Graintouch is a drawing app with the soul of print. Inspired by Risograph™ aesthetics, it lets you layer, blend, and create with the warmth of real ink—right on your screen. BOOL BRUSH A bold, organic vector brush that stacks colors like ink on paper. Blend, overlap, knockout and build rich textures with effortless strokes. PRINT SIMULATION See your artwork as if it just rolled off a risograph. Offset imperfections, layered tints, and the charm of real ink—without the mess. MINIMAL UI Nothing in your way, just pure drawing. A clean, focused space where tools feel like an extension of your hand. COLORFUL CONSTRAINTS A playful palette of 18 handpicked inks, straight from the riso universe. Instead of endless choice, you get meaningful constraints that spark creativity—just like mixing real inks on a print run. VECTOR STENCILS Every Layer becomes a crisp, resolution-independent stencil. Your drawings export as clean vector stencils, perfect for scaling, separating by color, and bringing straight to print—no loss, just pure shapes.
Entropy Brush

entropybrush is a physics-based oil painting studio for iPhone and iPad. Instead of faking brush marks with filters, it simulates the paint itself: loaded bristles lay down real pigment, wet paint flows and levels, and thick strokes build genuine impasto relief that catches the light. Paint on a canvas that's actually three-dimensional. Tilt it to see ridges of thick paint stand up off the surface, move the light to rake across the texture, and watch wet paint ooze, drip, and settle like the real thing. • Real bristle brushes — a stroke carries a load of paint that runs out as you drag • Wet paint flow — paint levels, blends wet-on-wet, and dries over time • Impasto relief — thick paint builds real height you can light and tilt in 3D • Pigment mixing — colors combine subtractively, like real paint (blue + yellow makes green) • Spin art — spin the canvas and fling paint outward into centrifugal spirals • Drips and gravity — tilt the canvas and let loaded paint run • Adjustable lighting — rake a light across the surface to reveal every ridge • Export your work as an image, or as a 3D model of the painted surface Multi-touch on iPhone and iPad: one finger paints, two fingers pan, pinch-zoom and twist to rotate, and the orbit control tilts the canvas in 3D — so you can rotate the painting while you paint. On iPhone the controls slide in from the right edge so the canvas gets the whole screen. No account, no sign-in, no data collection. Just paint.

Verdict
