# Digital Painting
Digital Painting is the creation of artwork using a computer or tablet instead of traditional media
such as paper or canvas.
It is commonly used for illustrations, concept art or comics.
## Hardware
Digital painting is typically performed using a
[graphics tablet or a tablet computer](/wiki/smart_device.md#smartphones-and-tablet-computers) with
an active stylus that supports pressure sensitivity.
## Software
Many digital painting applications are available.
Popular options include the following.
- [Krita](/wiki/krita.md) is a free and open-source program for digital painting.
It is available for [Linux](/wiki/linux.md), [Windows](/wiki/windows.md) and
[Android](/wiki/android.md).

# Krita
[Krita](https://krita.org/) is a free and open-source cross-platform
[digital painting](/wiki/digital_painting.md) program focused on illustrations, concept art, comics
and animation.
It is available for [Linux](/wiki/linux.md), [Windows](/wiki/windows.md) and
[Android](/wiki/android.md).
## Setup
The Krita program can be installed from source as described [on GitHub](https://github.com/KDE/krita).
Alternatively many [Linux](/wiki/linux.md) [package managers](/wiki/linux/package_manager.md)
package Krita in the `krita` package.
The software can also be installed on [Android](/wiki/android.md) via
[F-Droid](/wiki/android/f-droid.md) packaged under
[org.krita](https://f-droid.org/packages/org.krita/).
## Usage
This section addresses the usage of Krita.
### Disable Finger Drawing (Pen-only Mode)
On [Android](/wiki/android.md), accidental touches from your hand can create unwanted brush strokes.
While palm rejection is primarily handled by the tablet hardware, Krita allows disabling drawing
with touch input.
To enable pen-only drawing navigate to *Settings*, *Configure Krita*, *General* and *Tools* and
disable *Enable Touch Painting*.
Afterward, restart Krita.
After restarting, only the stylus can draw, while finger touches are ignored.
This provides a better drawing experience on devices with active stylus support.
