My favorite art app!

I love Zen Brush 2! This has been my principal drawing app since it was released. Simple & elegant, with a variety of options that make drawing fun & exciting! If I could own only one app, Zen Brush 2 would be it, & I would be forever delighted with my choice!


My new favorite

I bought a Sumi-e art to learn but I'm completely digital. Couldn't find any good brush for Procreate until I found this app. It's a challenge to draw here and at the same time it's blast. Thanks.


Extraordinary!

After years of using Zen Brush I think Zen Brush 2 is extraordinary. An amazing art program that does one thing extremely well: mimic the real-world flex and bristle spread of a sumi brush. The responsive and expressive nature of Zen brush is even more amazing with the iPad Pro and the Apple Pencil. The added benefits of the 5 “UNDO's” and DRY brush of version 2 makes it an outstanding addition. I love the ability to Save and Load previous drawings, add to them, and save as new artwork. The ability to Export (Save) as PNGs with Transparent backgrounds makes it ideal for use in Procreate, Concepts, or Affinity Photo (for iPad) and use the brushwork as layer to use with layered color artwork is AWESOME. In fact, the ONLY thing missing from this version of ZenBrush 2 is the ability to import art from Photos and use it as a springboard to create other artwork. (A single transparent layer would be perfect too.) but at least the ability to import from PHOTOS would be greatly appreciated. GREAT WORK Zen Brush team!!


Wow!

This is so brilliantly done. I never would have imagined the creative possibilities this offers. I might like to pick arbitrary ink colors. That might be cool.


Plz fix this bug!!!!

Unable to export artworks. The app shows”ALAssetsLibraryErrorDomain Data Unavalable”


serene & calming

by far one of my favorite apps when i want to just shut the mind off and draw. i find it focusing, calming and serene. the three ink styles and only two colors have an amazingly wide range of possibility and yet present a limiting challenge which i find quite enjoyable. i've spent hours in the evenings drawing with this app and have often generated some very good ideas. the rest is just FUN.


Wrong purchase
Zzzz boy

非常关键的提笔,无论如何都提不出如同下笔一样锐利的尖划,这需要改进~


Please let us choose COLORS!

The zen of painting is a nice and the different papers are beautiful. But there is nothing ZEN about painting the wrong shade of red on a color clashing paper. Please let us choose any color we want!
