So to use it effectively, use two, where the second is at a 90 degrees angle of the first, and add a vanishing point to the center of both. Like the vanishing point assistant, this assistant is per a set of parallel lines in a 3d space. This means you can modify the amount of lines shown in the tool options of the Assistant Tool. When you’ve just created, or when you’ve just moved a vanishing point assistant, it will be selected. If you press the Shift key while holding the center handle, they will snap to perfectly horizontal or vertical lines depending on the position of where it previously was.Ĭhanged in version 4.1: The vanishing point assistant also shows several general lines. They are made and manipulated with the Assistant Tool. It is one point, with four helper points to align it to previously created perspective lines. A preview line is drawn and all your snapped lines are drawn to this line.

This assistant allows you to create a vanishing point, typically used for a horizon line. Press the Shift key while holding the third or fourth handle, they will snap relative to the handle they are attached to. If you press the Shift key while holding the first two handles, they will snap to perfectly horizontal or vertical lines. You can then draw along the curve, snapping your brush stroke directly to the curve line. This assistant allows you to position and adjust four points to create a cubic bézier curve. This adds extra smaller notches between the Subdivisions. This adds notches to the length of the assistant, evenly spread over the assistant. New in version 5.1: Of these, the Ruler assistant also has extra options to add markers: Subdivisions This ruler allows you to draw a line parallel to the line between the two points anywhere on the canvas. Infinite RulerĮxtrapolates a straight line beyond the two visible points on the canvas. Helps create a straight line between two points. There are three assistants in this group: Ruler This tool can be used to build reference for complex scenes. You can delete any grid by clicking on the cancel button at its center. If you press the Shift key while holding any of the corner handles, they’ll snap to one of the other corner handles, in sets. This process can be repeated on any subsequent grid or grid section. This will allow you to expand the grid at other angles. The grid can be extended by clicking and dragging a midpoint of one of its edges. The grid can be manipulated by pulling on any of its four corners. This grid can be used with the ‘perspective’ sensor, which can influence brushes. A grid can be added to your canvas by first clicking the tool in the toolbar and then clicking four points on the canvas which will serve as the four corners of your grid. This ruler allows you to draw and manipulate grids on the canvas that can serve as perspective guides for your painting. The dotted lines represent the current, actual axis of the final ellipse. They are the axis of the circle in perspective. There are two sets of lines inside the ellipse: one, solid, are the lines connecting points where the ellipse touches the tetragon. The X-like marks show the locations of the vanishing points for the perspective. The assistant consists of four points, which are the corners for the tetragon defining the ellipse. It can be used either simply, to draw an ellipse defined by a tetragon which the ellipse is tangential to, or in a perspective as an ellipse representing the perspective transformation of a circle. Perspective Ellipse ¶Īlternative assistant for drawing ellipses. Third handle, and it’ll snap to a perfect circle. To perfectly horizontal or vertical lines. If you press the Shift key while holding the first two handles, they will snap The same an ellipse, but allows for making ellipses that are concentric to each other. This assistant consists of three points: the first two are the axis of the ellipse, and the last one is to determine its width. Ellipse ¶Īn assistant for drawing ellipses and circles.

You can select a type of assistant via the tool options docker. The following assistants are available in Krita: Types ¶ Krita’s vanishing point assistants in action.

In the tool options of free hand brush, you can toggle Snap to Assistants to turn on snapping. They can function as a preview shape, or you can snap onto them with the freehand brush tool. The assistant system allows you to have a little help while drawing straight lines or circles.
