„Forest Vegetation 3“ is the first expansion Set of 18 new Brushes for Environment and Nature
Painting in Krita. It contains several new Brushes for painting Tree‘s, distant Skyline Silouhettes
and some new Leaf and texture Brushes.
How to install...
The „Tree creation Branches“ Brushes are really handy to draw rough shapes of Tree‘s, Bushes or
Shrubs. For this simply pull up and down.
Use the easy or advanced Bark Brush to draw the shape of a Trunk.
The set also contains 3 new Leaf Brushes (dense, medium and fine)
Add some highlights to the Trunk with the „Barkytex“ Brushes. There are 3 of them in the Set with
different Bark Textures.
Already looks like Tree‘s in an Environment Painting ;)
The Leaf Brushes also can be used to add some highlights to vegetation objects. I recommend to
draw leaves on seperate layers, so you can lock the alpha of the layer for painting highlights much
more accurate.
Drawing the rough Shape of a Treeline
Lock the Alpha Channel and add highlights with the „Distant Vegetation Tex“ Brushes.
Use the „Mountain Tree Silhoutte“ Brush to add some nice background Skyline.The Scene grows
more and more. Just let your inspiration flow.
Maybe add some Tree with one of the „Bark“ Brushes. The Set contains two Bark Brushes (Easy
and Advanced)...
The difference between easy and advanced you can see in the following example...
The advanced one has a slight Texture offset.
Adding more Details to the Tree...
Maybe a path to the Lake ? ;)
Create a startpoint for a huge Landscape scene with the „Forest Distance“ Brushes
I recommend to work on several Layers to have better control for texturing.
Add some Greenery Texture with the „Distant Vegetation Tex“ Brushes.
Work out the Details a bit more...
Maybe some Mountain in the Background.
Adding Clouds and Trees...
Give the Treebark some Texture...
Add some Highlights to the Leaves...
