His last version, Brushes 3 was released in 2012, but was removed from the App Store in 2015. I took over development to modernise and support an app that has continued to be enjoyed by so many artists.

OpenStudio is the creative workspace for the entire design process. One place to collect, sketch, render, refine, spec and market. Built for fashion designers, product designers, architects, and creators who’d rather stay in one tool than switch between five. Feels like drawing. Works like magic. It should be fun. Start from a sketch, photo, 3D primitive, or a reference image. Manage your projects your way with stickies and annotations across an infinite canvas. ONE CLICK AI TOOLS - Rendering — turn sketches, photos, and 3D assets into photorealistic renders - Precision Editing — describe the exact change you want referencing as many source images as you need and OpenStudio makes it - 3D — convert sketches and images into 3D meshes - Technical Drawings & Specs — turn concepts into technical drawings and specification documentation - Marketing & Story — generate marketing imagery and narrative concepts straight from your designs - Pattern & Dieline —generate patterns to guide cutting and sewing garments, and dieline templates for packaging or sheet material - Video — generate video from a still, or animate between multiple keyframes - Visual Language — instantly create a style guide from your designs - UI Mocks — produce high quality visual designs for your next digital design project DRAWING TOOLS - Freehand sketching with a range of brushes - Layers to organize sketches and iterations PHOTO EDITOR - Crop, retouch, and adjust photos without leaving your project - Remove background with one click - Combine photos with 3D and AI-generated content - Non-destructive edits you can revisit anytime THINKING TOOLS - Moodboards for gathering references and inspiration - Sticky notes and annotations to capture ideas in context COLLABORATION TOOLS - Share projects with teammates and collaborate in real time - Work across mobile, iPad and desktop based on your needs FILE MANAGEMENT - Import and organize CAD files, images, and assets in one place
