“I don’t draw good, I draw cartoons” I felt that.
Drawing isnt about style or accuracy, is about intended expression
So if ur able to make cartoons with specific intended characteristics through shapes, movement and emotions: ur good at drawing.
No u might not be good at drawing life-like, photgraphic or mimicing natural light, but that is just another drawing style.
Like a guitar player sux at piano, but is really good at playing the guitar.
So u are a good artist, in your own artform which in this case is the cartoon-style.
Others really suck at that, and is "only" able to draw photgraphic and anathomical correct drawings, but that doesnt make them good cartoonist does it?
So dont worry. Just be confident to be good at what u do best, rather than worrying about that ur not talented in something somebody else does best.
Most if us cant be the best in everything anyway
Hey you have 69 likes
I draw "good" but cannot draw cartoons, there is no bad, there are only strengths

I prefer ibis paint x... cause it's kinda user friendly and feature packed as well when it comes to drawing on phone with fingers..
What is with you people drawing with your fingers, a stylus, a GOOD ONE is like 13$

@@soda_fairy when u get used to it. Using a stylus get hard lmao
@@milkeyway7105 Yeees
how do you make your drawings save with good quality because when I save them and post them they are blurry
I use Ibis paintx on my 5" Android phone..... And now I started getting commissions ☝️😂😂
Edit- Now I don't draw digitally.. I am working on my sketching art.
Me with MediBang 🤣
I use both procreate and Ibis paintx
trashy •potato me too. I wish that you could export the IbisPaint brushes to Procreate.
Big flex
I use infinite painter
I use medibang because its the program I use on my computer to do all my art, but I love it more because of its cloud. I can start a drawing when I'm out with my tablet, save it into the cloud and continue it at home; that's why it's my go-to app/program.
I wanted to give sketchbook a chance, but the mandatory sign-in was a turn off for me. I don't always have a connection on my tablet when I'm out, so I can't do any work on it.
Medibang has a lot of features but sadly it has a bug on android and fully zoom out the kamvas without a particular reason.That's my only downside!!!
Just connect your google acc to sketchbook its not that bad, i do lineworks in medibang and finish coloring and shading in sketchbook
@@animedrips also the line tool is often buggy when you undo things
Sketchbook>>> medibang

Thanks
JUST GIVE ME ONE WITH COLOUR DROP. After moving to android, I'm finding it kinda hard to remember to use the 'fill' tool, rather than just grabbing from the colour picker.
don’t even have an android, just here for nintendo console drawings and hey, not even disappointed.
WAIT IS IT RLLY POSSIBLE TO DOWNLOAD THESE ON A NINTENDO
@@3xMusicComposer no
@@corazonis No he's drawing different nintendo consoles but it would be cool if nintendo had something like that
@@hw.lds08 *flipnote flashbacks*
I like Lego
You kinda missed the most important part of concepts: infinite canvas, which is great for coming up with concepts and ideas and practicing drawing . Also auto layers for brushes. Ipad version has streamline function, i guess maybe they haven't put it into Android version yet
Agreed. The smoothing feature is on android as well, right there in the tool wheel. I think Brad just missed it. (You can also adjust smoothing after lines are drawn.)
which app?
@@rodusaev concpets
His one complaint is daft, the smoothing is right beside the brush and opacity, also it can be done afterwards with another tool on the wheel.
Ibis has that
artflow, and my samsung PHONE and my THUMB changed my life
forever.
"you did that, with your thumb?!"
great ice breaker lol
Its so satisfying when he draws, like the way he sketches things is kinda amazing to watch and idk why😂
Great list. I do wish these phone apps would make a pen tool similar to that of Adobe Illustrator. Having the ability to create and edit anchor points is a must for me.
I've been using pics art drawing tool and it feels like I've been living under a rock. I started using sketchbook and so far so good and better.
Fun fact, I was the one who pushed the Artflow developer to add customizable pressure sensitivity to size, opacity and flow settings of the brushes (instead of one-for-all sensitivity setting). Last time I checked, it was developed by a single person. It's a very nice app, and if I still had an Android tablet, I'd definitely use it as my main app.
Artflow is great and by far one of the most stable.I hope the developer will not abandon the app and we will see some great future updates
Yeah, don't dream that hard
Brad: I don’t do good, I do cartoons
Me: i feel yah bro, I feel yah
Yah! hajima
Been using Infinite painter for 3 years now, and it has great features, and developer (Sean) is super aproachable and eager to listen if you have some problems with the app. We had a great little community when the discussion for Infinite Painter was on Google + before they shut it down :( Anyways, if you dig a little deeper it has some amazing options: great selection tools, great perspective tools, color adjusting tools and filters with very advanced means of application (i will just say for example : adjustable bokeh with lets say... adjustable tilt shift focus - havent seen something like that even in photoshop). Also brush engine is just something else compared to other programs and i like that out-of-the-box every brush can be used as a blender.
@marinresler4288 is it allow to save file in eps format?
Another great video as usual!
I would love to see a new video with the android apps for artists and it would be cool if you include apps for sculpting, a pure ref type of app if there is one for Android etc.
Thanks for being the only one that makes videos like this one!
We're you just low key also ranking Nintendo consoles during this? 😂 Love it

Dont worry got ur bacc
I love your videos Brad. I am new to drawing and art, and my channel is only small now, but I really feel like your videos are helping me grow. I'm sure you know, but your videos are fun, to the point, very informative and an absolute pleasure to watch.
Keep up the great work, hopefully I'll be as good as you at drawing and making videos one day! Thanks for your effort 👌 😃
Thank you so much for this. Just picked up my s6 lite based on your review and I'm really enjoying artflow. I'm used to photoshop and my Wacom bamboo, but I'm having so much more fun with this s6. Always hated that pc drawing tablet disconnect. Thanks again!
Unfortunately Artflow doesn't have perspective modes 😧 it's what got me hooked into Infinite Painter, having the most easy settings for perspectives. It has an amazing array of customization for layer blending though (the extra "effects" tab no other apps had).
I personally love Ibis paint X I'm already used to all the features Ibis has making it hard to use other software's, I'm on mobile so a few softwares aren't available. The brushes are customizable and it kinda free
I used to draw on autodesk sketchbook but after trying infinite painter I realised that it is really smooth and sketchbook feels laggy now..
Even Brad said that on his last android apps for drawing video...
Then try artflow. Especially if you would like to do painting.
@@mihalyincze91
It's been few days sence I started drowing on art flow an the experience is great
It is definitely the best app in android for drawing
Thanks for your suggestion..
@@abhisavale5231 I'm glad you are glad
Abhi savale Autodesk never felt laggy to me on my phone and ipad
The pinch in and out on autodesk doesn't feels as affective as infinite painter or artflow and it also takes noticeable response time after drawing a line to me
This was helpfull! Thanks! Just bought a tab6 lite today. Installed half of the apps on your list to fiddle around with. Thanks for the vid. It saved me hours, maybe days to figure out what to look for.
@Brad, one big difference between all the tools you presented and Concepts, is that Concepts is not raster, but a vector tool that has instantly renders the brushes to the required raster-style to look like a raster, but you can scale to the level you want without losing resoltion.
I use a mix of the Ibis Paint and MediBang apps. Like for Ibis, I use it for sketching while I use MediBang for line art and details, and I switch back to Ibis Paint for some finishing touches.

Hello everyone❤❤ if you like drawing please watch my video , if you like it please help me🙏
@@3xMusicComposer I shall se3
Really like watching your videos Brad. Thanks for your insights and humor.
You can connect some Android tablets (Samsung Tab S7, S7+) to Windows using Second Screen/Win+K Cast , meaning you can use your Android tablet as a Windows tablet and use full-blown desktop software. A really nice and underrated feature for getting stylus support on full-blown software with no compromises.
you can What /pos
Thanks, that was a great review, as always! By the way, how much improvement is there compared to the last review?
On Art flow, if you double tap on the screen, it will re-adjust the drawing to its original spot. I also have realized if you take you stylus along the left side, you can easily control the thickness of your brush size. Personally, I use art flow on my amazon kindle fire, and the main downside is that it won't let me rotate my canvas and it don't let me use the paint bucket (and yes, my lines have been fully closed). For Xmas, I asked my parents for the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite tablet so I can get apps that work better. In the past, I have used ibis paint X and it has been amazing. I just really wish with art flow I was able to rotate my canvas and fill in shapes quicker and easier. If anyone has any tips, that would help me a lot.
I'm about to get my first screen drawing tablet (been using a $70 huion for a few years) and I think I'll get ibis and autodesk because I've used both of them before (on a phone and laptop). BTW It's a Tab S6 Lite and you really helped me decide with your reviews! I love all your videos and find myself watching them over and over again!
EDIT: I also might get clip studio as well
Thanks Mr. Colbow. I just bought a G Tab S6 lite & was looking for a Drawing/Sketching App. These are Great Suggestions for me.
For me, I always come back to Infinite Painter. The brush engine just completes me 🙂
I'm currently using Ibis Paint and I won't lie it's amazing
Like
You can change the layers invert or put on another layer
You can save a brush and import one
You can Change the way your brush will come out as
You have a lot of options like Filters Magic Wand and yeah
Those features also Medibang has but the UI of IbisPaint is better
But yeah the filters are fun and nice
But using mask layer in Medibang for texture is my favourite thing
Try also the Paintology app from google play store, it will also allow you to do photo realistic drawings!
You hold down to fill in on adobe draw. Also you can import an image by pressing the plus sign on the layer option.
I don’t have an android tablet but I’ll still watch to support, love your content and the intro ❤️
Watching you draw Nintendo consoles was oddly fulfilling...🙎♀️
You can add pictures on I ibis is when you click on' Layers' and to the left you can see a camera on the bottom ,you click it and you can add your picture. Have a great day keep up the good work!
I use ibispaint but I clicked on this video to check out other options as I'm looking to get a drawing tablet for Christmas and want to see the ones artist recommend
The reason I switched from art flow to infinite painter was the fill tool on infinite painter. I also wanted the shape recognition the infinite painter has. Are those available on artflow?
Yeah, I love fill tools, A good reason I use Krita on desktop, even photoshop don't have it...
@@EuMestre I just wish infinite painter for android implement folders for layers
Regarding Artflow: if someone happens to have a keyboard handy they can type META + / to see a very long list of supported keyboard shortcuts. Including, of course, CTRL + z to undo.
You can link undo to your volume button...
I have IbisPaint X and I love it, I might try out the other apps and see which I prefer
Thx, this helped me make my decision on what to puchase. Needed something for my note 10 plus as well.👍
this is an old video so you'll probably never read this. But I just wanna say I really appreciate you making these videos for people who like art. thank you :)
Dw one day hel see it
You need to stop picking online fights with cat food companies that carve life-sized statues of Richard Simmons, Brad
Thanks for this list!
On Adobe draw, long press to fill in the spaces with colour. And you are able to add images to sketch with.
Was using infinite painter for a long time...
Thanks!!.for making me discover artflow 👍
i have been using sketchbook for 1 month now and i am so use to it that it's hard to think of other apps but after watching this video i used artflow and infinite painter and they are amazing if you buy those in-app purchase (but those are not even more than 300INR or 3$ as brad said it's worth spending)
if u are in for paper realistic sketch work try sketchbook
if you are going to draw something that has fine rigid shapes go for artflow
but i am more interested in magic wand feature which is in artflow
For ibis you need to go to layers and you can find camera it gives option to import image
seeing artflow get attention for once makes me really happy :)
IbisPaint is my favourite yet. It's the first I once got i think and it's still the best for me. There is a premium membership that gives you additional premium... backgrounds and filters, but you can get along really good without it.
I use ibis on my phone, and when I got a tablet with a stylus I switched to medibang just because it got palm reject (correct me if im wrong). thanks for this vid discovered more apps to try
Awesome! Thank you! I'll check a few of these out!
this actually helped me a lot, thanks! also, could you review the lenovo yoga book tablet? I've been searching for reviews for art purposes, but can't seem to find any good one. big fan of your channel, greetings from brazil 🙏💕
I just love ibis xD i don't even have a drawing tablet yet. I am just drawing on my phone with my finger.
Me too , ibis paint x is better
Yep aggred
I USE IBS PAINT X
that was my frist painting app
Your drawing apps are nice
in this kind of video it's be cool to keep the name of the app you're currently using written on screen, also adding youtube chapters would be a nice touch
on #4 (concepts) there's a slider for smoothing your brushes!
I use Autodesk Sketchbook in my tablet and it's really good. The only thing I don't like about it, is that you can't select a biggest canvas than 2000×4000 (that's approximately the numbers 😅) and I'm searching for an app so I can make my drawings in like 8000+
Ibis has a limit of 10k x 10k right now for the good tablets, but it depends on your device
@@demakusanI'll check it out. Thanks!!
Nice list! Always cool to see more options for creative apps on Android :)
I love Concepts for sketching on the iPad (I choose Procreate or Affinity for any polished work, but I love that Concepts is all vector for quickly trying stuff)
It's actually quite easy to tweak the "streamlining/stabilisation" on the brushes...
I see you had it at 0% while you complained about that but you can change it to whatever you want tapping on the squiggly line in the center left of the toolbar!
I agree on the color picker... As cool as it looks I would love to have a more traditional option... Just as normal nodes for modifying the lines instead of their pushy thingy
Thank you. Was thinking the same.
I agree concepts its a great app to sketch, rapidly you make a new file and do another one😃
Thank you so much for this list 🙏🏿
Good List/collection of android drawing apps. I use sketchbook and artflow for architectural sketching. ✌🏻
Sir may I ask where did u buy that pen? the one you use on that tablet
I use flipaclip cuz you can draw one picture and you can also make a movie with your drawing and I also you ibispaint x
(I have a small channel btw)
Hey for the medibang one you can basically minimize all those menus and take them out when needed
I'll try, my tablet doesn't have pen support but got an active capacitive stylus
What is the stylus you're using in the video?
dude, can you review the new Huawei matepad?
I've been planning to up some of the tech in my life for a while now, so I started looking up reviews on apps and tablets. Your videos have helped me make my decisions a lot easier. Thank you.
Thank you they all worked perfectly
Now, wait just a darn minute Brad :), you just skimmed over Superbrush and this is the first time I hear of it and it seems like kind of a big deal. I have an older note 10.1 2014 which has a great screen but older android 5.1, and would like to try it but the app is a little pricy on play store (25 bucks) and no way to try it out and developer seems to be one guy (not a bad thing, am just worried about continuous support). Tell me more Brad, please, is it usable as a poor mans cintiq replacement, what apps you tried, how does it "feel" ? Love the videos, keep it up.
I had medibang on my phone and you can get rid of all the interface stuff by touching the pen icon
I tried concepts, i absolutely love it, but there are some features that are misaing, like some layer controls, like alpha lock, transparecny and ohter, i love the "stabilization" of this app
It kinda snaps while you draw, and yhat very satisfying, the color picker wheel for me is good, because the colors are great, and they're markers color ( tell me if im wrong)
But i need the layers options and more brushes
Thanks you for all! I loved your video.
what stylus is that? it looks like you are using a tab s6, which I have and love for the amount of power it has and its 8gb of ram. But not too much of a fan of the stylus shape
Lamy emr stylus
I love how you only drew Nintendo game consoles
Ty so much needed this!!!!
Brad, I use both Illustrator and Photoshop on PC side by side... creating basic shapes using Illustrator and then cut n paste into Photoshop for detailing and shading. Just bought a 7Plus and hoping I could do the same on it. Are there any android apps I could draw with Bezier curves that I am so familiar with? I would even settle for something like the limited pen Bezier drawing tool as in Photoshop.
I use medibang with my Artisul D16 pro and it works great. I think android drawing, for me, is more of a last minute portable sketch pad.
Can you tell me what a Artisul D16 is?? :)
1-800-Lissy It’s a 15.6 inch graphic display tablet
Artflow supports volume down key undo BTW! Great app.
this is cool Brad, thank you for sharing, anyway I have some question, what file format they can produce? I mean when we save/export it, is it JPG/PNG or SVG?
Finally someone talk about artflow
I have been using it for 3 years on my phone for free without a stylus. This app is great although i used it for free i can still work my way around it n create decent art work. I tried the others but i just can't change.
"I dont draw good i draw cartoons" this is me
I really like Artflow, it does have a "secret" gesture that's very useful though many might not know, when in full screen just tap top left corner once to undo, and bottom righy to redo.
Artflow is really cool but I think the developer has abandoned the app!!!
@@animedrips Yes, there's no feature update for quite long time, but at least the developer answered my messages.
@@fihrilkamal7296 hopefully he will not abandon the app cause is one of the best illustration drawing apps on android
@@animedrips Yes, stability wise this is the best, it works so smoothly and never crashed. Unlike Infinite Painter, that has a lot of features but very unstable.
@@fihrilkamal7296 yes infinite painter is one of the most unstable apps...Yesterday I changed from infinite painter to sketchbook to finish my illustration cause I had issues with the eraser and lots of other bugs that made the app quite unusable. The onlu issue I've faced with artflow is that sometimes doesn't recognise pro license...
I have been using Artflow for years. The undo and redo buttons can be mapped to the corners of the screen, so tapping the top left corner is undo and bottom left corner is redo. I believe it's the Input setting called Active Edge. I don't know why there's no good how to guide for this app, but I remember in a previous version it let you decide what each corner did.
I am looking for other android art programs because I just got an S7+ and am overwhelmed with the screen real estate (upgraded from a Galaxy Tab A 9.7 from 2015). The palm rejection on this with Artflow is so finicky that after I tap undo, or if I pick up my hand to move the canvas or adjust the zoom or angle, it will often reset the view when I put my hand back down, which gets increasingly irritating when I am trying to work on something and have to keep setting the screen to the place I was working on. I am going to try a couple of the others you mentioned in the top 5 list, because they sound really good, but if what you say is true, I will probably end up coming back to Artflow anyway. Maybe I'll just get one of those graphics monitor gloves...
Thank you for this list!
Ohhh so good vídeo!! Thanks a lot, I am using two apps from this list and thinking to try another hehehehe
what stylus does he use on his tab? because that doesn't look like an s-pen at all. Is that stylus better than tab s7 s-pen?
I love use ibis paint x ❤😍
Love your stuff! Can you do a video on the Gaomon PD2200? Or are they one of those companies with shady marketing practices that you stay away from?
Good content!
Can you tell me what android tablet do you use?
hi! I recently purchased the tab s6 lite and am currently trying out the recommended apps, however i have the problem that i can only save my drawings as png which makes them very pixelated. I am otherwise totally happy with the tablet, however i don't know how good it really is as a graphic tablet if this can't be fixed... does anyone have a tip for me? :)
"super brush" is now changed his name to "super display"
on concepts, there is litteraly a setting to "straighten" the lines and get rid of the micros movements :)
I mainly use Infinite Painter as it's brush engine seems to be the best, sometimes I use Autodesk Sketchbook, but it has a limited feature set compared to IP. I tried artflow in the past but the quality of brushes was bad.
I'm glad I saw the potential in artflow back when it was new and purchased it. I'm proud to say that it is my number 1 drawing app along with sketchbook. It's almost as great for sketching as procreate in my opinion
I hope the developer will add new features in the future and will not abandon the app!!!!
Concepts is an odd app. I personally like it and intend to move to it once I have gotten a little better. But my main interest is also concept art / architectural sketching which is where Concepts really shines.
As for your issues, there's the feature in the middle of the colour wheel where you can decie amount of line smoothing.
And concepts has the ability to buy everything seperately, though you are missing some sync features and will be paying about 1.5x the yearly cost if you want to unlock everything.
Brad is AWESOME! Humorous and competent :)
Thank you king, you helped me a lot
