Started painting/drawing a tattoo on a model in 2.83 and realized there is no erase like in a drawing program like Krita. WHY? This is frustrating. Is there an erase brush that just lets you erase just areas that you want to redraw and fix without having to cntrlz?
And how do you make the colors stronger? Everything is too thin like watered down paint. The white is not white it looks grey no matter how many times you paint over an area.
If you hold ctrl in texture paint mode you will erase instead of painting.
You can set brush strength in the top bar, next to the brush radius. But the final color will also depend on the setup of the material you are painting on and your lights setup.

Thank You. Sorry I didn’t say thanks earlier.
I’ll try this soon.
Okay i finally figured out how to make a shortcut to an eraser for Texture Paint.
The idea is that i needed to figure out the correct function id for the Blend modes (MIX + Erase-Alpha) and input that into the custom keymap menu
But usually when using digital art softwares for drawing you can have an eraser key that will erase only when pressed.
So i made 2 diferent keymaps one change to Erase-Alpha when PRESED and the other to switch back to Mix when Released.
This basically restore my workflow and avoid so much frustration while Texture painting.
Go in the preferences - > Keymaps → 3d View → Image Paint
Go on the bottom and create a new key slot by pressing : Add New then click on the little arrow next to none to open the tab of the shortcut
Then in the field where its written “none” type :
wm.context_toggle_enum
new fields will appear, in Context Attribute, type :
tool_settings.image_paint.brush.blend
in the first “Value” field, type :
ERASE_ALPHA
and in the second, type :
MIX
Now set a key for your shortcut and set the key mode to : PRESS
Repeat the whole operation a second type (create another keymap in the same place) but this time, revert the 2 Values
first :
MIX
second :
ERASE_ALPHA
set the same key as before, but this time set it to RELEASE
that way you will be able to erase only while holding the eraser key, but you can also simply make only one keymap and click it to switch between modes.
Hope it Helps !
