You start painting with your fingers or stylus, and it may seem simple at first, but when you start mixing effects, symmetry, rotations, color palettes, and brushes, is when the most awesome drawings start coming to life! The best drawings come out from not having an idea in mind, but just playful tinkering with all the available settings! I hope you enjoy this app as much as I have enjoyed making it!
