What's a good drawing app for Google tablets?

Postby King Kool » 28 Dec 2013, 19:35

I know the whole crew are Apple seeds, but I've come into contact with a Google Nexus 7 (2013) and I'd like to see how it works for art. But I don't know which art apps to look at. Can anyone help me find something that's good?

The article is a little old (May 2013) but hopefully helpful:

Sadly my tablet doesn't have the touch sensitivity to be a viable drawing device (2nd generation Asus Transformer, it was 3rd gen before the sensitivity got ridicu-awesome).

I don't have a tablet, but I do have an Android phone and I used Sketchbook Mobile (the phone-size version of Sketchbook Pro) to draw my Desert Bus-tan piece. If you don't want to spend money on an app without trying it first, the "Express" versions of Sketchbook are free AND ad-free (well, the mobile one is at least).

Slightly related, make sure you have a good stylus. I borrowed two different ones from my mom, one with a spongy tip and one with a rubbery tip, and the spongy tip does NOT work for drawing.

Layer Paint HD is my Android drawing app of choice (I have a samsung note 10.1) . It is pretty amazing. Basically it's $5 photoshop for drawing. Real simple but designed to be a tool not a toy.

All these comics were drawn with it.
