MyPaint comes with a large brush collection including charcoal and ink to emulate real media, the highly configurable brush engine allows you to experiment with your own brushes. It is similar to Paint in windows but with lot of brushes. Before beginning using MyPaint it is a good idea to read the quick-start tutorial to see how the program is meant to be used.
