To create a mirror effect in Krita, you can use the dedicated mirror tools available in the toolbar.
Krita offers built-in symmetry tools that allow you to draw on one side and have your strokes mirrored automatically on the other. This is often referred to as a mirror effect or symmetry drawing.
Using the Mirror Icons
Based on the provided reference, Krita provides specific icons in the toolbar for quick access to mirroring functionalities.
-
Location: Look towards the top of your Krita interface, typically within the main toolbar.
-
Icons: You will find two distinct icons representing horizontal and vertical mirroring.
Icon Function Description First Icon Horizontal Mirror Mirrors your drawing horizontally across the canvas. Second Icon Vertical Mirror Mirrors your drawing vertically across the canvas. -
Activation: According to the reference, if you press the first icon (the horizontal mirror), it will mirror all the drawings. This implies that once activated, subsequent drawing actions will be mirrored according to the chosen axis.
By clicking one of these icons, you activate the respective mirror mode, and Krita will automatically duplicate and flip your strokes along the selected axis as you draw. This is a powerful way to create symmetrical designs, characters, or patterns efficiently.
These mirroring tools are part of Krita's broader set of symmetry and multibrush options, designed to streamline repetitive or symmetrical drawing tasks.
