That’s right: the developers didn’t take an existing tool that users love and remove half of the functionality to create a ‘mobile’ version.
Let me explain.įor starters, I’ve compared this build of Krita with the desktop version and the UI is almost identical. But there is little in the Play Store at this moment that is doing what Krita is doing on a Chromebook. Concepts is pretty full-featured and Google’s own Chrome Canvas is a fun tool for my kids to doodle with when they get the urge. There are plenty of drawing apps in the Play Store that work fine on Chromebooks. That last part is what I’m qualified to speak on, so lets focus in on that for a moment.
Is it a clear sign that desktop-class software is clearly possible and awesome on Chromebooks via the Play Store? Absolutely. Is it comparable to Photoshop or able to take the place of it? That’s arguable, but also tangent to Krita’s usefulness as an artistic tool. Is it great and making paintings, sketches, and other artistic creations? From what I can tell by others’ opinions of the software, it is indeed. So, that makes me a terrible – TERRIBLE – candidate to review or comment on the usefulness of the new build of Krita (a free, professional-level painting application) for Android from an artistic perspective. Graphics, logos, website design, and general aesthetics are more my thing. I’m just not one of those types that can look at a thing and then convert that 3-dimensional object into a 2-dimensional one on paper.
I’d love to be and I spent a good deal of time re-sketching comic book frames of Batman when I was younger, but my drawing/painting abilities on my own have always been limited. At least not with a pencil, pen, chalk, or a brush in my hand. Let’s get this out of the way: I’m no artist.
