Best drawing program tablet style ThinkPad

#1 Post by axmaxwell » Sun Dec 02, 2018 10:35 am

hi everyone
I've been working a lot with my x230t and the only thing I think is lacking is my ability to draw on it. Windows 10 standard drawing programs kind of suck. Looking for something not necessarily as advanced as Corel Draw, but a little bit more intuitive than Microsoft Paint

Paint.NET
Thinkpad4by3's Law of the Universe.

The efficiency of two screens equally sized with equal numbers if pixels are equal. The time spent by a 4:3 user complaining about 16:9 is proportional to the inefficiency working with a 16:9 display, therefore the amount of useful work extracted is equal.

Krita is a pretty nice program that is available for Windows, Mac & Linux.
It recently added SVG 1.1 support, so it is helpful if you have a simple vector from Inkscape.
Ever since Adobe bought Corel, I feel they hindered program development... but perhaps I've just too used to Photoshop & Illustrator.

Looks like I listened to someone about Adobe without fact checking them. :roll:

Art Rage is also very good for Windows! Sadly Art Rage is not available on Linux, but thankfully Krita is.
