We don't display it as in-your-face as we used to do, but we do have a
vision document:
https://docs.krita.org/KritaFAQ#What_is_Krita.3F
"Krita is a KDE program for sketching and painting, offering an
end–to–end solution for creating digital painting files from scratch
by masters.
Fields of painting that Krita explicitly supports are concept art,
creation of comics and textures for rendering.
Modeled on existing real-world painting materials and workflows, Krita
supports creative working by getting out of the way and with a snappy
response."
I think it needs updating a bit. I was never to happy to use "masters"
as shorthand for "people who take some effort to learn it" -- but I have
no idea how to improve that.
I think we need to add "matte painting, illustrations and animations" to
the fields that krita explicitly supports. Note: product design will
never get in there!
The last para needs most work: real world painting materials needs to
go out... Something like "Krita caters for the need to be productive
and creative by offering a smooth worklow, snappy response and inspiring
serendipity" -- or something like that?
