“I don’t draw good, I draw cartoons” I felt that.

I use Ibis paintx on my 5" Android And now I started getting commissions ☝️😂😂
Edit- Now I don't draw digitally.. I am working on my sketching art.

I prefer ibis paint x... cause it's kinda user friendly and feature packed as well when it comes to drawing on phone with fingers..

I'm sad that android can't download procreate..

[Pongowl]

don’t even have an android, just here for nintendo console drawings and hey, not even disappointed.

I use medibang because its the program I use on my computer to do all my art, but I love it more because of its cloud. I can start a drawing when I'm out with my tablet, save it into the cloud and continue it at home; that's why it's my go-to app/program.
I wanted to give sketchbook a chance, but the mandatory sign-in was a turn off for me. I don't always have a connection on my tablet when I'm out, so I can't do any work on it.

You kinda missed the most important part of concepts: infinite canvas, which is great for coming up with concepts and ideas and practicing drawing . Also auto layers for brushes. Ipad version has streamline function, i guess maybe they haven't put it into Android version yet

[pandaengine]

Fun fact, I was the one who pushed the Artflow developer to add customizable pressure sensitivity to size, opacity and flow settings of the brushes (instead of one-for-all sensitivity setting). Last time I checked, it was developed by a single person. It's a very nice app, and if I still had an Android tablet, I'd definitely use it as my main app.

Its so satisfying when he draws, like the way he sketches things is kinda amazing to watch and idk why😂

[patmurphy]

artflow, and my samsung PHONE and my THUMB changed my life
forever.
"you did that, with your thumb?!"
great ice breaker lol

Been using Infinite painter for 3 years now, and it has great features, and developer (Sean) is super aproachable and eager to listen if you have some problems with the app. We had a great little community when the discussion for Infinite Painter was on Google + before they shut it down :( Anyways, if you dig a little deeper it has some amazing options: great selection tools, great perspective tools, color adjusting tools and filters with very advanced means of application (i will just say for example : adjustable bokeh with lets say... adjustable tilt shift focus - havent seen something like that even in photoshop). Also brush engine is just something else compared to other programs and i like that out-of-the-box every brush can be used as a blender.

I'm currently using Ibis Paint and I won't lie it's amazing
Like
You can change the layers invert or put on another layer
You can save a brush and import one
You can Change the way your brush will come out as
You have a lot of options like Filters Magic Wand and yeah

You can connect some Android tablets (Samsung Tab S7, S7+) to Windows using Second Screen/Win+K Cast, meaning you can use your Android tablet as a Windows tablet and use full-blown desktop software. A really nice and underrated feature for getting stylus support on full-blown software with no compromises.

I've been using pics art drawing tool and it feels like I've been living under a rock. I started using sketchbook and so far so good and better.

4. Autodesk Sketchbook
3. Ibis Paint X
7. Huion Sketch
6. Medibang

*DONT MIND ME IM JUST WRITING DOWN NOTES*

[abhisavale]

I used to draw on autodesk sketchbook but after trying infinite painter I realised that it is really smooth and sketchbook feels laggy now..
Even Brad said that on his last android apps for drawing video...

[TheWax]

Great list. I do wish these phone apps would make a pen tool similar to that of Adobe Illustrator. Having the ability to create and edit anchor points is a must for me.

[strawberrystudy]

I personally love Ibis paint X I'm already used to all the features Ibis has making it hard to use other software's, I'm on mobile so a few softwares aren't available. The brushes are customizable and it kinda free

[KyleHarrisonRedacted]

We're you just low key also ranking Nintendo consoles during this? 😂 Love it
