#but you can't bloody find ANYTHING in it without a step-by-step tutorial

[blue-cat-shitposts]

It’s really fucking hysterical at this point how much I don’t know about my own drawing software.

I mean I've been using Krita for what, five years now? And I'm still learning just how much I don't fucking know about this program and its capabilities. I only discovered it has stabilizers half a year ago. I had to look up a video that showed me what dockers to enable for animation and how to use them. Not to mention the dozens of blending modes which I’m still trying to figure out what exactly they do an how to use them. This program is a marvel of engineering but I’m using like, 5% of it at most. I feel like the Doctor being scolded by River Song about improper use of the TARDIS every time I learn that there's a feature in Krita that makes what I want to do five hundred times easier and more efficient.

There's this one guy on Youtube called David Revoy that has in-depth tutorials specifically about Krita, and I have never felt this indebted to one man’s thankless work before. It’s thanks to him that I learned that something called a coloring mask is even a thing, and it has improved my life DRAMATICALLY ever since I’ve learned about it.

However I do need to watch his videos one at a time with breaks because my brain is being blown with the sheer amount of information in each one. It's just me going "wait you can do WHAT?!" every five seconds for the entirety of the 15-minute video every time.

Every time, every fucking time I’m stuck trying to painstaikingly draw something manually, and then learn about another feature Krita has that’d make the process a thousand times easier and better, it’s basically:

Every FUCKING time

"N-No, no, please, no, don't, please don't, please-" Pumpkin knew Seth had to treat the wound. They knew as soon as their eye popped out of the socket, they knew, but now that he was about to actually do it, actually treat that goddamn wound, they couldn't stop begging. "Please, no more, please..."

Seth hushed them, holding them down easily. "Deep breaths for me, okay? Nice, deep breaths. We don't want a nasty infection now do we?"

Pumpkin whimpered in response. They didn't, of course they didn't, but please, anything but rubbing alcohol in their eye. Anything but Seth poking around in there with cotton or whatever he was about to use. Anything but that. "Sir, p-please, please n-not without- not while I'm awake, please, please Sir, I'll do anything, anything, please don't do this..."

"I don't know..." Seth held their eyelids open, inspecting the gruesome, bloody injury like it was nothing but a science project. "I don't think you were good enough for that while I was taking it out."

"I'll b-be good, I'll be good, I'll prove it, I'll prove it after, I'll do anything... Please, p-please don't, don't do it while I'm awake, please, please, I can't take it-"

"Oh, but you can." Seth grinned, eager to prove his own theory now. "Your body can take so much more than your fragile little mind, Pumpkin. You might be going insane, but I promise you, you can take it." He stepped away, walking back to the desk and looking at something on his phone. "I will say though, it's hard finding tutorials on how to clean a wound like this at home, without a conformer and a surgeon and all that. But I promise, I'll do my best."
