Mypaint Review

Mypaint is an open source, cross platform, graphics editing and composing tool. It seems to follow in the same vein as ArtRage, trying to imitate the physical canvas.


Overall, the interface was extremely simple, not as pretty as ArtRage, but it worked well. The physical simulation/emulation is pretty basic, though it does work well with that unlimited canvas size which made it feel more seemless. The interface for Windows feels as though it might fly apart, as do many interfaces for Linux applications on Windows; not that it gets in the way of functionality.


It worked well for me, though I'm not much of an artist. It's free, so I'd be surprised if you were able to tell me why you shouldn't try it at least.


It was exactly what I was looking for in terms of drawing programs, one that emulates a physical canvas(at least somewhat), and aren't dealing with those vectors(which are annoying and lengthen the process greatly)
