Honestly? The best drawing app.

For a mobile drawing app, this has everything you need. It has a huge range of all brushes, pens, erasers, and tools, including symmetry, fill, and rulers. It has layers, colour picker, and you can customise your brushes to the finest detail, like its size, pressure, and opacity.
And all of this is for free. Most of the other top drawing apps need a paid subscription to be able to use its full functions. You can’t get a better app that has everything you need, for free. So honestly? In my opinion, this is the best for artists on mobile.
Anyone who reads this, I would definitely recommend this app. 🙂

Two Flaws

This is is best drawing app in my opinion, and in the year I have used this, I have found two flaws. Number one is when I'm trying to blur a background to give a piece more depth. I think a 'Blur' tool would really benefit the art that I (and many others) produce. Like on computer. I haven’t yet tried AutoDesk on my computer, but I know it has a blur tool. So if you could, ya’ know, bring that in to the iOS version... And I'm very messy with my layers. I'll have like, twenty dedicated to one character. This is why I think layer folders or some other form of clean organising would benefit. I find the colour labels you can add just make everything a whole bunch more confusing, but that's probably just me. I do think this app really could benefit from that. Four stars! I love the large selection of brushes, and the fact that it's now completely free! Overall, it's an amazing, free drawing app that is missing a few minor things that I could to without. That's all from me, I hope you take my suggestions into account.

Professional for free!

Wow I just got into digital drawing and honestly this is amazing. It has everything I could ever need- blending tools, brushes of different varieties, image import, layers, even a help center to give direct and simple instructions!

There are also no adds! It literally just leaves you in peace to do whatever. This is the only time it asked for a review so i was happy to give it one.

Not only does it work with an Apple Pencil but it works with fingers and other utensils too. I have this on my iPad mini 5 and I highly doubt I will ever go to a different app.
