Best drawing app ever

This app is so easy for me and I’m only 11 I like to test all the different brushes and it’s fun.

Decent

I mean from ibis paint to procreate? It’s alright it’s confusing, lack of tutorial, but the brushes are free and along with effects. (After you buy the app of course) Pretty decent for 12 bucks.
