brush strokes not as smooth as sai(with sufficient hardware)

Wed Mar 07, 2018 10:17 pm

hey, i need some help
im trying to use krita solely in my draws, but brush strokes,especially quick ones, look worse than in SAI's, mostly in edges
here's a small comparison

with different settings (edit: i forgot to add one with delay option on in the stabilizer in krita

)
this mostly affects sketches and lineart, but it also makes coloring a bit worse, also makes drawing fur/grass much harder
im not sure if it's my settings or anything else, the brush in krita is the default one preset just with flow/opacity off
im using huion h610 pro
windows 10
4790k
gtx 970
if you need any other info ill do what i can

I don't know about other software, but I do have nice and smooth strokes on Krita, depending obviously in the size of the canvas I'm using, could be from a tiny shaky (when doing huge lines on big canvas) to supper smooth (small canvas + small lines), my settings for the stabilizer are similar to yours, except I have 100 for distance and no delay active, but also very important, I don't have instant preview on, as in my very own case, it prevents me from doing smooth strokes, I don't know, may be not your case but its worth to try. Also for painting/coloring using any smoothing is a bit counterproductive, I wouldn't recommend it. Lastly you can try changing the pen/tablet curve behavior on the settings.

Hi Ghostlyboo, it's normal ; Krita doesn't support (yet) the feature of smoothing "end of line" and "start of line" ( the spiky shape you see at the end of your line in Paint-tool-sai. Manga-studio does it too ). It's a smoothing assistance invisible to the user and it simulate 0 to user-pressure at the line start, and user-pressure to 0 at line ending. With that the line and painting stroke are more elegant and beautiful.
With Krita, you need to train your hand to get the skill for real (I hope this feature will come one day inside the Krita stabilizer).

changing the pressure curve helped a bit, they look a bit better now but also the brush feels a bit heavier,i can live with that though, thanks

that's a bummer, but its a relief it's not a problem on my end! yeah i hope it gets added as sketching feels much better in sai/clip studio, thanks
as a side note, thanks a lot for your brush pack, it's a great brush pack!
