This is achieved using a simplified interface, a fully customizable layout of editing tools, and a wide range of brushes and coloring tools that make drawing easier. Users can even create their own unique bushes which can help them achieve the final image design easily.
The drawing process can be done with both mouse and touch inputs on PC, and if you feel inspired on the go, you can even find this exact app available on Applethe iPad platform. Once drawing, coloring, compositing and final touches are complete, users can access a comprehensive export tool that will prepare their paint for use in your specific projects, saving it to long-term storage, immediately sharing it on social networks, etc.
