MyPaint VS SketchBook
Is MyPaint a good alternative to SketchBook?Comments about MyPaint as an Alternative to SketchBook
The pencil tool is like drawing on paper.
1it has good and innovative brushes. The interface is also easy to use and very adaptable. There is no text tool though.
0not the same amount of tablet-interaction i.e. in sketchbook you can use the pen to quickly zoom in-out but MyPaint needs you to go to the view tab. Also MyPaint lacks a 'fill' tool which is important for time saving in my work.
