Also did you try Krita 4.1.x? It has some serious improvements on animation regarding copying and duplicating frames and series of frames.

That way the next frame has the same content as the previous one. There is a shortcut for it and you can do it from the Animation Docker, too. You can duplicate the frame, not only create a new blank frame.

Things like having to press Ctrl+z when making a new frame in a layer with pixels on it because it deletes the pixels of the layer

While in the course i had to install a previous version of Krita because it crashed when i tried to flip a layer. Of course it has some bugs, for example if you try to move a selection while in alpha lock mode, the selection is going to dissappear, so you need to disable alpha lock, make a brush stroke, ctrl+z to delete the brush stroke and then make the selection again.

I haven't used Paint.Net a lot, you can make pixel art with any tool, but Krita offers a lot of things, you can make really helpful pixel art brushes, you have hd index painting, clone layers, symmetry, wrap around mode, and of course a dark interface that doesn't hurt your eyes. In general i would take a look at tools like Aseprite or Pyxel Edit, to see what's missing in Krita.

I haven't used it too much in this course but pixel art brushes with predefined alphas also makes more interesting brushes (sadly Texture/patterns add antialiasing to the brush)ДЎ- Clone layers, to make tileable textures/tilesДў- Wrap around mode for the same thing (it would be nice if you could only wrap the canvas in just one axis and not both at the same time)ДЈ- Similar color selection, to easily replace coloursД¤- Selectios tools, especially rectangular selectionДЎ- Rotsprite algorithm, pixel art in Krita gets awful when rotated/scaled, there's an algorithm called Rotsprite that fixes this, it's used in Aseprite for example, ДЈ- Pixel perfect stroke (Similar to the Freehand path tool but in realtime)Д¤- Decent animation tools, this is the thing that i think is really holding Krita back, things like having to press Ctrl+z when making a new frame in a layer with pixels on it because it deletes the pixels of the layer, or still showing disabled layers on the timeline, not being able to export a spritesheet, not being able to crop the document to the 'maximum aplitude of the animation' (so you don't get a cropped animation) The rotsprite algorithm really helps animation because you can make a draft of the animation by moving, scaling and rotating things, right now in Krita if you do that to pixel art it will get really deformed and you will need to do a lot of manual fixing.ДҐ- In 'extreme' situations the Box filter doesn't work as it should (adds antialiasing, specially when scaling down)

In the course i also teach how to grab that same brush and add scatter and pressure sensitivity to make clouds (so you get scattered circles, that makes it really fast to make clouds.) The brush that's mainly used is the normal-default pixel art brush from David, sometimes i've used the dithering brush. Hi, -tiar-, sorry for the missing flair, thanks for sharing the course! Pictures look pretty nice though so it's promising I believe.Д«ut I have some questions: what brushes do you use? I believe there are default pixel brushes in Krita 4 because David made them, but do you use it or something else? What other tools do you think are essential for pixel art and what is missing in Krita? And how Krita compares to Paint.Net (my friend uses it to make pixel art, I managed to make him try something else than just MS Paint but he didn't like Krita much for some reason). I bypassed it to my friend who is interested in that kind of stuff. You can do that on the bottom of the post - click 'Flair' or the tag icon (I don't remember what shows up, either one of it should) and you'd be able to choose it. It'll make it easier for us to keep this subreddit in order. In this case the correct flair is 'Tutorial' I believe. Please use a correct flair to flag your posts: 'Made in Krita' for a picture, 'Help/Question' for questions and 'Solved' when the question is answered.
