7.1.3
December 29, 2024
Art Challenge projects - a new way to exercise your creativity and strengthen your artistic skills.
Redesigned Colors panel - added new tabs and settings.
New Lighting orb - bring depth to your flat colors by adding light and shadow.
Simplified New Canvas screen - setting up a canvas should be simple, so should the screen.
From Image screen - it’s so much easier to set up a project with a reference image or an image to trace over.
Recent brushes - no need to dig through the brushes to find which ones you’ve used.
Recent colors - we keep 10 of your last colors for quick, easy access at the top of the new Palettes tab.
New color palettes - we worked with a talented digital artist to create beautiful (and highly useful) color palettes.
Multi-palette support - load up multiple palettes to use in your projects.
Smart Clipping for Panels - draw inside a panel and the app automatically clips your content to that panel. Smart, eh?
Sample current layer - the Eyedropper now supports sampling all layers or only the current layer.
Floating swatch - drag out from the color comparison (top of the Colors panel) to set a dynamic color swatch directly on the canvas. View color changes in realtime (in context)!
Compare tone setting - compare the tone (value) of the color in the color comparison at the top of the Colors panel.
Several other bug fixes and improvements.
Keep creating! :)
I’ve been using this app for a while now, and to give you some background, I'm a professional traditional artist making the switch to digital. I started out testing various free apps like this one, and I have to say, it has some excellent brushes and tools. Even if you have to pay for certain features, it truly feels worth it because the app allows you to draw comfortably.
That said, I’ve run into a few issues. For instance, while I was drawing, the app crashed and booted me out, which was frustrating. The second time I encountered a similar problem, the eraser tool kept behaving like the smudge tool, which threw me off; I ended up having to restart my phone just to get it working again. Additionally, there are times when the brushes change unexpectedly, and I'm not sure if these glitches stem from the app itself, but they definitely feel like it since I haven't experienced this in any of my other drawing programs.
Overall, it’s a great app, and I just wish they could iron out these issues.
