I have tried many digital painting Apps in my day. Over the years I have been on a continuous quest for the App that does it best. As close to the real tools as possible. With my beloved Wacom 12x9 I have become quite used to the digital painting phenomenon.
MyPaint, short on name, tall on ability. Though I did notice a marked difference in features between the Linux and the Windows version.
I would strongly recommend trying out this amazing painting tool.
Success, I have found a replacement for PainterXI. In every critical way, MyPaint does a better job. In fact, I've tested Painter8, Deep Paint, Photoshop7/CS1/CS2/CS3, Krita (linux), Paint.net, ArtRage, and a few others...
Clearly to me, MyPaint scores the highest in the coveted 'realism' department. Not so much it's ability to convincingly simulate goo, or watercolour, no it's the ultra-responsive smoothness that I want. Using a blending stump, or a pencil, it's the closest digital package has come to the real feel and performance of these real world tools, IMO.
Note: upgrading to 10.10 will ensure better tablet compatibility. If not for MyPaint, than for Gimp. 10.10 brings pressure sensitivity to Gimp.
