CREATING AND MANAGING LAYERS IN KRITA
Krita uses layers to help you manage different parts of your artwork more easily. Imagine that
your artwork is like a stack of papers. Some papers have holes cut in them to show the paper
underneath, while others cover up what's below. If you want to change something in your artwork,
you just replace one piece of paper instead of redrawing everything.
In Krita, layers work like these papers. They can be transparent or solid, bigger or smaller than your
whole drawing, and you can stack them on top of each other, name them, and group them together.
Using layers gives you more control over your artwork. For example, you can change all the
colours in your artwork by working on a separate colour layer. This way, you don't mess up the
line art, which stays safe on a layer above the colours. Layers allows you to edit different parts of
your artwork without affecting the other.
