The brush settings drop-down is divided into six areas, Section A – General Information ¶ When you open Brush Settings Editor panel you will see something like this: Tour of the brush settings drop-down ¶ Alternately, you can use the F5 key to open it. To start, the Brush Settings Editor panel can be accessed in the toolbar, between the Choose brush preset button on the right and the Fill Patterns button on the left. Tips are only a stamp of sorts, while the preset uses a tip and many other settings to create the full brush. Unlike Photoshop, Krita makes a difference between brush-tips and brush-presets. So, you can save those settings into presets.

The brush engines have a lot of different settings as well. And much like how cars have different engines that give different feels when driving, or how pencils make distinctly different marks than roller ball pens, different brush engines have totally different feels. In a digital program like Krita you have something similar. All these have different ways of making marks. You use pencils, erasers, paintbrushes, different types of paint, inks, crayons, etc. In the real world, when painting or drawing, you don’t just use one tool.
