Martin wrote a few prototypes, and applied what he’d learned in his engineering studies. His simple program grew into a brush editor with a simple digital canvas. In 2006 Martin released version 0.4, and thought it was complete. MyPaint now did everything he wanted it to do, but artists found it and began to use it. Some of them asked for features that Martin also wanted, so development continued. Since then, many more have contributed to the code, or spread the word about MyPaint on the Internet.

Gyors előre a mai napra. A MyPaint egy fürge, zavaró és egyszerű eszköz a digitális festők számára. Támogatja a Wacom grafikus tábláit és sok hasonló eszközt. Kefemotorja sokoldalú és konfigurálható, és hasznos, hatékony eszközöket biztosít.

A szabványos ecsetek képesek emulálni a hagyományos médiákat, például a szenet, ceruzát, tintát vagy festéket. De nem kell csak a standardokra korlátozódnia. Könnyű kifejező, művészi új ecseteket készíteni, amelyek nem reagálnak úgy, mint bármi hagyományos.

Fullscreen mode declutters the interface, leaving you with just your brush and your creativity. You can still reveal the tools you want, when you need them. This distraction-free approach means you can focus better on the art you make, not the tool you make it with.

MyPaint has simplicity, yet it gives you all the tools you need to create great artwork.

Many notable artists use MyPaint, including digital illustrator and concept artist David Revoy. You’ll find growing MyPaint user communities on DeviantArt and Tumblr. MyPaint comes from the Linux art world, but it has Mac OS X and Windows ports too. Now anyone can pick up MyPaint and draw to their heart’s content!
