First I’d like to say thanks for making Krita. It's a great application and I’ve used it almost exclusively for a few months now for my digital sketches/doodling. I have two custom brushes that I’d like to improve a bit:



For sketching brush I tweaked the tilt sketch brush preset that comes bundled and use another texture and changed some curves. (1.) I think it looks pretty good as it is now but would be even better if the brush shape became rounder as the tilt angle gets closer to 90°(holding the pen straight up).

(2.) Second I have an simple round tip smudge brush with dulling smudge mode. It can feel a bit muddy sometimes and I therefore made a version with ”soft mask” brush tip with darker edges to get an sharper feel. (3.) The problem is that it looses sharpness on smaller sizes and gets a bit heavy edge when bigger and therefore only works as intended in a small size span.


Are there any brush features in Krita that I’ve missed that could fix these things?

1. Can't be helped. There's no ratio modifier yet.

2/3. Not possible either, the softness is proportional, and thus scales with size. It's why I usually make several brushes for different sizes.

I guess you could make wishbugs for these, if you'd like, we'll remember them then. (At bugs.kde.org under the product Krita)

Thanks for the reply I've filed them wishbugs.
I guess using multiple preset will work although it feels a bit unintuitive.

Also I got a little creative and made a brush with round brush tip that scatters at Y axis with pen tilt. (not perfect but an improvement maybe)

(I usually work at 50% zoom and lowering the flow will make the brush texture harder looking)
