What is MyPaint?
MyPaint is a fast painting program with an emphasis on full-screen use. It lets you focus on the art instead of the program. You work on your canvas with minimum distractions, bringing up the interface only when you need it. MyPaint supports pressure or tilt sensitive graphic tablets and comes with an easy-to-use brush collection. There is a complex interface for creating own brushes, focusing on brush dynamics (changes with speed, pressure, randomly).

Comments and Reviews
MyPaint is an excellent application for uncompromising sketches or drawings. The infinite canvas allows you to make drawings at will, without worrying about the space available in a "virtual paper". You can do a more serious job with this, but your options are limited.
Pretty damn good, actually. I love its clean interface. Great companion to Krita.
One of my favorite portable digital studio on the planet!
Pros: it's simple, fast-starting and the brushes work just as I expect them to. Cons: it's soooo slooow so I'm avoiding the use of some functions 'cause app hangs out. Keyboard shortcuts not working well. Right-click brings window's menu instead of color/brush adjuster.
My favorite portable digital studio on the planet!
I'm really impressed by this app. It's very lightway but features all neccessary functions to make impressive artwork. Also the brushes are astounding. The perfect tool to make sketches or paintings with a very flat learning curve.
This app is VERY SPECIFICALLY AIMED AT DRAWING.
This is NOT a general-purpose image editor.
You can't even select an area of an image, and people have been asking for that since 2016.
