Mypaint 1.1 is now really able to do precise drawing, more technical, such as perspectives, or comics frames. This is not aimed to be a feature as flexible as in a vector programs (ex: Inkscape ) , but its now very capable to get the work done and having very cool results for your perspectives drawing, concept art of props , etc …

New layer blending modes <ul>
<li>
One of the revolution in the precedent release were the addition of 4 layer blending modes. Now, the number of them grew to 16 and are compatible with Krita ( for Gimp, still take care of two particularity : they have a ‘color’ mode incompatible with Mypaint and Krita, and also have a ‘overlay’ mode broken , a duplicate of the ‘soft light’ , probably solved in series post 2.8 ).
