[info] **Update:** This resources joined the default patterns in Krita 2.9 and above. You probably don't need to install it, just go to the pattern, they should be already installed. [/info] Since few days, there is a lot of activity around the 'textured' brush feature started by Boudewijn Rempt and continued lastly by Dmitry Kazakov (read the [bug-tracker topic about it](https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=313831 "bug-tracker topic about it" ) for more infos). The feature , actually in a development branch, is getting fantastic and excellent. The default pattern shipped with Krita also need for a little refresh and love, and that's a part I can handle. ## Download : the texture contain 25 PNG images , **licensed as CC-0 , public domain** : **Download ( 9,2 MB ) : [2013-01-26_Krita_texture-pack1.tar.gz ](data/documents/2013-01-26_Krita_texture-pack1.tar.gz) ** ## Infos : It was made from resources I drew personally or made with my camera and scanner , or for few other ones built on the top of other CC-0 ressources ; Wikimedia Commons documents and a little of MrMamurk famous Mypaint background, or Ramon Miranda CC-0 textures for GPS and Mypaint. The dynamic screentones are inspired of the one shipped with Gimp-painter 2.6 of Sygetch. The pack contain 25 pattern , sorted this way : * 2 canvas ( thin , and rough ) * 4 papers ( default, C , torchon ) * hand drawn pattern ( dot , hatching ) * textures ( rocks, bark, wood, crackles ) * 3 dynamic screentones I followed this specifications : * 512x512 max with a lot of details * Pixels infos from black to white, normalised with most of 50% mid-grey value * Seamless , tilable to infinity of course ( thanks Gimp Resynthesizer plugin ) * Removed duplicate : my original set contained more than 50. Similar effect or neighbours were removed. * \*.png compressed, easy to manage on file explorer , with thumbnails and cross compatible. * prefix of filename 'deevad_' for organisation, and easy removal if needed. ![](data/images/blog/2013/01/texture-demo.jpg) _various sample of stroke effects_
