I decided to try out Krita properly on my Win7/LKDE Mine dual boot PC, by drawing something I like with it. I love Full Full Metal Alchemist, The Brotherhood, which I'm currently watching. Lots of dark events and things mixed up with the light. So anyway I thought I'd draw Edward and Alphonse Elric, and their mechanic Winry Rockbell. The poses (including Alphonese's) are based on photo reference, and I used animation guides (which can also be found on the net) for the colours and details on their outfits. I've set them near the ridge of a hill just before sunset, with Ed trying to figure out what to do next .

I learnt a lot about Krita creating this. It seems a capable drawing and editing program, much more similar to Clip Studio Paint (which I already use) than either GIMP or Photoshop. The Reference Docker could do with a couple of improvements, but I'll go elsewhere and suggest those.
