good doodle app (hexbear.net)
submitted 1 month ago by Flyberius@hexbear.net to c/art@hexbear.net

Throughout my travels I've been taking pictures of my friends sleeping and editing them using the WhatsApp pencil to create a comic strip. This has worked really well, and I even made a stylus out a pen, a cue tip and some foil. However I feel I've reached the limit of what the WhatsApp pencil can offer me. Can anyone recommend a simple doodling app that will let me import a photo and then draw over it. Ideally I'd want the ability to have layers and and to cut and paste. Obviously an assortment of brushes would be fun too.

I have the app sketchbook, but it's a little too advanced for my needs and frustratingly also lacks some very simple features (such as deleting/copying selections).

Thank you comrades.

That's an amazing resource. Thank you very much.

I'm giving pocket paint a go. Looks like a good balance and it's open source.

Cool I hope it works out! That app behaved weirdly for me but it could have been due to my weird phone.

This website really helped me move to open source software. It lets you see how robust the options are, for a lot of use-cases, the FLOSS choice is better, more useful.
