Fantastic- but,,

/why/ does it interrupt one’s drawing every time the canvas is flipped - that unskippable pause and full screen grey out - :( - no option to turn it off. - Other: not able to set eraser to a different brush then what is selected for drawing & painting - wanting charcoal texture eraser for oil and vice versa - Accessibility: high contrast mode - it’s hard to tell sometimes what’s being clicked out the change in hues is so fine - Good work with this - your brush engine is chef kiss - some tweaks with flow improvement could make this a main drawing app for us

Love the originality and uniqueness of this app!

I am just playing around with it and I’m not even sure how I stumbled upon it but since it was free to download and I thought why not? And I’m super impressed! It is not your average drawing/painting app. It’s very minimalistic but the tools are impressive. There are multiple color picker options meaning multiple ways to choose whatever color which I found was super unique and I played around with that alone for a good 5 minutes. I love that you can save in very high quality. The background/textures that you choose from are fine and I like that you can customize how your strokes interact with the canvas texture you have set as the background. I do wish I could save without a background/paper texture. For nearly all the digital art I do, I always save in full transparency PNG format and I can’t seem to do that here so that’s really the main qualm I have and it’s a big one, for me at least. I couldn’t even get a perfect white paper background no matter how hard I tried. They were all off white and so I uploaded a picture of my own to use but still not great as I had to crop and edit it down just for it to be able to load into the program but anyways, now I’m just rambling. I will continue to play with it. I hope they don’t let it go to waste although I know developing and maintaining an app can be costly. All in all, I would definitely recommend giving this a try, especially if you’re a traditional artist and want more of a ‘realistic’ look or feel. I hope they can keep up with this app, the developers have done great 👍 😊

App tech issues

Hi I was just trying out this new app I discovered on my iPad when I downloaded and went into the app the screens were blank therefore I can’t see the canvas or anything paint settings to show on the screen I also did a few strokes with my apple pencil and it ended up glitch me back to the Home Screen, so I tried it on my iPhone and it did really well as it was supposed to be shown when I download but I was hoping if The app can be fixed for iPads Because this app seems interesting to test out as an Artist and looking forward to what it can do, thank you for your time 👋🙂
