      GIMP is a photo editor; it's possible to use it for digital drawing, but very complicated and not user-friendly.

      Almost everyone thinks Krita is a great alternative to FireAlpaca.
      My sister uses it and it is amazing for drawing if you have a drawing pad to connect to the computer.

      lian00 Krita is much more powerful than FireAlpaca for drawing and painting. There is no real comparison possible. FireAlpaca is a light/simple drawing software with poor brush engine and Krita is a complete drawing and painting solution (and manages animation too).

      It isn't a very good drawing app, FireAlpaca is much better but fades away over time.
