Editors' Review

MyPaint is an open-source and easy-to-use painting program. It has a large brush collection including charcoal and ink to emulate real media, but the highly configurable brush engine allows you to experiment with your own brushes and with not-quite-natural painting. Using MyPaint, you can draw or paint with a computer mouse – or your finger if you’re using a touchpad – is slow and tedious, so a digital stylus (pen) is highly recommended. MyPaint can be used as a virtual drawing tablet.
