How To Add A Cool Tattoo To Your Photo in Photoshop

2010-06-15 4 min read Photo

Ever thought about having a cool tattoo but not sure what it will look like?

using mypaint on Linux

Here is description of mypaint.

Mypaint is a fast and easy/simple painter app focused on the painter, so you can only focus on the art and not the program itself. Currently MyPaint does not have a layer system, also mypaint is using pygtk with C extensions.

My personal experience with the application was that the appllication does not have too many functionalities but is really very easy to use. Just select the brush and use it after invoking it. Here are some examples of the kind of effects that you can see with mypaint.
