I thought this was an interesting read - the report from the latest development sprint of the open-source Krita art program. They have 2.5 million downloads a year for Krita now and several full-time developers working on it, funded by fundraising and Steam sales etc. It's also interesting to see so many artists being involved in the program like this. https://krita.org/en/item/krita-2019-sprint/

I think of Krita as software that replaces a sketchpad but maybe I'm wrong? Doing a traditional sketch/watercolor and then photographing it with a digital camera essentially digitizes it producing a result similar to Krita.

Doing a traditional sketch/watercolor and then photographing it with a digital camera essentially digitizes it producing a result similar to Krita. A 'sketchpad' is not really covering it - Krita is a full art creation and editing suite these days. Krita actually can do pretty much everything that GIMP can, at least for my usage. It has a smaller selection of custom filters than the latter and don't have the long history and big community of scripters etc. But things like GMic are available as a menu item. The only thing I really lack is the ability to clone between layers (but I think that was being looked at). Overall though, Krita's main focus is on _creating_ artwork - digital painting, drawing and the like. It also has quite powerful animation features. Unless that changed recently, as far as I know, Gimp devs have stated quite clearly that their primary focus is on photo manipulation; that is, _editing_ existing artwork rather than creating it.  .

Thanks for the very good description of what Krita is Griatch. I like the artwork you created. A lovely nymph walking around in the forest (sigh). It's just like here but in another hemisphere of course
