Why we picked this?

What sets MyBrushes Pro apart from other art creation apps is its powerful drawing and painting engine. Every stroke is fast and silky smooth, no matter if you’re looking for precision or filling in large sections of the canvas. By the way, the canvas is infinite as are the layers, allowing you to create quite complex pieces of art. MyBrushes Pro also includes more than 100 preset brushes to choose from.

You like to paint or draw. MyBrushes Pro’s simple UI makes it easy to quickly get to and adjust all of your tools, because it’s all about the art after all.

You prefer a large canvas. You may be disappointed to know that MyBrushes Pro isn’t a universal app, so if you want to draw and paint on your iPad, you will have to download a different app that will actually cost you money.
