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. Since the interface is currently optimized for big screen devices (tablets and chromebooks) we are not making it available for phones yet.Let’s get this out of the way: I’m no artist. This is a beta release of Krita and is not suitable for real work yet. Discover the full feature set of Krita at !
