Does Krita have e curve tool like the one old paint has, where you make a line and then you can 'bend' it? : D

I'm not sure what you mean, but it has a path tool you can edit and bend before stroking the line?

I have tried the path tool, but the toturials i looked at had an other, very different krita version, so i couldn't do what they did ^^' I just wanna begin drawing digitally, but i'm starting by line arting a head i've drawn on paper and scanned, but i don't have a firm digital-drawing-hand to make the head shape, so i would like and curve tool ^^ This kinda shape:

That looks like a path tool, you can do editable path shapes by making a vector layer. In the layers panel, click on the little plus panel in the bottom-left to make a vector layer, and then use the drawing tools to make vector shapes on it. When I made these tutorials, the path tool in Krita didn't work very well, but they're better now.

Ok, i think it's because i forgot to make a vector layer, so i will try that! ^^ Thanks for the answer!
