I’m an open-source artist. All the tools and software I have ever used to make my art are FLOSS. It’s my deeply held personal belief that the ability to create art should be as free as pencil and paper, and I want my work to be living proof of that ideal.
I’ve used Krita, Gimp, Inkscape, Blender, and other tools exclusively for over a decade. I never could afford Adobe’s shit, and I realized pretty quickly that nearly anything Photoshop can do, a bit of savvy and some extra time in Gimp and Krita can do equally well. My only complaint is that they can’t support Photoshop’s brush file formats. Which is absolutely a dealbreaker for most committed artists I know, because your brushes make or break your workflow and even your entire art style. So switching isn’t for everyone, and that’s fine.
I use Krita!
