Paintstorm Studio

El interfaz apabulla, creo que es más propio de una app para escritorio que para una tablet. No me he podido hacer con los menús y paneles, creo que deberían pensar en “aligerar” para futuras versiones. Porque aparte de toda la información que intimida (comparado con otras apps), resulta que a menudo los pinceles se ralentizan como en un dispositivo lento. Lo grave es que lo estoy haciendo correr en un iPad Pro de 14’’ y chip M2…

I’ve known this software for quite a while, and I loved the PC version, so as soon as I found out it is available for Ipad, I had no doubts and got it immediately. The brush variety and quality are truly fantastic, I’ve never really felt as comfortable with digital paintings as with this app. That said, I cannot completely recommend it. It could have the potential to be a heavy duty painting app… but it certainly is not there yet. If you work with heavy files or tend to use around 8 or 9 layers to work on, there’s a chance you lose all your work on one of those layers after, in theory, saving the file properly, closing the app and then opening it up again and reloading the file. Just today, I was working on a piece that had six characters, each on a separate layer to play with composition later. When I reopened the file later, two of those layers had just the flats on them after hours of work rendering the characters. All backup files had the same problem too. In the end, if I want to use it for complex pictures, I have to merge everything and work in just one or two layers that I have to make sure to merge before saving and closing, as well as saving on a different file format just in case. I spoke to a few friends that had used it before, and two of them recalled having the same issue at some point. So, even though I love it, I’m afraid I’ll have to stop using it until the saving system, or the layers or whatever could cause this problem gets fixed.

Me podríais decir como configurar el pencil para que pinte justo por dejado de la punta del lápiz y no en otro sitio? Gracias

Es muy intuitivo y fácil.

Magnífica aplicación. Suavidad, muchas opciones en cuanto a pinceles y trazos en el lienzo. Es lo más parecido a Corel Painter. De toda la store lo más similar es el Art Rage pero me quedo con este y Procreate.

IT is the perfect application to have in the ipad pro 12. The only thing that could improve is he basic gestures to make more like procreate

There’s a couple of bugs, the recent update broke the brush import features and you can only use reference images if you open a separate document. Please fix this.

If the UI were cleaned up, this would awesome.

Paintstorm has a definite place in my production cycle as a professional creative and might be my “go to” for starting new projects. Serious artists, don’t skip this one.

I do love this program. It’s got great painterly brushes that most of us really want without the big prices like Corel Painter. It’s pretty budget friendly. Granted it being cheaper it does have some bugs and the interface is a bit odd. The Reference Window bugs me so much though. I guess you could technically have the photos app open on the side. You can’t import images directly into the sub window like in Clip Studio Paint, Ibis Paint X, and Procreate. I have tried almost all painting apps in my experiences of 12 years of art and 3D art. Most drawing apps in fact have that function of sub reference window image import. This one is just not ideal, you have to open a separate document and toggle it to the reference window, that’s my only issue. If they fixed that with direct image import into the reference window, but overall it is a good app. And it has canvas texture templates which most don’t have, which is a double plus.
