    GIMP shares very little in common with MyPaint. MyPaint is a virtual canvas with a brush simulation engine that mimics physical art media for illustration and painting. GIMP is a raster processing suite.

    Very few similarities. GIMP is more similar to Photoshop-style applications than to MyPaint.
