XnViewMP does not look like that when you first start. ^ Here is an image of XnViewMP sitting on top of Krita.


But if you’re an artist like myself, then I highly recommend XnViewMP and you’ll understand why in a moment. If you’re someone who works mostly with photos and have a massive collection in the 100,000+ (family, vacation etc…), then digiKam is the heavy weight of them all. But digiKam is a bit bloated and has too many features that most artists don’t really need.

I have installed and deleted XnViewMP many times in the past because its interface isn’t that appealing at first, and thought that digiKam (also free and cross-platform) was better, and it looks better too. In this post I will convince you why XnViewMP is the better choice. I have searched high and low and never thought that XnViewMP would be the right one for Krita artists: Powerful Image Viewer A lot can be said on the usage and gathering of references, a topic for another time, but here in this quick walkthrough I want to share my workflow involving photo references. requires a massive amount of data taken from other artists, how much more it is with us. The truth is that the more we see, hear and read the easier it will be to create and improvise as an artist. Or that to be original and creative, they must not copy or imitate. Beginners often think that if they just close their eyes and think hard enough, then great ideas will come. You were influenced by many things to come up with that concept. That creature concept you came up with that you think doesn’t exist in real life actually came from real life, no matter how distorted and out of this world it looks. All the ideas that you have came from somewhere or influenced by something outside of yourself. Or to put it another way: There’s nothing new under the Sun.
