Brushes

This is a simple drawing app that lets you create high-quality artwork but there is a serious bug which causes significant problems sometimes. If you are choosing a new app, then I would strongly recommend not getting this despite the good features. What happens is that sometimes auto save does not work so that when you exit the app you find that none of the changes have been applied. Several times are found that all the work of an extended working session had not been saved which can be imagined is incredibly frustrating. Since I’ve had to use the app for some work, I have been obliged to stop every few minutes to find out if it has saved which is not an ideal workflow.

I love this app! I have a query though.. I’m doing a set of sketches that I’m recording on ipad screenshot as I draw them,to make short videos that I then add my own piano music to. However every time I press ‘brush undo’ those words appear in the centre of the screen,spoiling the video in progress. Is there any way to stop that appearing? Im trying to get various video effects happening including reverse by manipulating what I record on screenshot and to have ‘brush undo’ in the centre of the screen is preventing this from being possible. That aside tho..the app is great!. Cheers,Nick

This is a waste of money. The app is too cumbersome to allow any enjoyment whatsoever. This is the worse Christmas present ever.

I thought that you liked me But you only liked me for my money , my money I thought that you liked me But you ripped me apart from the start You have a heart of gold You took my money And threw away my love And now I’m ruined But now I think it made me stronger I thought that you cared for me But you only cared for me for my money, my money I thought that you cared for me But you ripped me apart from the start You have a heart of gold You took my money And threw away my love And now I’m ruined But now I think it made me stronger I thought that I could trust you But I guess you don’t feel the same I thought that I could trust you But you ripped me apart from the start You have a heart of gold You took my money and threw away my love And now I’m ruined But now I think it made me stronger

Given that this is free, it’s actually very good. Selecting colours, creating palettes etc. If you are a painter it’s easy to use and can replicate glazing and layering. I’ve used it as a sketching tool in the Ashmolean gallery in Oxford (UK). Allegedly it’s the app David Hockney uses to make his iPad paintings.

This app is almost impossible to use how could someone have released this the only thing has a brush no colours what is the point in that .. makes no sense

This app has become very complicated. I loved the original Brushes - which won’t work on new iPads ! So a few changes may have been necessary to bring it up to date with technology but now the fun has gone for me!

Sorry

I cannot get fine detail because this version of Brushes gives very poor control of brush size especially in the very fine range. Very frustrating and maddening. Destroys spontaneity.

Where can you find help ?....very minimal ’instructions’. Learn the hard way I guess!
