anyone tried MyPaint for a Painter/Wacom replacement?

I like using MyPaint with my Wacom Graphire3 tablet every once in a while in a futile attempt to improve my computer sketching skills. While not perfect, the brush handling seems much better to me than in the Gimp.

btw - It's so frustrating to me that if you choose a large brush size in the Gimp - say for doing dodge and burn, or adding a vignette layer to a photo - the lag makes it almost completely unusable. Grrr.

My daughter seems to gravitate toward MyPaint now and again as a sort of step up from something like TuxPaint.

I'm trying to justify it to myself to get a larger tablet, but my sketching skills don't yet convince me. wink Case in point:

Re: What Graphic Apps do you use?

I haven't used MyPaint but Fab was talking about it on a recent Linux Outlaws. From what it sounds, it is quite good. Also, from what I've heard, they used the program some during the making of the Sintel movie.

Being a big GIMP fan.. I recently uncovered this.  Looks like a decent little painting solution.  GIMP Paint Studio
