Just getting around to drawing on my tablet... experimented on iPad and Galaxy Note 2014 10.1 - leaning toward the note with CloverPaint These were done with ipad and others, still getting up to speed with Clover - will post more later. I like the idea that I can work up ideas and transfer good candidates to my desktop to finalize with Photoshop or Corel Painter for illustrations, etc. Beats toting around a sketch pad. Clover is turning out to be pretty awesome (a bit of a learning curve)

Those are very good! I thought I recognized your name. I love your funny western art! I really like the Galaxy Note tablets because they have the s pen. It is so easy to draw with especially after trying a lot of other styluses. Some more painting apps that you might be interested in are: SketchBook Pro, SketchBook Ink, Infinite Painter, ArtFlow, LayerPaint HD, Serious Paint, Doodledroid, and Fresco Pro. Also, one of the tricks I've learned is to use the Splashtop Remote Desktop HD app to hook up my Samsung tablets to my big PC and I can use the big computer programs like Painter X3, SketchBook Pro 6, Twisted Brush, and ArtRage 4 to paint my pictures. It's kind of like the poor man's Wacom Cintiq tablet. A real Cintiq costs about a thousand dollars.

Thanks... I transfer files from the note to my desktop via the usb tablet, and I use a Wacom tablet on the desktop to do the painting with. Before trying Clover, I got (and have) Sketchbook Pro, ArtFlow - some of these do not have selection tools (magic wand)or believable watercolor effects. They are useful in their own fashion, but Clover and it's infinite adjustable brushes is pretty much like Corel Painter. I kinda like Sketchbook for the more mechanical things. I mix and match many programs including some 3D applications as needed for the job at hand. The website in my signature and the Facebook page and Flickr site show some use of these. I'm so used to my Wacom that I don't know if I could adapt to the Cintique, even if I could afford one.
I appreciate your comments and much needed advice! Nate

Auryn Ink is the best app for watercolor painting. It really looks like real watercolor. However, you can't import files into it and that limits it somewhat, but you can export files. I like to paint a watercolor picture in Auryn Ink and then export it into SketchBook Ink and finish out the details in ink. It really looks like a pen and ink drawing. I have some examples of it posted on this board.

Welcome to the forum. I added your Flickr profile to my favourites. I like your stuff. While I'm not the greatest at drawing and go long periods with out inspiration to draw (always seem to be too busy or too tired, poor excuses I know), I like to delve in to the inner workings of the android OS and various art apps (mostly CloverPaint). Happy to help with any technical questions you may have.
I'm guessing you have tried your Wacom pen on your Note tablet, they should be interchangable as they contain the same technology in their digitizers. I haven't found a good way to use the Note as a traditional tablet for drawing on a PC though, you can use a VPN client to clone your desktop to your tablet but this is laggy.
One of the things I would like to do is create an area for people with the CloverPaint extension to download and share their favourite brush settings for others to try out. Not sure where yet though...
