Hmmm... I liek the pressure control idea...
Too bad i dont have my ds :'(

Destructobot · Jun 28, 2007

The DS can tell how hard you're pressing on the touchscreen? I've never heard that before.

DS64 · Jun 28, 2007

I was quite surprised about the pressure thing too. It feels better drawing with this than Phidias.

Edit: my creation. I know, I suck at drawing, but it releases stress.

Destructobot · Jun 28, 2007

The pressure sensitivity is not consistant from one area of my touchscreen to another. The middle part of the bottom of the screen in particular seems much less sensitive than other areas.

can ds... detect pressure ? what the fuck? it has no sensor for detecting pressure?

.TakaM · Jun 28, 2007

this is an excellent program, especially for only 1.02
I'm really looking forward to future releases

Post a link to a youtube video showing "Replay the whole painting process of an image"

IMO that is its coolest feature, setting it apart from the other drawing program i use on DS, Phidias.

The mystery of the mysterious pressure detection of mysticism shall be solved yet...

gtfo.

Anyway, this looks to be a pretty cool app. The DS has a lot of potential in the drawing/paint apps field, nice to see more homebrew developers taking a shot at it! I will definitely be trying this one out.

Very good paint app. It need an eraser tool, so you can undo any mistake you'd made. Gret work by the coders! Thanks.

OT: Besides the two homebrew (Phidias and Colors), are there commercial apps (any language) that work like these (the built-in messaging app aside, that is)?

Psyfira · Jun 28, 2007

Love it!

Having the dot on the brush size slider is brilliant.

Warning: Does not instantly teach you how to draw well with digital media
