Unleash your inner artist

ArtStudio for iPad -Paint&Draw

by Lucky Clan
$4.99 in the App Store

For those aspiring artists who enjoy drawing, sketching, and painting on-the-go.

What is it about?

ArtStudio is another option for those wanting to create artwork on their iPad. The app includes 30 brushes. These include pencils, brushes, a wet brush, an eraser, a smudge tool, an airbrush and many more. The app also includes a text tool to add captions or other text to your painting. The app also includes 17 drawing lessons. These are great for those that still need to learn how to draw effectively. The app will also simulate brush pressure to help your paintings look more realistic. The app can also insert various images onto six different layers. The app includes many more features and is a great alternative to the essential apps.

For those who...

  • Want something that is simple but still provides powerful tools
  • Need a mobile art studio

Not for those who...

  • Are not artistic
  • Need an app for taking notes, not drawing

Why we love it

ArtStudio is a fairly simple app that is easy enough for anyone, even non-artists, to understand and use. However, if you do require some serious drawing tools, this app still provides quite a punch.
