Looking for a very simple drawing app that supports pen sensitivity, suggestions anyone?


Krita(and others) have a complex interface suited for big projects. For some psychological reason, that inability to launch an app and be drawing in less than a second demotivates me to practice sketching. There are some nice simple drawing apps out there, such as Gnome Drawing, but they lack pen sensitivity support which is a no go for me.

Does anyone know of an app that would fit my needs? Of course, being opensource is an absolute must.

I thought GIMP had pressure support? I'm sure I read it somewhere.

It does, and I used to use it, but the UI is just as complex as Krita so it isn't really launch-n-go.

Fair enough, have to admit I only use my tablet and display tablet with Photoshop / Windows.

Well the Krita interface is flexible and can be simplified, but startup can take a bit of time. (Though if motivation fades in thirty seconds, was it really there? *shrug*)

Anyhow, I haven't used it, but MyPaint might be what you're after. There's also some Japanese software AzPainter which may or not be any good.

Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for. I also like the infinite canvas more than I thought I would.

It's more an issue of getting started, once I'm drawing and in the flow I really enjoying it.
