It should be noted that it's also the case that a number of the programs proposed here are free or have a trial version :įree: MyPaint, Krita, GIMP, GrafX2, MTPaint, Aseprite Personally this is why I find Krita and especially MyPaint's painting more approachable and understandable than other apps.

which are all just part of 'the brush system's of Krita and MyPaint. Photoshop (or GIMP) actually has *more* individual tools for different paint types than Krita and Mypaint : Pen/Ink, Smudge, etc. drawing straight lines, connected straight lines, curves, ellipses or boxes they affect only the (virtual) pressure and location that the brush is applied with. The only 'special tools' are precision-related: eg.

Actually this is false: For both Krita and MyPaint, brushes near-entirely determine the painting behaviour.
