Digital painting and illustration with Krita 6 — concept art, character/scene illustration, hand-drawn icons and textures, logo sketches, comics and storyboards — plus headless Krita canvas creation and batch export in a reproducible container. Use when the user wants to draw or paint, set up brushes or a drawing tablet, build a Krita canvas/template, animate frame-by-frame, or batch-export .kra files.

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

1 rule. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈1

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 0

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    Keep reference images in the *Reference Images* tool, not on canvas layers.

    line 37

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Illustration (Krita)

Painting happens in Krita on the desktop (any OS). The scripts — canvas presets and batch export — run headlessly in the design-skills full image automatically (bash <skill-dir>/scripts/<name>.sh …; see design-sandbox).

Guides

  • references/krita-workflow.md — setup, brushes, layer structure, sketch → line → flats → shading → finish.
  • references/tablet-setup.md — pressure curves and button mapping on Linux (GNOME/KDE), Windows and macOS.

Quick defaults

  • Canvas: work at 2× the final size; 300 DPI for print; sRGB (sRGB-elle-V2-srgbtrc) for screen.
  • Save .kra often; set autosave to 5 min (Settings → Configure Krita → General → File Handling).
  • Keep reference images in the Reference Images tool, not on canvas layers.
  • Export for web via kra-export.sh, then graphic-design/optimize.sh.
