I lost my work :-(

@Marsha-Kay-Ottum-Owen That. Friggin'. SUCKS. There's nothing worse than losing work to computer error.
I think it's possible to set up Krita to autosave if this is happening to you regularly.
-
After that happened to me once, I learned to always press ctrl+s very often.
-
Argh, I feel you, Marsha. So sorry this happened! I really do think that when you redo it you'd like it better, as @JennyJones said. But again, this sucks, and I'm sorry.
@Chip-Valecek said in I lost my work
:After that happened to me once, I learned to always press ctrl+s very often.
I do the same! Command + S as I'm a Mac user. Every 10 minutes or so or more, hahah.
-
Thanks for the sympathy, everyone
. And for the Ctrl S tip! -
Uuuuuuugh! That suuuuuucks! Sorry to hear that happened to you. I think it happens to everyone at some stage or another - and it's such a bummer when it does!! Like someone else mentioned, try focusing in the fact that you learned things when you did it (even if it was all lost) so you still gained a lot out of the process. x

Iām so sorry for you. Yeah, I hear that Krita crashes from time to time. This really stinks. It would definitely help to save your work as often as every hour.
-
I am so sorry this happened to you, absolutely vent. I can empathize, I once painted hours of hair and I was really loving it and lost it. I tried for several more hours to find it get it back and just ended up repainting. It was a lesson learned. I am sorry this happened to you
-
Well that's a bummer! The only thing I can say is something others have already mentioned...be sure to use ctrl + S shortcut very often! Two hours is not that bad though! (unless that's the whole time you have to draw each day) it's muuuch worse when you're doing something big and you're 10h+ into it
Look for positives though! If you're willing to take another shot at the same art piece, you've made some kind of 'test run' before that. It may be easier and quicker this time!

@lmrush oh no! That sounds horrible!
