Drawpile vs Krita
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Drawpile
Drawpile is a collaborative drawing program that lets multiple people draw, sketch, paint and animate on the same canvas simultaneously. The Android version works on both tablets and phones. The program is built for use primarily with a pressure-sensitive pen, but drawing via touch is also possible. If you have any questions, need help with anything or can't manage to get the application working, check out the help page on drawpile.net on how to get in contact!
Krita
Krita is a professional painting program. It is made by artists that want to see affordable art tools for everyone. It's designed primarily for digital painting and 2D animation and features an OpenGL-accelerated canvas, colour management support, an advanced brush engine, non-destructive layers and masks, group-based layer management, vector artwork support and switchable customisation profiles. Note: android version of krita is optimized only for tablets and may behave poorly on phone screens.
