This article mainly introduces how to install and use Drawing in Linux, which has certain reference value. Interested friends can refer to it. I hope you will gain a lot after reading this article. Let Xiaobian take you to understand it together.

Drawing is an extremely simple mobile phone painting software that helps zero-based friends copy applications. The software has a rich collection of patterns, and friends who use the software can freely choose colored samples.

Drawing: A Simple Linux Drawing Application

Microsoft Paint is an interesting app for people who have been using computers since Windows XP (or earlier), and it's an app for sketching. In a world dominated by Photoshop and GIMP, drawing apps still have some relevance. There are several painting apps available for Linux, and I plan to add another to this list.

The app is unsurprisingly called Drawing and you can use it on Linux desktops and Linux smartphones.

Drawing Application Features

Drawing has all the features you would expect from a drawing app. You can:

Create a new drawing from scratch Edit an existing PNG, JPEG, or BMP image file Add geometry, lines, arrows, etc. Dashed lines Freehand with the Pencil tool Crop an image Scale an image to a different pixel size Add text Select a portion of an image (Rectangle, Free Selection, and Color Selection) Rotate an image Add an image copied to the ClipboardEraser available in Preferences, Highlighter, Paint Bucket, Color Selection, Color Selector Tool Infinite Undo filters can add blur, pixelization, transparency, and more

My experience with Drawing

This app is new and has a nice user interface. It has all the basic features you would expect to find in a standard painting app.

It has some additional tools, such as color selectors and color pickers, but can be confusing when used. There is no documentation describing the use of these tools, so it's up to you to figure them out.

The experience is smooth, and as an image editing tool, I think this tool has great potential to replace Shutter (yes, I use Shutter to edit screenshots).

I find it most annoying that elements cannot be edited/modified after they are added. You have undo and redo options, but if you want to modify a text you added 12 steps ago, you have to redo all the steps. Here are some of the improvements developers may want to make in future releases.

Installing Drawing on Linux

This is a Linux-specific application. It also works with Linux-based smartphones such as PinePhone.

There are many ways to install Drawing. It is available in the repositories of many major Linux distributions.

Ubuntu-based distribution

Drawing is included in Ubuntu's universe repository, which means you can install it from the Ubuntu Software Center.

However, if you want the latest version, there is a PPA that makes it easy to install Drawing on Ubuntu, Linux Mint, and other Ubuntu-based distributions.

Use the following command:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cartes/drawingsudo apt updatesudo apt install drawing

If you want to delete it, you can use the following command:

sudo apt remove drawingsudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:cartes/drawing

other Linux distributions

Check if Drawing is available in your distribution's package manager and install it there. If you want the latest version, you can use the Flatpak version of the app.
