How Do I Change the Brush Pressure in Krita?

Published in Krita Brush Settings 2 mins read

You can change the brush pressure sensitivity in Krita either for a specific brush or globally for all brushes. Here's how to do both:

1. Changing Brush Pressure for a Specific Brush:

  • Open the Brush Settings: Press F5 to open the Brush Settings docker.
  • Navigate to Size: Within the Brush Settings, look for the "Size" option under "Flow." Note: The exact location might vary slightly depending on the specific brush engine.
  • Adjust the Pressure Curve: You'll find a graph representing the pressure sensitivity. Tweak this curve to your liking.
    • A steeper curve means more sensitivity (lighter pressure yields a larger stroke).
    • A flatter curve means less sensitivity (you'll need to apply more pressure to get a larger stroke). You can add points to the curve to customize the response further.

2. Changing Global Pressure Sensitivity (for all brushes):

  • Open Krita's Configuration: Go to the "Settings" menu and select "Configure Krita...".
  • Navigate to Tablet Settings: In the configuration window, click on "Tablet settings".
  • Adjust the Pressure Curve: You'll find a graph representing the overall pressure sensitivity for Krita. Modify this curve to control how all brushes respond to pressure. Similar to the individual brush setting, a steeper curve increases sensitivity, and a flatter curve decreases it.

In Summary:

You can fine-tune brush pressure in Krita on a per-brush basis via the Brush Settings (F5) or globally through Krita's configuration under Tablet settings. Experiment with the pressure curves to find the responsiveness that best suits your drawing style.
