For example, all PSD blocks end with 8BIM (which is either 34 42 49 4D or 4D 49 42 34 depending on the computer it was saved with), so maybe something like ABR has the same thing going on. This involves comparing a whole lot of files, and then sorta seeing where they differ and trying to guess from the patterns whether you are looking at a color, or a curve or a toggle. With an undocumented binary format, like ABR, it gets even harder, because you then need to reverse engineer it. In my opinion, learning how the Krita brush engines work is the smartest thing to do.When we program in support for a feature in a binary format like PSD, we need to look at the existing documentation to start with, then we also need a whole bunch of test files to check against, because the PSD documentation is filled with flaws and errors. The only catch is that Krita imports the Photoshop brush files just as brush tips without the other settings, so for most Photoshop brushes you will need to adjust the brush settings to make them work properly. There you have it, a veritable treasure hoard of downloadable brushes for Krita, and even some explanation of how to use Krita's built-in brush engines.įor those who still aren't satiated, Krita also supports Photoshop brushes! I find it's the default brush is best for an ink aesthetic, but by playing with the brush settings you can make some great oil and acrylic brushes! In the brush settings, you define the area with "bristles" in it, and the size and rotation settings affect the whole brush tip, not the individual "bristles".
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.

While it's always fun to download and try out brushes made by other artists, Krita actually has amazing brush tools built-in.
