From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I just got a drawing tablet, and have been wanting some software that would allow me to work out math problems, draw architecture diagrams, etc. I've seen some tools like Excalidraw, which look handy for the sharing capabilities. I also have just used plain krita, which has great feedback for the pen sensitivity, but obviously is overkill for whiteboarding.

Are there any tools you use or recommend for handwriting or picture drawing? Pen or mouse?

Storyboarder is definitely great, although I wouldn't say it's geared towards 2D animation. You could use it like a flipbook, but I think it's more suited towards Storyboard planning.

There's 2 modes, 2D sketching and 3D modeled posing, the latter of which is far, far faster to plot out scenes than hand drawing each one. Again, that doesn't mean you couldn't use it for 2D, just that it's not inherently designed for that process. Still, it's a great program that lets you add voiceovers, has multiple text boxes for details, and has a pretty decent selection of art tools.
