HEAVYPAINT

Wow this is really original! Good job dev!! Great painting app. A few issues I have with it: 1) it needs a gallery page to see all your works and open them from there and edit them. It's so frustrating using the arrows and then skipping it and waiting to see what it was. 2) needs a better import image feature that uses Gallery app or built in browser, and can support normal Android file formats.

This app is best described as Kid Pix for plein air. If that doesn't excite you in the way it excites me your milage may vary but I love this program. Sure, you can draw with different brush shapes, you can put down basic shapes and laso color, all of which work great out of the box. But the blur and smudge tool? Transcendent. Beautiful noise settings, and you can layer brushes so the smudge is applied as a basic shape or a lasso. Easily the most unique drawing app out there.

I really liked the idea of this app, as it forced the user to illustrate focusing on shapes. It was free with a paid option unlocking more options and brushes. I find it hard to settle on a singular digital illustration program so I like to try a bit of everything and can't justify purchasing everything. HP became a paid exclusive entirely at some point. Not even the option for a limited tool free version. Really disappointed.
