楽しくつかわせていただいてます!

いつも楽しく使わせていただいております!最近に関してはアニメイラストの模写などもかなり減っており、運営さんの努力を感じられます!レイヤー機能など便利になって来ており、不満と言っても全然思いつかないぐらいです!ですが、1つ思ったのが、たまーに企画として吹き出しに文字を書こう!みたいなのがあり、それで文字を書き、投稿し、注意される、ということがあるので、そのような企画はダメだよーというのをガイドラインに追加して欲しいと思っております。いつも楽しく使用させていただきありがとうございます!!

Good for killing time and being creative

A fun app to practice pixel art

Not the most full featured app but it’s a great place to get a daily challenge and see some fun and unconventional work. The best sort of social media.

Easy to use app

Lots of options for color and easy interface!

Tbh it realistically exceeded my expectations

It’s worth it. A lot of tools and features once you get used to the workflow. 4 out of 5 stars. Would recommend
