It was the most difficult thing I had to cope with when trying to make some friends get into krita, it’s like flipping a coin, sometimes it works, sometimes not. I had to get back to Windows a year ago and with a better configuration it’s slower than the Linux version. What do you think needs improvement in Krita? Is there anything that really annoys you? I don’t have to use the mouse to quickly rename and organize everything, I worked in an office where I had to use Photoshop, and man, oh man, I suddenly realized why every artist ever who uses Photoshop doesn’t rename layers, it’s just terrible. Ok, enough kidding, I love the layer management. Can I say David Revoy? or Wolthera? I learned so much from those two. Wow, it’s like Photoshop, hey, the right click what… What do you love about Krita? Then I found this piece of software that looked like a good alternative and tried. I use Linux as a main OS from time to time, in 2016 I was searching open source alternatives for drawing, back in the days I was using MyPaint, I never liked Gimp for drawing, so I used an “alternative” copy of other software, but not Photoshop, I never liked to draw with Photoshop. Nowdays I still do animation, but I don’t make a choice, I do what each project needs, recently I directed a stop-motion short because it was the right language for the message. After that was because of animation, doing 2d animation on paper needs a huge setup and you know what Uncle Ben said, “with big setups comes a big bill to pay”. In the beginning it was fear, with pixel art and vectors I had all the control. What makes you choose digital over traditional painting? After 3 years of biology I returned to digital art with pixel art and vectors in inkscape and aseprite. In 2009 I went to college, on the biology course, and stopped studying animation and drawing. In this course I received classes in almost the entire suite of Adobe and Maya, all in 2007. My first experience was with an illustrator on a very bad “CGI” course. How and when did you get to try digital painting for the first time? Hmm, the first to come to mind is Chuck Jones, it was the first name I recognized again and again in cartoons and as a child I had thoughts like “he must be the most amazing guy” And after reading his book Chuck Amuck and The Noble Approach by Maurice Noble it turned out to be true. Whose work inspires you most - who are your role models as an artist? But recently I’m drawing a lot of people to get better at it, normally some fantasy or superhero themes in urban context. I love to draw animals and make creatures. It’s good to get a bit out of the bubble. Do you paint professionally, as a hobby artist, or both?īoth, it’s a bit odd, you know, your profession and hobby all mixed together, I’m trying to get back to playing video games and trying to read more non-related things. I have a bachelor’s degree in biology and cinema, the latter one being completed in 2019, specialized in animation. I’m Jeff, a brazilian animator and character designer (sometimes illustrator).
