Hello community!!

I'm new to all of this, Just got my N900, my first Nokia device obiously my first Maemo experience I feel finally comfortable, free.

Well I'm not hacker or similar, I'm graphic designer/illustrator/photographer so you may understand my tendence to art, the by all I know if there is a platform where possibilities are high is in Maemo one of the thing I need to feel better is something where I can do sketches, I don't like my friends walks alone with their iPhones doing stuff while I can do mine, later I will post my review at amazon with more requests but in this Thread I'll just ask for a relative basic illustration tool.

Enough by now, let me know if there is something for me, even if is not free but is good enough I'm getting it.

Have a quick search for myPaint - I believe there's an n900 version available that might be what you're looking for.

I gather maePad is also on the way. http://thpmaemo.blogspot.com/2010/02...r-maemo-5.html

You might want to look at that. Though I've seen some amazing stuff created just with sketch. (Check at about 3.40 mins)

Well, MaePad is not an art app (just a basic sketcher), and myPaint is kinda unusable on the tablet (at least the version I have seen).

At 4:00 he's drawing on the screen with a pencil!

I use Xournal for sketching. It is really good for that, even if it gets a little bit slow when you've painted for a while...

Hello people thanks for the replies!

I already tried xournal, daddeddad is right, it get slow with the work progress, myPaint is the more promising option I see by now, maepad looks good too, but they appear to need some additional work before a none expert user like me to adventure the non finished software.

I guess will need to wait a bit more for those interesting good app, common team hurry up!!

You could always use gimp with easy debian. Obviously its not going to be as fast as a desktop, but it is usable.
