  • Like the tools but

    So far I really like the tools much better than any other drawing app. The close-up feature that let's you work on details is great. The pencil is much finer than other apps and the color mixing on the $2 full version is much easier to figure out. The big flaw is I can't find any way to share to Facebook and when you hit the save to photo gallery button, which is a little flower with an arrow...it simply doesn't work. I suppose there is some kind of secret trick to get it to work, by why not just have it save to photos when you hit the save to photos button. And the share button only takes you to share on email or twitter (?). So these people haven't heard of Facebook, apparently. Bottom line, you can make much better drawings with it...but keeping them and sharing the is very flawed.

  • Very good but could be improved

    Overall it's a great app, however the way the selection of items is laid out is not optimum. For instance the eraser should be available all the time instead one has to close the palette and then select the eraser every time. Besides being time consuming is not practical. Also good on the animals icons but I would include also people. If you can address these two points it can become a truly 5-star app since it has some stunning features otherwise.

  • Cooler than you think

    I would not call it a serious app but it offers some serious tools and even gives lessons on ways to us it. There's a vectoring ability and mirrored page option. A selection of unusual but useful brushes is offered, and chalk, will pen, sketch pencils all use a huge variety of colors that are labeled with helpful for night, warmth, skin, metal, pearl and so on. There's also a lot of clip wrt like options like frames, flowers, bugs, leaves, rhinestones, bubbles, musical and fonts that are more for entertainment than artistic exploration. Some may feel these are ok to include in original art and in very small doses that's not impossible. However there's a cheat hovering over anything you create when you rely on images that generic.
    I am still going to see what I can do and for$4 this is a go to app for coloring book, colorful graphics , simple finger panting and will keep a kid of any age engaged for hours.

  • Update

    Hi just down loaded the update. I haven't used the new features yet....just looked through the interface...I like this program and have had it for a while. I must say tho I don't care for the new logo and interface design. The changes gave me the impression of a cheap or not a program for the semi serious creators. The other interface was much more professional looking yet kept the fun element included. Will report back on the other chances when I try them out! Dawn

  • Good drawing app!

    This is the first time out with this app, but I found it fun to use and easy to get in to. It didn't take long poking around the interface to achieve pleasing results. I look forward to running through the lessons!
  • Best drawing app.

    Many option fantastic colors and customizable. The is the best drawing app I have found so far. I'm still learning the additional options that it has. Also the free version is just as great so you don't have to pay to play.
  • Terrific drawing app!

    This is an amazing drawing app, for kids and adults alike. Much less expensive than many others that don't provide as many features. I would recommend this to anyone interested in art and drawing.
  • Amazing value

    This is a surprisingly useful app with so many features. The price can't be beat for the functionality, and I love that it has stuff that kids can use, yet it's got enough solid tools to make some quality illustrations, sketches, and other digital images. Nice work. Love it!
  • Good, overall

    This is a good app over all. It has many features and draws nicely the only things I do not like is that it has so many tools it can be hard to navigate around. I feel like if the tools were grouped in a pop up so you could see more at once and not have to scroll through each set to find what you are liking for that would be great. Also if it had a brush size adjustment, instead of only having 3 brush sizes that would be better. I also do not like that if you want just plain white paper you have to scroll half way down the paper types to find it. I would recommend it.

  • 5-stars but for more papers!

    5 stars when the creators add more backgrounds, like parchment papers, OR allow photos to be imported into the app for use as backgrounds!!

    This is the BEST painting app I have used so far on iPad! i'm a professional artist and i use Drawing Box to do all my underpaintings, before i start the really detailed work in other apps. My 7-yr-old loves Drawing Box, especially the stamps and the mirroring feature! There's a LOT more to this app than shown in the screenshots. Try the chalk with the extended "paint tube" palette and you'll be amazed at how closely you can mimic woodcuts, scumbled paintings and finger-blended oil pastels.
