Six prep presets

This simple set should include everything you need to plan out and draw your comics in preparation for inking and other processing. The lettering convention of Krita’s default brushes have been applied, so that the erasers are now a)Kurio and the pencils c)Kurio. These should be pre-tagged as the group Kurio Pencils.

ONERASER, one eraser to rule them all!

The pencil is your most important drawing tool, but this preset is particularly special. It’s designed for the eraser end of your stylus, so that your workflow need never be interrupted by having to swap out eraser presets.

Apply pressure for a sharp, clean erasure. Pass over with a light touch for a kneaded eraser. Here’s a quick Oneraser demo.

For large scale regret, choose the Utility Knife. It does not have a width; outline a section you wish to eliminate.

The pencils, basic and rough, like many Kurio presets, do not have a round tip, but instead an oval that follows the flow of your drawing. For the ink brushes, this is meant to create more the tactile feel of a brush yielding to paper, and to help provide more control over the declination of a line. For the pencils, the slight oval tip following your lead helps provide that feeling of interactivity. You’re not simply a machine plotting dot from dot, but a guiding hand touching digital paper.

The color is slightly altered to resemble a pencil, when the foreground is set to default black. This is not an opacity trick, although the line will become darker as you bear down on it.

For best results, use the freehand brush with smoothing disabled.

The liquid pencil is dark, smooth for planning and designing.

Last and least, a basic blue pencil set to blue by default, for cartoonists who like to block things out with blue line. The only real strength of this preset is time savings, as we are concerned with workflow. No matter what color you have selected, this pencil is blue. Blue is the color, and blue it shall remain.
