Autodesk Sketchbook is one of the best drawing apps I've used.

FYI - Autodesk sold Sketchbook to 'Sketchbook Inc', and they have now made it a payed app for purchase only - ergo NO FREE VERSION anymore!

From Autodesk website:

"SketchBook is no longer available As of June 30, 2021, Autodesk is discontinuing SketchBook. We will no longer offer downloads for SketchBook or deliver any new versions or updates."

Sketchbook is my favorite drawing app so far. The interface is excellent: It does get out of the way and makes excellent use of marking menus which allow super quick actions without the use of keyboard shortcuts just by penstrokes. Frequently needed actions like resizing the brush or pan/zoom have their own controls, also appearing right at your mouse or pen.

A rather mundane but great feature is that there is no proprietary save format. It saves in tiffs or psd.

I heard that the applications can be buggy. So far I met small problems like the marking menu not always working smoothly when using the mouse.

While a previous version was free, the price is still pretty good – the most relevant competitor with a simple interface, ArtRage, costs more; free/libré tools like MyPaint or Krita have more complex interfaces without the on-canvas controls.

Don't use Paint, get one of these great drawing apps instead.

Drawing software are usually very rich in options and with interfaces that are often complicated, which creates a somewhat slow learning curve. But as soon as you master the concept it is really possible to manipulate the graphics in a breathtaking way. In this article, I am going to present you a selection of drawing and painting software that will allow you to reveal the artist inside you.
