I want a software that can make sketches on lubuntu and also has ability to save it.

The program must work in 512 mb or less RAM and thus I cannot use a heavy-weight - memory intensive - solution

Also, I want it for my 10 year old sister who has less knowledge

Pencil

Install via the software center

It is for draw cartoons. But it is so easy to use.

Also easy to install.(Around 1 Mb to download).

Also can make animations from drawings.(There is a timeline). That gives a basic skill for Blender.

Can save image in diffrent formats.

sudo apt-get install pencil

** If in Ubuntu 12.04 or older:

sudo apt-get install libming1

Then install from above link with Software Centre

enter image description here

To Save the created picture Go to File Menu and select Export Option. Then Select Image Sequence. If you Want to save it as a Catoon, select, Movie or Flash/swf Option.

Then, if it is a Picture, in Forth-comming Export as dialog, type file name as [Filename].png or .jpg

Try Inkscape.

An Open Source vector graphics editor, with capabilities similar to Illustrator, CorelDraw, or Xara X, using the W3C standard Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file format.

Inkscape supports many advanced SVG features (markers, clones, alpha blending, etc.) and great care is taken in designing a streamlined interface. It is very easy to edit nodes, perform complex path operations, trace bitmaps and much more. We also aim to maintain a thriving user and developer community by using open, community-oriented development.Inkscape

You can download 0.48.4 from Inkscape, or click Inkscape Install comixcursors-lefthanded to install 0.48.1 from Ubuntu Apps.

You might want to give "Tuxpaint" a shot, you can find it in the Ubuntu Software Center or install it by running the following in a terminal sudo apt-get install tuxpaint

If Tuxpaint is a bit too childish for a 12-year old, you could also try GIMP or GNUpaint - both are available at the Ubuntu Software Center as well.

Have fun!
