Zen Brush 2 App Reviews

There are only 2colors dont waste your money and time getting this app

I didnt look carefully before I buy it. It only have two colors, which is really bad for me.

While this app integrates smooth functions with a beautiful layout...it limits its color wheel and amount of times you can undo. Most people would consider that this app has more downsides than its positives, but I have to appreciate its artistic creativity and its invoking of peace. I would say its worth the money, but if it was to be on sale, I would say that price would be more fitting. It depends on your perspective.

Actually I blame myself for not reading the description and reviews more thoroughly. I down loaded the app to my iPad Pro because I like to doodle and draw. What I discovered was that the lack of color selection was limited to 2 red or black. You can change backgrounds but this really wasnt what I was looking for. Once again my fault for not reading the description. I really do wish there was a trial period for apps.

I have used this app to create drawings since it came out and have made over 5,000 drawings with it. As a professional artist, i find it refreshing *not* to have so many color choices and bells and whistles. It keeps me from getting distracted by too many decisions and helps me just draw. This is why I have made so many! I also love the woodblock print feel of the drawings. I use my drawing time to de-stress and meditate, and when Im done I have these beautiful artworks. This app is great to use on the fly on your phone. I also use it if I want to write something down. I write it in this app and then save it to my camera roll. I use this app daily and highly recommend it. I wish I could save my drawings at higher resolution, but maybe they will enable that functionality in the future. Ive printed out my drawings as large as 18" X 24" and they look okay. I would like to go bigger though. Love this app!!! Get it! :-)

My favorite drawing app. I love the ease and immediacy of the drawing experience it provides. I have used zen brush for several years and now having zen brush 2 - Im happy!

Update 4/2/16: Thank you, thank you, thank you. What a gorgeous update. And works so smoothly. ZB remains my absolute favorite brush app. For kanji, its sooooo nice. I love version 1 too! I use both!

Yes it only has red and black color., though the two colors each has 3 shades. Because its for Traditional calligraphy and ink wash painting (aka 水墨畫 in Chinese and sumi-e in Japanese), which traditionally only use black ink. It recognizes the pressure of your stylus, which is very important for calligraphy. The erase function makes it superior than drawing on a real paper as it makes my work less failure rate. The price is very affordable and it saves the ink, brush, and paper costs. Not to mention the joy it brings. Great art app!!!

By far the best pure drawing experience of any app, period. As a professional illustrator with a style that relies on realistic brush technique, this is the only app I can trust to get the perfect look. However, since I do use this for professional ends, Id love to see integration with iCloud or Dropbox so I can more easily sync across devices and otherwise manage my files. Lastly, a small bit of UI advice - please move the Save menu further from the Delete icon. The two are dangerously near each other and could easily result in a catastrophic loss of work if someone mistaps, even by a little. Thanks!
