I tried my best to keep it as accurate as possible, but I couldnt' make it. So I just improvised at the end.

It was a really interesting but also very challenging exercise that took me out of my comfort zone.

Gotta work more on this 💪🏾

Getting started (again) with Krita - Day1/3

Krita is a free software for digital drawing/painting and frame by frame animation.

I tried it few months ago, but there were some bugs and continuous crashes, so I gave up for a while. I hope the bugs have been solved since then, because this software seems to be really great for digital painting!
