    MyPaint vs Mischief Comments
    BlueTen
    Positive

    MyPaint offers a very similar drawing experience to Mischief. You have an infinite canvas and can draw/paint forever in any direction. With it being a raster-based program, you are limited in how far you can zoom in and out, and how much detail you can cram into a small space, so there are naturally some tradeoffs.

    Pros: More tools, more brush customization, an open file format compatible with Krita

    Cons: No vector painting
