Krita 3.0 Development Builds

I never like or rather decently use Krita 2.9. For some reasons Krita 2.9 doesn't run very well on my system. So I stay with Krita 2.8 and hold my hope high for the next Krita, the 3.0. Which is still in development.

The latest Krita hit Beta stage few days earlier and now the development build is ready to be tested.

I test it and what I found it is faster than 2.9 and  that alone is music to my ear and pencil to my fingers.

The only bug I found so far is browsing in reference image docker hung Krita. But that was a one time only, I couldn't reproduce it.

The best thing about this is you can try it without interfering your stable Krita installation and no installation necessary. Just download Krita and run it.

Here's some Krita 3.0 Beta screenshots:

How To Protect Your Drawing Tablet

I am a little obsessed with protecting my gadgets, they're not cheap and I can't afford to buy them again and again.

My drawing tablet gear is no exception.

Wear and tear from daily use is no doubt will leave scratches, if you are like me then you want to keep its mint-ness  preserved.
Just use screen guard, like the one used in handphones and tablets. Find the size that suits your drawing tablet, I think a little bigger than the drawing area is better, that way your digital pen won't bump into a slightly elevated borders.

I put 10" screen guard over my 6" x 8" drawing area and then I can sleep well .
