I love to play all the Angry Birds games because they have simple controls, lol, but I also like the scenery behind the game. They also have internet cartoons that you can watch and they have done a good job on the animation. Big Fish Games has released Drawn: The Painted Tower which was originally on the PC. Drawn has beautiful graphics. Assassins Creed IV has some fantastic graphics, but it is a huge game (over 600 MBs) so if one doesn't have much room on their device, it might be better to get it on the PC or video game console. Game graphics are getting so advanced now that they look like a movie. So I guess I like games more for their art than game playing. Plants vs. Zombies is a lot of fun though!

This is a quick landscape done with Auryn Ink and SketchBook Ink. I wanted to see if I could get the painting to look like a real watercolor and ink drawing. I think I succeeded! I will have to experiment further with these apps.

Oh yes, I forgot about Handy. That one is really nice too! If you are interested in drawing Manga, Sean Brakefield also has an app called Infinite Manga that is sort of similar to Manga Studio for the PC. He also has a storyboard app called Storyboard Studio and an animation one called Animation Studio, if you are interested in animation.

There are some very good reference apps to aid in your drawings on android tablets. They are sort of along the lines of the PC software Poser 10. The apps that I have found are Pose Tool, Horse Pose Tool 3D, Manga Pose Tool 3D, MARA 3D Facial Expressions, MARA 3D Monsters, MARA 3D Male and Female Anatomy (2 different apps), and MARA 3D Human Anatomy. There is another one called Pose 3D that I haven't tried yet.

_ _ 'Waterfall Lesson' There is a newer and more complex app from the developer of LayerPaint called LayerPaint HD. This app has a lot more features than the original LayerPaint. I created a waterfall painting using this app for a lesson on how to paint waterfalls at wizzley.com/how-to-paint-a-waterfall-using-the-android-app-layerpaint-hd/ It has some really nice features including a watercolor brush that you can use for blending.

Snapseed is a very nice app for editing digital paintings as well as photos. It has neat controls and is easy to use. Pixlr Express, Photo Editor and Photoshop Express are good free alternatives to Photoshop Touch if you are just doing some light editing. If you are working with big effects, then I would definitely recommend Photoshop Touch. There are tons more apps out there, but these seem to be the most popular.

_ __ _ 'Riotous Color' 'Fall Lesson' SketchBook Pro for Android is a very nice program. I have done a lesson on how to paint the fall season using the Sketchbook Pro app at wizzley.com/how-to-paint-a-fall-scene-using-sketchbook-pro-for-android-tablets/ I also painted a fall season with colorful trees using Sketchbook Pro and it turned out well. It would be nice if Autodesk could add paint mixing like they have in Sketchbook Pro 6 for the PC.

_ __ _ 'Ghost of the Past' 'Night Scene Lesson' I have a lesson on how to paint night scenes in Infinite Painter at wizzley.com/how-to-paint-a-night-scene-using-the-infinite-painter-android-app/ The app has been updated several times since this lesson, but you can get the general idea of how to use it. I will eventually do another lesson showing the new features in the app, but I haven't done it yet. I also did another night scene in Infinite Painter and uploaded it to my Twenty20.com gallery. This company can print your pictures even with a dpi as low as 72.

_ _ F or anyone who is interested in using Artflow, I have a lesson on how to paint snow scenes at wizzley.com/how-to-paint-a-snow-scene-using-the-android-painting-app-artflow/ This lesson shows you how to paint using the Artflow app and I also have a few pointers on how that translates into traditional acrylic painting. Since I am an artist, I really like apps that mimic real painting mediums. The tablet I painted this on is a first generation Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1.

Yes, I have tried nearly every painting app that I can find. There are tons of very basic apps, but android is getting more and more sophisticated painting apps as it grows. Hopefully, we can get one the equal of Procreate, an ipad app, that is very good. Infinite Painter is getting very close. Here are some of the features listed for it at the Google Play Store: a 100 plus brushes, blending and mixing mode, pressure sensitivity and support for the s pen, liquify, unlimited layers, project playback, 2048 by 2048 pixels, drawing guides, 5 drawing modes, a reference image window, and import and export functions. In my opinion, the s pen is the best drawing stylus for tablets and that's why I use android tablets. (They are also more affordable and you don't have to deal with the proprietary nature of itunes.)

My favorite on your list is Infinite Painter. The developer, Sean Brakefield, works very hard to improve this app and with every update it gets better and better. There is another app called Serious Paint that is pretty good. I haven't worked with it extensively yet, but I will. ArtRage has promised they are making an android app, but there is no release date yet. I think Adobe is not supporting Adobe Ideas for android anymore. Colors is an awesome app that lets you watch the playback of how a picture is painted. Doodledroid is nice, but doesn't have layers. Still I have made some nice paintings with it. Magic Doodle Premium is a pretty good program. Pencil Madness is a simple sketching program. Zen Brush is really fun and has some neat backgrounds to sketch on. Line Brush is a neat program that mimics natural media, but it doesn't have layers. Silk Paints is a neat program. The developer of Paperless has come out with a new app called Ink- Sketch, Paint, and Draw. It has more drawing tools than Paperless. There are some more simple apps, but those are the more complex ones that have recently come out for Android. Personally, I can't wait for ArtRage. I have it on my PC and I just love it! It will be great on my Galaxy Note 8 and 10.1 tablets!
