like genuinely i think about trying to do this alot but i have zero understanding of how to begin any of it. problem i have with every program is that theres no fun tools like in mspaint or tuxpaint its just either the pencil tool or paint tool. i want like, heavypaint mixed with gimp. every program with good tools is very limited in terms of editing and layers and its bothersome having to open and transport it to several different programs to do various effects. i hate clipstudio it has this god awful neopet coin bullshit and social media subscription thing

This made me want to play with coding a painter, I made this one that is pretty simple, just a rainbow brush that changes size based on speed, but you can look through all the code and mess with it. I used p5 which is a framework for javascript that makes drawing graphics to a canvas quicker and easier.

I love krita its brush engine is really good. It can't do the "ribbon" type brushes that are in csp, the ones that are like a texture mapped to a ribbon. I don't use those kinds of brushes with preset graphics but the ribbon would be good for remaking the marker brush from windows vista ms paint

I never could figure out how to use any advanced brushes in my art, I've always stuck to the basic pixel brush. Anything else with slight complexity just enrages me and leaves me sobbing!!!

fun to mess with!
Im also curious how you could make a custom painting program on a personal website for fun, I used to mess with deviantart Muro sometimes and thought those tools p fun for what it was.

I was actually making my own piece of drawing software. it was made in python, but it was very, very barebones. only had a couple brush sizes and RGB colors plus black and white. might revisit it at some point.

It's called Dudle, i should probably start working on it again, i'd love to have a piece of software to call my own and maybe draw some more complex stuff in. it could be like a piece of oekaki software, nothing too grand or complex.
it utilizes the kivy framework
It does not have a GUI, you change colors and size at the press of a key
- and + change brush size
1-5 on the numrow or numpad change brush color
