Krita Practice - Salamander by Void-Lizard on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

My harddrive died so I redid a lot of my computer recently. Part of it involved losing my bootleg janky 2017 copy of Photoshop, so I finally switched to a real art program called Krita. It's taking me some time to set it up, get everything into a good layout, and build the muscle memory for the tools and brushes, but so far I really like it!

Here's the first thing I drew with it, Salamander looking unsure. There's no story behind the picture, it's just whatever happened to get drawn at any given point. Originally he had a neutral expression, was in feral form, and was sitting on the ground, but I just kept randomly changing details. It's pretty sketchy as I didn't wanna bother figuring out how to do good lines and coloring, I was more concerned with learning how to use the basic tools and figuring out the layers. Some things are basically 1:1 with Photoshop, some things are completely different.
