Samsung has released their new Note 9 phone and will soon be releasing their new Android tablet. This will be the Samsung Galaxy Tab S4. It will be bigger than the S3 at 10.5 inches and will have the S Pen. Like the S3, the pen will not slide into the tablet so you will need a separate holder. The S Pen function on the S4 will be the same as the S3. What is different besides the size is the screen and battery are a little bit better and the processor is newer. It will also come with the lastest version of Samsung's multi-windows function called Samsung Dex. This sort of makes your tablet into a windows like PC and you can use a keyboard or mouse. (Those are sold separately.) Check out Sakitech for some good videos on YouTube about the S4. Here is his channel www.youtube.com/user/sakitech

Corel Painter 2019 has been released! Most of the changes have to do with performance and UI setups. I think there are a few new pattern brushes added as well. I really like this new release because thay have come up with a great layout version for tablets. The Simple layout works great for my Surface Pro 3 tablet and gives you more screen room. I also like the new templates options that use common canvas or paper sizes.

The watercolor simulating program Rebelle has just released its 3rd version. In this version the watercolor has been made even more realistic, more textures are available, and more masking features are available. The full program now costs $89.99 or if you have a previous version the upgrade is $39.99.

Yes, it's a really nice app. I've had time to play with it now and it is probably one of the best animating apps on Android. Too bad projects can't be shared in IOS. I think you can in Android, but I am not completely sure.

Corel Painter is releasing a new version of Painter Essentials for the PC. Painter Essentials is a scaled down version of the big Painter program and is designed more towards photo editing. The new Painter Essentials 6 will have new brushes, a new UI, be more tablet friendly, and run smoother. It's not out for the general public yet, but those who own Painter Essentials 5 can get a special upgrade offer right now.

Today Autodesk released a huge new update to SketchBook Pro for Android. They added several new brush sets including texture brushes, added shortcut buttons, new color swatches, and more. The UI has been updated as well. The improvements are very nice.

Finally, Monument Valley 2 is available on Android. It has been out on IOS for a while now, but came out for Android today. This is one of my favorite games because it has beautiful artwork and music. This game is a point and tap puzzle game just like the first one. It costs $4.99.

Infinite Painter has line stabilizers in its options and ArtRage for Android has line smoothing in its pen categories.

The Sketch brush category has some pastel brushes in it and you can click on the settings button and change textures, jitter, etc. The Julian and Kurt brushes in this category can be modified and saved as new variants. I don't think you can import Adobe brushes into Infinite Painter. You can use the image that the Adobe brush makes and create a brush in Infinite Painter. There is a community on Google Plus for Infinite Painter and there you can talk to the developer and get detailed answers to all your questions. Here is the link to the community. plus.google.com/communities/115913927013393817992

I didn't know they had new filters every day! I'll have to check it more often.

I seems early, but Corel has released Painter 2018. They have added a new category called 'Thick Paint'. This category has brushes that look like thick oil paint sort of like the brushes in ArtRage. They have also added some more naturalistic looking brushes in other categories such as the Pen and Pencil and the Sargent category. They have also added brushes for painting 3d models. For those that own last year's version Painter 2017, there is a limited time special offer of $129 upgrade. The regular price is $429 for the first time purchase and $229 for an upgrade.
