A question about Gimp and Krita

A question about Gimp and Krita

Stephan Marcus Blad-Kinn's picture

I'm new to digital art (and every other form of drawing), and I've found two programs that interest me; Krita and Gimp.

 

- I was wondering which of those two are better suited for creating game assets larger than 128x128 px?

- I'm trying to open a transparent file in Krita on which I can draw, but I can't figure out how to. That is possible, right? I can set the opacity to 0, but then I can't see the canvas border, they become the same color.

- Would you recommend any tutorials on how to use Gimp or Krita (or on digital art in general). There are so many to choose from it's overwhelming.

 

Thanks in advance. :)
