Drawing Software For Mac Free



Made the switch to mac a while ago and am looking for simple graphic and drawing software for OSX (akin to MS Paint but better). My needs are simple – basic figures for reports mostly, but I want something shareware-y. Any suggestions?

This Mac drawing software holds all the aces when it comes to versatility. Sketch can be used to create professional artwork, draw and design websites and so much more. Sketch is a vector-based application with several features such as a toolbar, canvas, editable shapes and so much more. An easy way to compile and install GIMP and other great Free software on your Mac is by using Macports. The installer allows you to choose from a large directory of packages. To install gimp using Macports, you simply do sudo port install gimp once you have Macports installed.

You could try using Gimp for Mac. I used to use it and it’s a great free alternative to Photoshop.

Gimp is good but it can be complicated for new users. PaintBrush is great for simple stuff. I like having the two buttons for painting but it does the job.

http://www.pixelmator.com/ is very good.

But it isn’t free. It is cheap.

@johnpowell Oh yes it is good. I used to use it until I got Photoshop. Had no use for it then.

if your looking for vector

then inkscape is good.

Here is a really good site. It gives you opensource or free alternatives for all the main commercial software packages based on categories and rates them.

I am running OS X version 10.4.11 and am looking for a simple drawing/illustration application, I used to work with the earlier version of Canvas and it fit my needs easily. Now it seems when all I want is Volkswagen the only things available are Ferraris.
Any suggestions?

@RTSlater – Welcome to Fluther!

Paintbrush http://paintbrush.en.softonic.com/mac is very simple. You should also go to http://www.osalt.com/ and see what they have there. I have not used Canvas so I am not sure what level it is. But that site has a mess of free alternatives. Maybe you can find the right match for you.

I use sketchbook pro with a graphics tablet, pretty simple but effective. It’s not free though.
Also, check out ArtRage . I haven’t tried it yet, but it looks promising.

Krita is an application mainly focused on digital drawing, although it can also be used as an image editor, or even as a vector graphics tool. In the beginning it was developed for Linux as part of KDE and included in Calligra Suite. This version offers all the features of the original application, but now for the Mac environment.
The interface style is influenced by Adobe products, as well as by Corel digital drawing tools, so anyone who has used Photoshop before can quickly get the hang of it.
It includes a lot of different brush types and effects, the ability to work with layers, support for the most widely used image formats, palettes, cropping, and vector manipulation, as well as different retouching tools.
The best thing about it, though, is that it's an open source application under GNU license. This makes it a great alternative to Gimp, the most popular open source image editor by far.
