Photoshop and other painting software had "intelligent" brushes for a while now. These try to simulate stuff like paint mixing (even watercolor), opacity and texture.


Could you give me an example? I'd love to know more about the watercolour paint mixing. If you meant the "live tip" settings of Photoshop, you can do all that in Krita too, using the "texture", and "mask tip" features. RGBA seems to definitely be something Krita has over Photoshop, but I could well be wrong!

by the way, there are other softwares like Rebelle that try to truly simulate traditional mediums - bordering on a whole-ass physics engine that works completely different in the backend from PSD/Krita. Unfortunately its a paid software so yeah :s


It's been a while, but a bit of googling turned up this: https://www.adobe.com/uk/learn/fresco/web/realistic-watercol...


Damn that really does look cool (。•́︿•̀。) it seems like I have my work cut out for me, I'd love to have that "animated feel" in a Krita brush. I do have some ideas - I might not get anywhere but who knows :D
