I use MyPaint for sketching, line art, and cel shading. I like it for its distraction-free infinite canvas and its brush engine. While I do sketches freehand, I do the other steps a bit differently. MyPaint has a unique line tool that bends and lets me draw precise curves. With practice, I've gotten to the point where I use it like in the videos below.
I started making these short videos 1) as proof that I'm not using AI and 2) to showcase the unusual method that I use. I'm not sure anyone else uses this technique. (I could upload the videos directly in this post, but the filesize for each is too heavy, so I linked the ones that I've already uploaded to X instead.)
And here are the finished works, except I haven't gotten around to finishing the one for Sampaguita.
"Kimoi Badniks"
"Jackie Frost"
"Cheerleader Ming-ming"
I also made a written tutorial that attempts to explain how I do lineart.
