Love that wet paint

I work with my ipad sitting up at a steep angle on its cover. It’s like my “canvas-” is sitting up on an easel. Yet no matter how much digital water i add to my brush, the colour does not all run downhill. It just spreads evenly outwards in all directions as though my canvas was lying down flat. 🤣😁😂
But seriously I do love this app. Love playing with those vector brushes too. At first i was a little grumpy at there being no pen tool until I realised that this is really a very cool re-imagining of the way we use vectors. Perhaps it is the beginning of the end of the pen tool. Watch a few youtubes of how the pros use Fresco vector drawing brushes and you quickly cotton on.
Good job Adobe! Never been more pleased to be a subsciber than when i realised what a little jewel was this app I could get for free thru my subscription.

Awesome app

Great verity of options on what pen or pencil you want to use and love the wet paint option. I also like how easy it is to use like it takes a few seconds to switch to a different brush, pen or pencil and even easier with favourites

Need the basics

This is a good drawing app although it is definitely a down grade from adobe draw, it should be better since I am forced to used it over adobe draw since it has been stopped. This app really needs the basics things that made adobe draw good for example I want to be able to trace basic shapes like a circle not have to free hand draw a circle and mess it up, the rubber is so bad bc there is no outline to the rubber so I can’t rub things out in detail. I am soo disappointed with this app as I loved adobe draw and thought it was the best drawing app available in the App Store.
