Krita - Free and open source digital painting application for Illustrators, comic artists, concept artists, matte painters etc. R/krita is for sharing artworks made in Krita, general help, tips and tricks, troubleshooting etc.
Krita Portable is a powerful yet intuitive digital painting tool that serves as a perfect example. It offers an impressive array of features aimed at a broad range of graphic artists, and it packs.
- 83 unique brush presets

- Lifetime free updates
The premium tier adds:
- More than 30 minutes of exclusive video tutorials to get the most out of the brushes
- The natural media brushkit

I take my time to design the presets and ensure that they are worth adding to the pack. I also use them in my daily work so they are tested thoroughly in all kinds of configurations.
What other artists have to say
Zhillustrator writes: 'Nathan's brush set has some essential brushes for digital painting that will ease your way into Krita's powerful brush engine. My favorites in the pack are the mix and smudge brushes. Honestly, if you like the Lite set, it's worth it, Krita is going somewhere.'

Changelog
Version 14 - July 2017
The new release of the GDQuest Krita brushes comes with 4 vegetation presets. In the past year, I learned a lot about Krita's brush engines, its strengths and limitations. I also tried to release a lot of presets to stuff up the pack. It's now time to slow down, and improve the releases. Starting with this one, the focus is on quality over quantity.
The new presets are all documented. They come with a bit of text and an example picture to show you how to use them. The premium version adds short, voiceless video demos, to get up to speed even faster!
Version 13 - April 2017
- Complete redesign of the brush thumbnails. All 85 brushes now have a new, clearer picture that highlights their stroke and still reads on small screens.This was a lot of work, but now it's done, the set is ready to welcome new presets.
- Pixel art presets are now in a separate bundle
Version 12 - March 2017
9 new brushes, including a watercolor sponge, an oil paint brush, chains, and more!
