Animation is the illusion of movement created by rapidly displaying a sequence of still images.
Traditionally, this technique involves drawing frames on a flat surface, with each frame depicting
a slight change in position or action. To create animated films, artists had to draw and paint
thousands of individual sheets. A simpler example is a flipbook, where a series of sequenced
drawings are bound together and quickly flipped to simulate motion.
In this chapter, we will learn how to create animation in Krita.
KRITA
Krita is a free and easy-to-use digital painting software. You can create digital art, illustrations,
and even 2D animations with it. Krita has cool features like layers and filters to add special effects
to your artwork. Its animation feature lets you make your drawings move, just like a cartoon! It’s
a fun tool that helps bring your creative ideas to life.
Krita is not a dedicated animation software but it provides frame-by-frame raster animation.
