MyPaint (open source painting)

We had a topic on this, but it's too old. Further more:

MyPaint

MyPaint is a fast and easy open-source graphics application for digital painters. It lets you focus on the art instead of the program. You work on your canvas with minimum distractions, bringing up the interface only when you need it.

Available for Windows and GNU/Linux
Designed for pressure sensitive graphics tablets
Simple and minimalistic user interface
Extensive brush creation and configuration options
Unlimited canvas (you never have to resize)
Basic layer support

MyPaint comes with 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. Before beginning it is a good idea to read the quick-start tutorial to see how the program is meant to be used. You can also visit the MyPaint Wiki.

You can also download extra brushes from the Wiki: http://wiki.mypaint.info/Main_Page


In case you'd like to try out the program, here are some examples

One thing I should note about this program, is that, it has a few bugs. If you find any, share them here: https://gna.org/bugs/?group=mypaint

It's great, but is there a way to create circles like in paint.net?

Unfortunately, no. It's really for just painting itself, it has a very natural feeling.

Darn.

Another one to look at is Paint Tool SAI if you don't like this. (Not saying this is bad I haven't even tried this)

I just realized that I have no artistic skill.

You don't need to be extremely talented to draw.

Looks a lot better than MSPaint. I'll try it out.
