has never been required on Android. App sources are managed by regular settings (Android 8+). Before that, there was a single switch for all non-Play-Store sources. 1. User downloads an .apk using a browser 2. User tries to open it 3. Android prompts the user to allow the browser as a trusted source 4. User agrees by flipping a switch 5. Installation resumes 6. User enjoys the app https://developer.and…
You forgot, and the users probably will forget too, to flip the switch back so that the browser is no longer a trusted source. That is, you've now increased the chance of malware being accidentally installed through the browser, since AFAIK Android will not prompt again until the switch is flipped back to "not allowed".

People really should give Krita a go if they want escape the Adobe bubble. I was really impressed with it for drawing over GIMP.
I completely agree with you on this. I was considering GIMP as the only relevant substitute for Adobe until I've played a bit with Krita. Really amazing piece of work.
>Unlike the Windows and Steam store, we don’t ask for money for Krita in the store, since it’s the only way people can install Krita on those devices, but you can buy a supporter badge from within Krita to support development. I wish more free software projects would do that. You can download Krita for free but if you want to support the project you can buy it from Steam or Windows Store.
Not a support forum here - but does someone know, if there are ways to resize UI fonts for the Windows Krita application without touching the Windows setting for the whole monitor? The only way still working for me is an arcane - in fact deprecated for a long time - Qt environment variable (QT_DEVICE_PIXEL_RATIO), that makes a difference for at least a portable Krita installation.

You are thinking of iOS. On Android using a different store or sideload is easy.
Not for chromebooks, unfortunately

I wish more parents bought their kids drawing tablets. Kids try out all kinds of things, but it's hard to try out something that you don't have the equipment for. Sure, drawing on paper is a possibility, but it's not quite the same thing as digital art that tends to be much easier to share and get feedback on.
I am constantly amazed at what they are able to do with it. I was just a minute ago explaining to my younger daughter the concept of layers and the first thing she did with it was to separate an object to which she wanted to apply a special filter. Without even thinking about it.
Layers are a great example of how simple tools can act as a multiplier for creativity and inspiration.
