True i havent tried them all. Ocassionaly somebody around has some wierd brand and it has never been really good. But it might just be certain feeling wacoms have that is something acquired and might not mean it's better.

It's possibly it's something the Wacom drivers is doing (smoothing, etc). There's a game called osu! where lots of people play with graphics tablets, and a lot of people use cheaper chinese (Gaomon) tablets, with open source drivers that let you emulate the smoothing of Wacom drivers. https://github.com/hawku/TabletDriver

Super interesting never heard of this. I thought its software because hardware could be copied. Also the big difference are usually other things than movement/pointing its pressure and tilt where Wacom is pretty great.

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.

Clip Studio Paint and Affinity are also well-regarded, though not FOSS. CSP in particular has great support and advanced tools like posable maquettes and perspective rulers.

While we (Krita) don't have 3D support yet, but we do have perspective and other kinds of rulers (assistants) support. There are lots of other features too like wrap around mode for seamless tile creation etc.

Aw, it does not work well on mobile phones, because the dialogues are cropped and unscrollable. I am going to keep an eye on it though, some apps like sketchbook are somewhat working but they are limited. Having krita equivalent for the phone would be awesome.

They say up front that this release is not appropriate for mobile phones.

People really should give Krita a go if they want escape the Adobe bubble. I was really impressed with it for drawing over GIMP.

To be fair, GIMP considers itself also an image processing software, not (or only partially) a painting program. At least, it emphasizes this aspect and it shows (yes it mentions also artistic usage).

I'm using it this way as a tool (being a software writer in this industry), but the tasks belonging to it and those for Krita have a virtually empty intersection.

In the last 6 to 9 months I have been learning Drawing (Pen/Paper), Digital paining (Krita) and 3D modeling (Blender) in my free time.

I must say, I had to try very hard to not explore Photoshop and other 3D tools, It wasn't easy when I see most professionals using Photoshop, 3DS, Maya, etc. From time to time i get frustrated with low quality Youtube's tutorials, numerous times I had to remind myself to have patience, and stick with Krita & Blender.

Now I in love with Blender, and getting used to like Krita with Wacom table.

Congrats Krita team for Android tablet release!

I bought a pen tablet with screen recently, the Gaimon PD1161. Incredibly cheap compared to the Wacom Cintiq, and it works great with Krita (on Windows). My girlfriend uses it all the time now: https://www.youtube.com/user/PapillonMarianne/videos

Rebelle is also quite nice. They even have an HSLuv based color picker. Super underrated software only a handful of digital painting pros know about ;)
