Most coding, especially on projects like Krita, is exploratory. You figure out the right way while coding. I sometimes make a few diagrams before coding, just to mindmap, but the resulting code almost never looks like that. In my definitely not humble opinion, making uml designs before starting coding is a fallacy. A nice article on that topic: http://www.osnews.com/story/22135/The_Problem_with_Design_and_Implementation.
