  You need to use a different tool. If you utilise the Line tool (it's right side by side to the Freehand Brush tool on the toolbar), it draws lines using the Brush Preset that is selected, with dynamics and all, equally if you lot were drawing by paw.
  You can concord SHIFT to snap the line to angles, and you can control the pressure level of dissimilar points on the line by using your stylus as you lot press and elevate to brand the line (it makes the line vary thickness). This last feature only works when "Apply Sensors" is on in the tool options for the Line tool.

  Yous can as well try using the Banana Tool, it's something that guides the cursor while you're painting with mouse or tablet.
  The one yous're looking for is the Ruler, information technology makes a uncomplicated line. After you create one or more than ruler assistants you tin select the brush tool to paint and, in the tool options, no affair the stroke smoothing manner, you tin plough on the "Assistant" selection and exit it at maximum.
  When y'all commencement painting your stroke will be constrained to those assistant lines. This should feel more similar Photoshop but takes more fourth dimension to gear up up.

  Cheers for the reply. Assistant tool looks like it could come in handy sometime but for the meantime I retrieve i'll stick to photoshop for precise line work and paste into krita to fix upward tiling.

  Krita tin open your average PSD fine so yous should be able to keep both software open and go dorsum and forth rapidly.
  Only Krita doesn't take the Clipping Mask feature (information technology uses something else to do this, called alpha-inheriting), so if you happen to use clip-masked layers in the PSD they will be loaded equally normal layers and will "drain" off the layer that was clipping them (as if y'all turned the clip-masking off in Photoshop).
