8/17/25: "Making it as an artist"

A question I heard several times before: "When have you made it as an artist?"

My answer: If you make art, you already made it as an artist. Your worth as an artist should not be defined by how much money you make from your art nor should it be based on how many followers or fans you have. It should be defined by your passion and love for making art. That is really all you need.

8/8/22: Krita Review

Krita is an digital painting application that I have been using for a looong time. There is a lot to like about this software. First of all, it has an adorable mascot, an anthropomorphic squirrel named Krita. Second of all, Krita is not just for making drawings and digital paintings. It can be used for making 2D ANIMATION!!! I made several gifs and short animations on Krita before. While there is a bit of a learning curve, it is very fun to animate on Krita. Another great thing about Krita is it has a diverse amount of paint tools ranging from pen tools to airbrush tools to textures tools. My personal favorite is the impressionistic brush! Last of all, Krita is FREE to download. Krita makes their money through donation so there is no need to worry about being bombarded with annoying advertisements. Those are all the pros but what about the cons?

Well, unless one has experience and/or an education in using the so-called "industry-standard" Photoshop, the Krita's user interface can be a little daunting for a noob. Like I mentioned before, there is a slightly deep learning curve in not only using the animation tools but using Krita as a whole. Another con is that Krita seems to be available only on desktop computer. The last time I checked, Krita does not have an app available to install on a smartphone or a tablet. Although I do think the creators and programmers of Krita are currently trying to work on this. Also, in order to render an animation in Krita, it is necessary to download another program FFMPEG. This process of downloading another program can be a headache, but the FFMPEG program does work well. That is all the cons I am aware of so far. Overall, Krita is definitely one of my favorite art application for creating and editing arts...on desktop computer! However, my favorite app for creating art on iPad is Procreate. I may do a review on Procreate next time. Ciao!

(7/2/25-7/6/25: Video was unfortunately deleted. It showed a chimp from Laurel and Hardy's Dirty Work short saying "I have nothing to say." I added a gif that happened to be clip of that.)
