Professional digital painting program made by artists
Krita is a free painting application designed for illustrators, concept artists and comic creators. It offers a wide range of brush engines, layers, stabilisers for smooth lines and support for drawing tablets with pressure sensitivity.
It also includes frame-by-frame animation tools. Krita is focused on painting rather than photo retouching, so photographers will usually be better served by GIMP.
