Wasabi Paint

Tried, no blend slow to pick up and apply not as good as art set which is far superior

I am early on using this app but it is the best I have seen so far. Lots of colors and ways to tweak them. A little back and forth inside app to drawers etc but once you get the hang it is fine. There are simpler apps but I am excited that I can actually make real art with this or at least work out on the screen what I want to paint in the real world. I'd give it five stars but as I said it is early on and I don't know what kind of support they give. Worth a try for just a few bucks. I don't usually write reviews but I appreciate others doing so and so I thought this compelling enough to spend the time. Also I use on my iPad a stylus pen. Have fun!!

I was quite nervous right before I just bought this painting application. There were close to as many negative reviews and ratings as there were positive one's. But oh boy, am I glad I took that chance and gamble on this, what I consider, truly amazing painting application! I have personally never seen a painting app that reproduces an approximate to real world materials, as this application does. Truly it is not without it's flaws, just like any app I believe. But I am currently able to overlook the very few that I have noticed so far, due to just how mesmerized I am by what I am drawing on to my screen. When the description stated something to the effect about making "3D" paint strokes, I do not think that were lying in the slightest bit! The possibilities in my mind are just running wild right now. Maybe it is just the kind of artwork that I like to create, I don't know. But I am just seeing so many possibilities of creating paintings that I think will just look like they are jumping off the page! I think it was that dark red screenshot for this app that had me sold. There seems to be five brushes to choose from, with three types of modifiers of some sort, that you can apply to each brush if you want, and it affects how the paint is laid down and also how the paints on your canvas blend together. Sorry if I am not being descriptive enough or making much sense. I am just so thrilled still with how incredible I think the paint looks here, I have never seen any kind of painting app that delivers realistic results like Wasabi does. There is, though, one glaring flaw that is currently annoying the poop out of me. This would be that when you go to select either the Brush menu or the Color menu. Well, you cannot seem to click those menu icons once again to close them. Instead, you are forced to click on to your canvas, which, of course, leaves a darn paint stroke on it. I am constantly having to select a brush or color, then repeatedly hit the Undo button to get rid of that errant paint stroke. So, if the developer would please update the app to curtail this little annoying niggle, well I would be very grateful and thankful. But, do not get me wrong. I by no means am trying to say that this little inconvenience is something that would make the app not worth purchasing for, no way. It is such a small annoyance in the grand scheme of things I believe, to be able to paint with such amazing, authentic-looking paint. That I would gladly put up with it forever just to continue to enjoy this application as much as I have been so far. I do not believe that I have fully grasped how every feature and function works yet, in this app. But with how amazed I have been so far, well, I would be content forever just with what I have learned already. But on the other hand I also do not think that the basics of the app are a hard thing to grasp really. If you have used digital painting/drawing applications before, I think you will pick the app up as quick as I did. Also, if you are just looking for some generic "doodling" app, well I am not sure that you would care for this app. Not that I believe you have to be some professional painter by far. It is just that the app's main focus seems to be solely on painting in a very cool and realistic way, I believe. And I just don't think that if you want to draw some doodles or sketches for work, that you will be very satisfied. Yet, as I said that in't a mark against the app at all, and I actually prefer how the developer seemed to focus just on perfecting the smooth painting engine and the hyper realistic paint and blending. I know it is a gamble to purchase without a demo or trial. But at least in my case, I am overjoyed that I took that chance. Update**** I also wanted to add that some reviewers stated that there are only a specific set of colors and you can only paint in a portrait orientation with this application. I can currently attest that both of those statements are now incorrect. They were most likely true when they were written, though. But I just got got done using the app, and as of 6-10-2013, there is a full color swatch that lets you pick any color and any shade of that color that you might want. And I also used the app in landscape mode the entire time that I used it and the app was fully optimized for this orientation.

Great paint texture, very interesting...and the possibility to mix effects with Art Set is amazing ! But : Slowing too much, just one white color background, no possibility to pick a color on the canvas, and wishing to download photos as templates.
