It happened at <a title=\"TT\" href=\"http:\/\/letittytwister.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">the Titty-Twister<\/a>, a &#8220;From Dusk Till Dawn&#8221; themed club.<br \/>\nI was drawing on a Vaio-Duo, with the screen mirrored to another big screen and a printer to print results, and I made quick vampire-style caricatures to fit the theme (~5 minutes\/drawing).<br \/>\nAs usual people enjoyed a lot the live drawing session, and where amazed by Krita&#8217;s features. Also it was a good occasion for me to test the latest Krita desktop and sketch installers for windows on it (win8-64bit), and the hardware compatibility.<br \/>\nAbout this, too bad the pressure stylus of this ultrabook is not wacom-based and so pressure doesn&#8217;t work in Krita, still it was more precise than drawing with capacitive\/touch-screen only.<\/p>\n<p>Here some of the sketches made during this night:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/timotheegiet.com\/images\/krita\/TittyTwister-sketch02.png\" alt=\"sketch02\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/timotheegiet.com\/images\/krita\/TittyTwister-sketch06.png\" alt=\"sketch06\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/timotheegiet.com\/images\/krita\/TittyTwister-sketch14.png\" alt=\"sketch14\" \/><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week for the first time I&#8217;ve been teaching Krita lessons, from Monday to Wednesday, at Activ Design.
