What do you like best about MyPaint?

In the past, this program was a fantastic, simple way to draw or paint, offering a simple and responsive interface without the hassle of other features that would go mostly unused. The application didn't seem as heavy as Photoshop or Sketchbook Pro.

I still use an older version because it runs great and doesn't hog my system's resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MyPaint?

Recent updates (for Windows) have been plagued with serious lag issues, making it difficult to use. The brushes need a little polishing up and refinement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering MyPaint:

What do you like best about MyPaint?

The application has infinite canvases, configurable brushes, support for graphic tablets and a full screen mode without distractions, in addition to a simple GTK + 3 interface. It uses Open Raster as the default file format, but it also supports saving images in PNG or JPEG. Besides that it is a free tool and you can use it without having any problem with the payment you can attach it to your digitizing tablet to have a better control of the design of your designs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MyPaint?

It has no negative point. This software is actually very useful at all times. It allows you to create drawings and put them into effect in the way you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Open source, lots of brushes, simple GUI, easy to use, brush smoothing, symmetry tool and the high quality of the lines using the line tools and mouse. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MyPaint?

The default hotkeys are different from the standard, but this is simple to fix. Sometimes a bug occurs, and I'm unable to perform any action, but the program still recognizes hotkeys and this happens quite often. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering MyPaint:

MyPaint is free and lightweight, don't eat your computer resources, easy to learn, different types of drawing tablet works with it, and if you want to use a mouse instead, the line tools are excellent. From time to time I like to use MyPaint with a mouse to create pencil line art. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do a lot of sketches. I find the brushes perfect for this and I don't need to make a lot of changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about MyPaint?

It`s lightweight, has native stabilization, a wide selection of brushes, you can use both "Line and Curves" and "Inking" to create line art, cheap drawing tablet works fine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MyPaint?

Undo feature needs a little more improvement, when selecting brushes sometimes the GUI glitches and you can't draw until you press ESC, rapid motions with drawing tablet create sharp lines instead of smooth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering MyPaint:

MyPaint is the perfect solution for those who are running on a tight budget since it's free. After a few minutes, you'll start to get used to the hotkeys and to configure the brushes to suit your tastes. You can use a drawing tablet, and thanks to the advanced options for lines, you can easily use a mouse. And since MyPaint is open-source, your feedback will be valuable and necessary to make MyPaint a better tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is MyPaint solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use MyPaint for small projects where I don't need to too many details and to sketch. MyPaint has an incredible pencil brush, and I love to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes when I try to change the brush using the bottom right corner while using a drawing tablet, I can't interact with the program until I press a key, usually ESC. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
