United StatesCalligraphy Calm - Ink Painter is a minimalist art app in the tradition of Chinese and Japanese painting and calligraphy. Create a realistic, fluid ink painting effect on your iPhone and iPad with the swipe of your finger! Practice the art of simplicity and capture the essence of your subject. OUR BRUSHES Our brushes create a dynamic 'tapered' line effect, which produces a beautifully organic feel for handwritten typography and drawing. Try overlaying brush strokes and you will find the ink colors merge with the paper texture. Move your finger QUICKLY to increase the thickness of the line and SLOWLY to get a really thin line. This is what makes our brushes unique. Bigger brushes produce a rougher line texture.

Need erase button that
Wish I could erase the whole canvas with one tap. I don’t like that I have to hit X then delete.
United StatesAmazing Calligraphy Resource
I’m so thankful that I found this app. Calligraphy is a huge source of stress relief for me. I practice Japanese calligraphy. But due to my disability, I sometimes cannot practice calligraphy with a traditional brush and paper. These times, I get really stressed with no way of relieving it. However, I found this app during a time of great stress, and to my delight, it reproduces brush strokes really well! The blank canvas with the three different brush sizes lets me express what I need to express in an easy, accessible manner. Well done!
United StatesA Simple App both Brilliant and Powerful
I am now 81 with health and mobility issues that prevent my doing the "real world" sumi-e painting I so enjoyed for so many years. This App now gives me a sense of that same joy and wonder with just the use of my finger and I am profoundly grateful to its developers for this reclaiming. It's simplicity is powerful and brilliant and can easily be used by both beginners and lifelong sumi-e painters with great joy and satisfaction. Try it. It will change your life.
United StatesFrustrating
I use this app on my iPad Mini and for a long time was very satisfied. However, the app now crashes frequently without saving what I’ve done, despite the fact I “saved” it repeatedly as I went. It’s disheartening to work so hard and long on a drawing or painting only to lose it all when it’s halfway done.
United StatesGood but could be better
Update: I like the new colors, but the app is crashing frequently without saving what has been done. It’s frustrating to spend extended time on a drawing only to lose it. I enjoy drawing with this app. It’s easy to use, but the colors are so limited. More color choices would be a welcome addition.
United StatesNot user friendly
There’s no tutorial to help beginners get started, no real calligraphy teaching at all. Just has a few letters to trace but nothing to teach a user the basics of starting calligraphy. Everything has to be a chargeable upgrade in order to get what I’m looking for, which isn’t helpful. I’m about ready to just delete the app and get a calligraphy kit vs trying on my iPad… very disappointing to say the least!
