Tux Paint - Macintosh version

 * A fun, free, and useful drawing program for children ages 3 to 12 and filmmakers. It combines an easy-to-use interface with fun sound effects while drawing pictures. Versions available for most operating systems, large and small.

Tux Paint - Macintosh version

 * I am reviewing the Macintosh OS X version. There are versions for a dozen other operating systems.


 * While this is a program for kids, it has some unique features useful for filmmakers. In the future, Wikiversity will create templates and stamps so this program can be used for rapid thumbnail storyboarding.


 * Anyone interested in filmmaking should immediately download this free program. It is fun!

 * Four Stars


 * For filmmakers who want to create thumbnail storyboards, a set of templates (for the various frame sizes) and stamps (for the various poses of human figures) still need to be created.
