    Krita's v4.2+ RGBA brushtips let you paint with dimensionality, and it's a technology that Photoshop doesn't have (≖‿ゝ≖) It lets the creator do things like emulating light direction, making brushstrokes look 3D. I used them to make a set of metallic brushes. If there are any FOSS artists around, feel free to test them out. (p.s. Yes, I am learning Github so I probably made repository mistakes - apologies in advance lol)

    Inkwash, a watercolor sketching app and explanationJun 2026 · johnowhitaker.github.io · ▲250

    I've made a drawing app based on my physical sketching practice, using fluid sim and some shader tricks to mimic watercolor-style ink washes. Best used on iPad or with a drawing tablet. The linked article shows how the core engine works, with plenty of little interactive demos. It was fun to make, sharing in hopes others find it fun too :)
