Linux Art Programs

Rogan: okay, so it looks like Clip Studio Paint is no longer a program I can rely on, because I can’t get it to work reliably on Linux and my Windows 7 partition looks like it can no longer be activated. At this point, I think I’d rather just find a new Linux-native art program than stay in Microsoft’s clutches.

I already have GIMP but it’s like drawing with a blunt ballpoint pen. And sometimes that’s what I need, but I loved Clip Studio Paint for its lush brush pen and pencil brushes; I loved not having to erase line ends to make them pointy, I loved being able to lock individual layers or insta-colorize or screentone them. Those were the primary features I used.

I overwhelmingly draw in black and white, maybe four layers tops. I hand-letter everything. Any recommendations?
