Other Art Apps

While App2 Art recommends Top Art Apps and 3 Palette Apps there are a range of other art apps you might want to think about. Of these we draw your attention to Zen Brush, Typedrawing, Sketchclub, Art Guide, Art Authority & Art Gallery Renaissance to Modern Masterpieces for your iPad. For vector based graphics we recommend idraw & inkpad. Home.

Zen Brush - a great ink drawing/painting application

If you like the clarity of ink based drawing and painting then this is the app for you. Zen Brush allows you to use fine tapered lines so is perfect for pure linear and outline drawing. http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/zen-brush/id382200873?mt=8

Typedrawing - a great letter based drawing app

An application that uses letters rather than lines to build an image. You can vary fonts, sizing, the extent of repetition, and scale according to the speed of the pen stroke. As a result TypeDrawing can be used with layering to create interesting images and collages in other applications. The app allows you to export the letters with and without background so greatly facilitates experimentation with multi media effects. http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/typedrawing-for-ipad/id372350676?mt=8

iDraw - a brilliant graphic and vector drawing app

If you are interested in technical drawing then iDraw is a brilliant vector based application. App2Art has good familiarity with this application so can provide advice on how to use it in our Workshops. http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/idraw/id363317633?mt=8

Inkpad - a good vector based drawing application.

Another capable vector illustration package from the Brushes stable. App2Art prefers to use iDraw though. http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/inkpad/id400083414?mt=8

SketchBook Ink

A very new and potentially exciting app if you like simple linear drawing. It has a great facility for altering the pixelation of the image too. However, so new that there currently seem to be issues with lag. In time these bugs should be eliminated. http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/sketchbook-ink/id526422908?mt=8
