PaperColor

PaperColor is a hand-drawing application with loads of brushes so that you can use your Android smartphone's screen as if it were a real-life canvas.

Draw on a digital canvas with realistic effects

Drawing on the phone can be quite complicated and quite expensive. Although most modern day illustrators seem to have mastered the noble art of drawing on tablets, most of us are not professionals and don't own a graphics tablet or stylus pen. But what if there was a really easy to use Android application with perfect interfaces that you could download for free? Well, it just happens to exist, and it's called PaperColor. Get ready to enjoy your very own art.

Soft and realistic surfaces

Using this tool couldn't be easier: choose your brush, the thickness of your stroke, the opacity and the color. And from there you can just start painting. There are thirteen different brushes, four of which you have to pay for, and an eraser. When you transfer your ideas to the canvas, the softness and execution of the stroke is rather surprising since it is usually quite difficult to draw with a mobile device, which can cause the strokes to change, like when we put our signature on one writing digital screen. But that doesn't happen with this app, where the strokes are clean and appear exactly where we want to draw them.

We're talking about an amazing application with which it's really easy to create real works of art... well, maybe not so much, but you'll be able to draw something much more elaborate than a simple stick figure. If PaperColor has convinced you, you should consider buying the full version, although the basic version already offers you a lot of tools. If you choose to pay, you can access all of these options:
