GSoC idea

[Aca Markovic]

Hello Boudewijn,
Thanks for a quick reply!
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 :)
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?
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?

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? :)

Best regards,
Aca
