Krita is cool if you have a big screen. Also hand-taking note apps can work for the simple ones.
Silly Drawing Requests
An accepting, humorous, and social community to request and share drawings inspired by this post. No drawing is bad unless it violates the rules.
This community was originally on @lemmy.autism.place before the instance announced that it is being shut down.
How to
- Make a post requesting a specific drawing.
- Respond to request posts by adding your submission as a comment to the post.
- Comment submissions as you please.
Rules
- Drawings must somehow match the request.
- Do not submit your own drawing in a post. Instead, submit it as a comment to your post.
- Follow instance rules (sopuli.xyz sidebar). Summary: Remember the human.
- No AI generated drawings.
- Try to keep top level comments in request posts as submissions.
Encouraged
- Fun enjoyable drawings without considerable concern for their quality

- Ridiculousness
- Enjoyable praise and conversations

- High quality drawings that are humorous or creative
Tips
On android I use FOSS Pocket Paint!
- Fdroid: https://f-droid.org/packages/org.catrobat.paintroid/
- Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.catrobat.paintroid
Edit: good post, I'll add a link to this post in the sidebar when I get home!
Edit2: added it to the sidebar. Hope we can get some people on iOS to give recommendations as well
Thanks :)
For iOS, I'll ask some friends and see what they recommend
Edit:
I got a recommendation for the built in notes app, using the draw feature
Holy crap, pocket paint is SO GOOD. I was using simple draw before, which didn't have the zoom window to see where you're drawing, or layers, or a good UI.
Absolute game changer.
I was also impressed by it!
In case you are interested, I found it in this list I use to find nice FOSS app recommendations: https://github.com/Psyhackological/AAA?tab=readme-ov-file#Introduction
On the FOSS Android side
- https://github.com/SimpleMobileTools/Simple-Draw (no Fossify version yet from what I can tell)
- https://github.com/T8RIN/ImageToolbox (Create > Draw > Draw on Background)
I've been using FreePaint from F-Droid. Not sophisticated, but exactly what I was looking for.
I use ~a cracked version of~ IbisPaint, it's available in many platforms, but it's not FOSS. FreePaint (F-Droid) kind of works, but you need to have in mind that it doesn't opens saved drawings, sometimes it restarts, and if you JUST TOUCH the screen, it crashes.
