It’s almost like MS Paint, in some ways, that I also use, etc. I love the simplicity, how it’s for lack better word, photoshop, but for non - artists. after long break, one day want to paint a little, takes 5 - 10 minutes, one is working. Sort-of, I’m not an artist, and, mypaint is the ’ painting ’ program I’ve been looking for, super - easy, not many bells-and-whistles, easy to learn, and, doesn’t take so long, to re-learn, ie. It makes it bit easier to overview what one works on. One thing I’d like, was a sort-of auto-frame, on start-up, so for instance there was an area, that was say 1920x1080, so one could see the ‘frame’, not as a toggle, just default open screen. Can’t really fault mypaint anything, and I hope the devs keep making that, adding to it cautiously, where possible. However, mypaint is a PAINT program, it’s perhaps a brush - engine, rest is up to the artist. I’d also like something like ’ shear ', or so. If there’s any negative, it is that some of the very best brushes, say water - color from Krita, that is VERY cool, really looks, or ‘works’ similar traditional painting stuff, isn’t there.

I only hope to see it get more of that, and, perhaps a few expert features, hidden away in menus, for some super - pro stuff. Mypaint is beginner - friendly, also, quite good for being productive, one can make amazing things. mypaint has that simplicity, and, for lack of better word, is almost as if MS Paint, was also for illustrators, like ’ good ’ art, or so.

Tried Krita, was super - complex, I ended up choking bec. There are very few buttons, it’s sort-of simple to use, somewhat simple to remember, and, getting some overview, is also easy.

For me, mypaint is almost ideal paint program.
