"Sand drawings are elegant geometric patterns produced directly on the ground which serve to transmit a wealth of traditional knowledge about local history, indigenous rituals and cosmologies, kinship systems, natural phenomena or farming techniques." - http://www.vanuatuculture.org/

And who knows, it’s probably the monochromatic visual presence of sand drawings that brings a sense of pleasant and peaceful mind. It’s also probably because drawing on sand allows us to experience the essence of the nature, leading us to a calm & relaxing moment. While we can’t say for sure, it’s no coincidence when most people find positive association between sand drawings and mindful well-being*.


The simulated sand drawing effect on "Drawing on Sand” has been carefully crafted to present a slightly distant perspective, allowing you to observe your sand drawings like viewing your thoughts from a distance.

"Drawing on Sand" dosen't limit you to drawing with your fingers. We have explicitly implemented a simulated “Sand Pendulum” based on true physics. You can let the app elegantly produce line patterns like a sand pendulum does. Simply tap on the lower left pendulum and it will move to the centre. You can then drag the pendulum to a desired direction, release, and watch as the pendulum sways and draws.

”Drawing on Sand” also brings you an unique immersive experience by allowing you to replay your latest hand drawing stroke by stroke. While some people find watching sand pendulum may inspire calm and concentration, we hope to further elevate the inspiration by allowing you to watch your own sand drawings replaying.

Experience your own sand drawings now.

This is actually pretty cool...

U can draw on it...like u do with most drawing and coloring apps...except it looked like sand... U can also replay all of ur drawings... And save them too... And if u click the little rock in the left corner...it'll draw in circles...just click it...then click it again and go... I honestly think this is a pretty cool app tho...I wish they would add more stuff tho...but until then...I'll give it a few stars...LOL...ttyl!!! :D


Not worth it

Needs sound. Needs more depth after you draw. Nice idea, though.


Arghh

It is a "sand drawing app". Effect could have more depth and width to become more realistic. Save/replay is a nice added touch that I have not seen elsewhere. Pendulum is more like a spiralgraph than anything but does taper down to some extent, although physics could be more refined to once again, be more realisic. All in all a well spent .99. No complaints, just advice to dev.


Cool!
