Autodesk has released a new update to their Sketchbook Pro Windows app. This is different from the regular Sketchbook Pro 8 Windows program. This app is for Windows tablets and is available in the Windows store. Basically the update adds more tools and brushes, but doesn't have all the full features of Sketchbook Pro 8 such as animation etc.

Drawing with Jazza is an excellent YouTube channel and I would highly recommend subscribing to it. He shows how to use Adobe Photoshop and basic fundamentals of drawing and animation. Now he has come out with an app for Android and IOS called Jazza's Arty Games. In this game, it gives you categories of things to draw in a certain time period. You can play the game by yourself or with a group. It's really a lot of fun. The app costs $2.99.

Adobe's latest release for their Adobe Draw app now adds functionality for tablets. It has been out for Android phones for a while now, but it didn't work on tablets until this last release. It is sort of a simplistic drawing app and doesn't have a lot of brushes, but it works well for simple drawing and coloring. It is also available on IOS and has been for a while.

I have the Surface Pro 3, but they didn't even release an update to customize the eraser button on it. Yes, I am trying to keep this forum going even though the admin has abandoned it. In the future I want to make a companion forum to this one where I can change the boards and add new ones. (It's on my to do list, lol.) I can only moderate comments on this one, but I can't change anything or update the boards on it.

This Huawei android tablet has a battery operated stylus so I would assume the Matebook will have one too. I don't know if the buttons are customizable on the Huawei. Microsoft finally made the stylus buttons customizable for the Surface Pro 4, but not for the Surface Pro 3 (Unless you delete the drivers and install Surface Pro 4 drivers which is sort of complicated.).

There have been some recent updates to Ibis Paint X. 21 new brushes have been added in addition to filters and a text tool. You can watch ads to unlock the new brushes or just buy them for around $3.00. A new oil paint brush that blends has also been added to the Samsung Artecture app.

I am always on the lookout for neat artistic type games and I have found a couple of beautiful games lately. The Adventures of Poco Eco is a beautiful game full of bright colors and awesome music. It is a point and click type of game and not complicated at all. The main emphasis of this game is the music. When you buy the game, you can download the soundtrack. The second game I have found is Gathering Sky. This game is a very simple touch game where you lead a flock of birds through the air accompanied by beautiful orchestral music. The artwork is beautiful and looks like watercolors. This game is also mainly about the music. These games are not complicated and are mostly about the artistic experience of music and images combined.

The app that was known as Doodledroid has been renamed Paint Rush and is now enabled for tablets. It is a nice simple painting app and has quite a few brush options.

Apple has just introduced their successor to the Ipad Air, the 9.7 inch Ipad Pro. This tablet also has the same properties as the 12.9 inch tablet including the ability to use the Apple Pencil. Also, the top storage for the Ipad Pro line has been increased to 256 GBs. Here is an article about the new tablet. www.macrumors.com/2016/03/21/apple-9-7-inch-ipad-pro/

Samsung has a new art app called Artecture Draw. It has tablet functionality and over 30 brushes. It also has a smudge tool and layers. It has pencils, airbrushes, paints, and stamps. This app is sort of like ArtFlow. Samsung keeps working on it and adding new features and it's getting better and better. You can get it at the Google Play Store or the Samsung App Store.

I do like that they have more apps available for multi-windows in the lollipop upgrade. Overall, I much prefer lollipop over kitkat especially since I updated my Note 8 to kitkat and it started having problems.

I don't know if it's out for the public yet, but in the beta version we now have the floating palette and color wheel. It's very nice. Anyone can be a beta tester. You just join the Infinite Painter Google Plus group and go to the download link. There is also a beta group on G plus for Infinite Design too.
