PD Howler has a great selection of brushes for emulating natural media as well as some pretty weird and fun ones.

I suppose the most obvious thing to talk about in an article about digital painting software would be what types of brushes does it have. A more useful feature would be if they had a small navigation window with a zoom slider like Krita and most other painting software has because I use that all the time in Krita. This shortcut combination was less useful because going into eraser mode with my tablet pen (set to right click button) means that if I try to pan around the canvas it zooms in and out instead in PD Howler. I usually use on-screen zoom sliders in most of my other painting software if I zoom in and out. Mouse Scroll wheel also zooms in and out. It would be nice if I could change it to one of those instead but I got used to using the key on my gaming keyboard.ĬTRL + SHIFT + Right mouse: Zoom in and out.

I set this Shortcut to a key on my gaming keyboard for easier access, but usually this function in most of the other painting software I have used is usually the ALT key or CTRL in Krita. In most of my other 2D painting software this is always set to the Space bar so it would be great if there was a way to change it to that so I don’t have to use a different one for this, but it is not a problem to use since the keys are close together anyway. I painted on a fairly large canvas size with no issues.

PD Howler is very fast to start up and use in general.

Since my last painting in PD Howler I have a newer PC with a modern GPU and multi core threaded CPU and a fast SSD drive, so I don’t have the same performance issues I was having before. My regular keyboard is in the centre of my standing desk on a shelf under my tablet monitor so that I can use that easily as well. Useful shortcut keys for painting in PD Howlerįirst a quick note on my painting setup: I use a gaming keypad for setting my shortcut combinations and macros for graphics and 3D applications so that I have easy access to them with my left hand while I’m using my tablet pen in my right hand.
