Topaz Rabbit Art
I've been continuing to learn the Amiga paint program DeluxePaint. After reading the manual (who does that anymore?!?), I had enough of a handle on the program to draw this new badge, and fairly quickly as well. #commodore #amiga #deluxepaint #furryart #badge #rabbit #bunny

@TopazRabbit I read the entire manual of DPaint II as a teenager and can't say I ever found a better tutorial of any program since. I still know most of it, even though I only use DPaint (or PyDPainter) once in a blue moon.

@TopazRabbit Speaking of manuals. Do you think an old Deluxe Paint user can get better at Krita by learning from a book like the one in the screenshot? I don't want to learn about creating my own fancy brushes or automation, but just how to efficiently paint things without doing so much clicking about.

Oh, definitely. One thing to keep in mind is that book covers a very old version of Krita, and it's gotten a lot better since then. I've been taking a digital painting course at proko.com that is built for Photoshop, but Krita has pretty much every feature described in the course. It's also forced me to experiment a lot with brushes, layers, and blending modes, breaking me out of quite a rut that I was in. So even having a Photoshop or Clip Studio-focused course, with the Krita documentation up for searching, will still help.
