tux paint!! used this a LOT as a kid. love it
I really like to challenge myself by using weird art programs from around >:]
the stuff that isn't very HQ, or if it is it's still kind of funky or unique in some way
chickenpaint, mspaint, disney's magic art studio.... lol
I don't know very many actually so, I am desperate for suggestions!
free/cheap are preferred, but any suggestions are welcome <3
and if you wanna share any examples you've done with a weird program; please do!
i feel like it's not quite what you're asking for but Corel Painter is a program specifically made to imitate traditional materials and man it's WEIRD, especially the watercolor brushes, i don't really draw in it, i just smear paint around and watch it bleed/dry on the canvas, it's a frickin stim toy of the world of drawing programs
https://internet-janitor.itch.io/wigglypaint free in-browser silly thing
js kidpix (kidpix in your browser!)
also those glow paint apps i played around with a lot on the app store when i was a kid. there's many of them out there
I sometimes use Scratch Vector or Bitmap editor for art!
Though, you might need an account to save your work, unless you download it.
realistic paint studio rules and it's on $10 but there's also a free trial
edit: wait whaat it used to be 10 i guess now it's 50… huh… well anyway you can use the free trial indefinitely
i've tried heavypaint and found it quite fun!
kidpix 3d and cosmic blobs is pretty fun. kidpix 3d works on windows 11 for me but i run blobs on a windows xp virtual machine
