MyPaint – Open-Source Graphics Application for Digital Painters

MyPaint is a drawing tool which is a new and simple Microsoft paint application that is used to create simple or elaborate drawings. It includes a bulk of options through which you can make your paint attractive and impressive as well.

The paint is carried out on a tablet or a touch enable machine. Which means as you hold a marker if you hold this down your finger the ink goes darker. You can pick a color for your diagram from the color wheel using a color ring (Color –> Color Ring) tool and also pick the color from off the wheel as well, and this is done using a Color Triangle tool (Colors –> Color Triangle)

Now that you have picked a color that goes well with your pint you would now probably need to know what kind of brush that is to be used. The different types of brush collections that are available in the service are Sketch Pencils, ink, charcoal and more.

A special feature of this application is it layers where you can go for a layer text or an image layer on the top and yet again you can add a layer below it and continue with the paint and for this all you need to do is to click on the “layers->new”
