TuxPaint.org

I love this application, when I originally reviewed it, I was using Microsoft Windows XP. This time it is Ubuntu 7.10 and I have to say, that I am impressed with how responsive the package is, very nice work. Anyway, Tux Paint is an art package designed for young children and it is perfect!

Oh and if your interested, any pictures your child draws and saves are in .tuxpaint/saved of their home directory as PNG files.

Isao Maruoka, Pixia

Pixia is an interesting art package which contains many powerful features, that are all jammed into a tiny download. However, I wouldn't say Pixia was a bad art package, nor could I rave about it. Its development seems to have been driven by its fan/user base, which makes worth a look, if only to e-mail the author a comment.

Requirements:
Microsoft Windows XP
