Hello Boudewijn,<div><br></div><div>Thanks for a quick reply!</div><div>I took a look at Art Rage, and I really like it! Now I understand the project a little bit better, but I still think that my experience with the project I mentioned might help me :)</div>
<div>Is there a place where I can look at the interface of the existing tools and functions already implemented in Krita, which I could than use to make the Sketch-pad interface?</div><div>Also, I was wondering how would you like the sketch pad to be added? Like a special "view", like a completely different program (Krita lite, Krita sketch ? :) ), like a special "mode"...? I was first thinking about just implementing a toolbar, but because of the multiple to single layer transition, I think that is not an option?</div>
<div><br>Also, I was wondering is the design of the interface (color choosers etc) already predefined? Should it be similar to Krita, or perhaps, should it be something more appealing to children who like to sketch? :)</div>

</div>The sketch-pad idea, however, is less about implementing new tools and brush<br>
engines -- Krita already contains these -- but about creating a specialized<br>
user interface for Krita, on top of the existing code and plugins. Something<br>
more like Art Rage or MyPaint -- an interface specialized for, mainly, freehand<br>
sketching.<br>

</div>We don't assign mentors to projects before the selection process is done; all<br>
applications are collected<br>
