Hi, I just got a stylus for my xoom wifi and now I'm looking for a decent drawing app for it. Is there any pixel-based drawing app that supports layers and different brush sizes? I have been using Photoshop and Painter on PC so any app close to those two would be desirable. Thanks very much!
AutoDesk Sketchbook is what I use. Multi-layers, different tools, any colours, ect... you really can't go wrong. Try the free and if you like, buy the full version.
Thanks Chelseablue! Just bought the pro version after trying out the express version. It is really great!
Hey, you're welcome. I'm glad I was able to help.

Hi, do you know some "photoshop/gimp like" app for the Iconia A500 ?
thanks
Nico
Depends what you want to do really...
You could always give Photoshop a try...
I use this...
Well actually not this but the pro version. It suits me nicely but it still can't compare to a full blown computer with gimp or photoshop.
Give sketchbook lite a try. It's pretty good.
I recently went to the samsung app store and picked up sketchbook pro note version with the spen button shortcut, I was under the impression when I picked it up I could mod the spen button to any shortcut I wanted and this is not the case. I was wondering if there is any way someone that knows how to modify it so that spen button would bring up the eye dropper tool, I use the eye dropper a lot for blending and would really appreciate any help ty

Try Clover Paint out. You can customize what the S-Pen button does (on contact, or while hovering). It's a pretty powerful painting app, and the UI requires a little getting used to. IMO, it's the best sketching/painting app on Android.
I do really like the way sketchbook work but I'm willing to give it a shot, you have a link?

Sorry for resurrecting that thread, but I bought Sketchbook Pro a few hours ago.
I've been playing with it and enjoying it, but was wondering about a few things that keep me from getting the full experience. Was hoping you guys could help me out or point me in the right direction.
1. In LectureNotes, the S-pen has this little dot on the screen where the pen points... Any way to enable this on Sketchbook pro?
2. Is there some way to make use of the S-button ? Would really love to use it like a one-time eraser as in LectureNotes.
3. The resolution seem really low... Zooming in just shows extremely blurry lines, as opposed to Quill or (again) LectureNotes. Increasing the size doesn't help... Any way to change that ?
4. And also block the canvas from resizing because of the palm... It gets pretty annoying.
If none of that's possible in Sketchbook pro, is there any that actually can do all that and is similar it?
Thanks in advance !

enable pen mode in the options will solve 1 and 4
what's the difference between the version in play store and the one in samsung store...
I bought the one from the play store
Pen mode is already activated, the only response my fingers get are the resizing and menu browsing... I searched every option (again) I could find, could not find anything related to my post above.
I don't know about the Samsung store version however, I always use the Play Store. But I doubt the versions be different.
What about infinite painter for note

No worries, those are more my speed.
Nobody posts artwork done on their GN10.1 2014 anymore?
Here's something i painted recently using Artflow Studio and PS Touch
Wicked mate!! Kudos
Hi, long time forum lurker, first time post.
Image done in sketchbook pro
these are my best so far lol
This is my most recent, though I did many on my 2012 10.1. I have only done 2 on the new one so far.
Actually I will post both of the ones I've done on my 10.1 2014, why not.
Haven't really started to explore the artistic side of the Note and can't wait to start either tbh but this was my first attempt - not the best I know but a start anyways.
P.s I love minions haha

It's pretty similar to SketchBook in terms of what it does although it doesn't have the wider selection of fancy preset brushes. I've listed below a few advantages (and disadvantages) which made me use it more than SBP:
Pros:
- More layers on a 4K canvas. Depending on what tablet you use, you can have 16 layers even if you max-out the canvas size.
- More levels of undo and redo function (can probably go over 100 if you adjust the settings). I think SketchBook only has 10 levels of undo and redo. You can even undo layer merging in Artflow.
- More layer blending options.
- Smoother brush engine, particularly if you want to replicate pencil work. IMO anyway since experience is subjective.
- Awesome customer support. They actually listen to customer's problems and reply to you personally and quickly. And more often than not, will issue an update that will fix your problem quicker than the devs at Sketchbook Pro.
- More frequent improvement updates that introduces enhanced or added features.
Cons:
- No portrait mode.
- Fewer preset brushes.
- No Copic color presets (i kinda miss this the most)
Here's a few screenshot of the interface of Artflow:

No portrait mode? Thats kind of a biggy, I dont think I've drawn anything on my note 2014 in landscape mode, it just seems more comfortable in portrait for sketching... I'm surprised that it is locked to landscape, seems strange!

Yeah, at first it kind of bothered me too since i came from SBP. But i learned to live without portrait mode when i think of the fact that this is the same way i draw digitally on my laptop using a graphics tablet since i don't reorient my laptop monitor to portrait just to do portraits. But i think the devs are working on integrating portrait mode, it's just a matter of time before its implemented.

No problem. I also use my paintings as wallpapers too (i post screenshots of them over at the Android community on Google Plus). Btw, when you say "dirty" you meant it literally right? lol
You can use the Droidiris app to look for images on the web you might like to paint.

I'm back on the scene and will be researching the best stylus apps. I'll be looking for functionality and development of flowcharts, project design, to sketching vector and pixel based drawing.
Here's some of the regular free apps I always download (some may need root or sourced from maker);
Hackers Keyboard - Great for coders as offers near to desktop keyboard layouts. Like ESC, Ctrl, arrow Keys, etc.
DNS Changer - Allows you to change the dns provider, maybe making internet faster, and avoiding usage monitoring.
SyncMe Wireless - Allows you to sync directories with other computers. Example an eBook directory off your desktop.
AdAway - Removes commercials from Apps by cutting internet url access.
Link2SD - Allows you to manipulate Apps like moving them onto different partitions. Example pushing updated Apps back to their system partition so system wipes retain the latest version.
Droidwall - Iptable based firewall. Lets you choose which Apps have internet access, blocked at a system kernel level.
Good post m8 would also be interesting in paid apps ur also using if u got a min to post tnx :thumbup:

MyScript Stylus Beta works amazingly well!
While im absolutely impressed with the resolution and tracking of the capacitive stylus on the Tegra note, im dissapointed that no reviewer to date showed the actual level of resolution it was capable of. I would have still purchased, but i cannot write as small as im used to on the screen cleanly. The device wont cleanly track at that size and speed, only displaying "the gist" of my strokes. Does anyone have any suggestions for page by page note taking app that mitigates this? Really looking for an app where i dont have to keep repositioning the writing area manually, as it really disrupts the flow of writing.
I like Markers from the F-Droid Market. MyScript Stylus Beta is cool, but it seems slower than swyping in the Google Keyboard.

Markers looks strangely familiar, seems an updated version of the Tegra Draw app that came with my UK Advent tablet, has a zoom and move around page function, hand icon.
Tried Myscript Stylus and yes, found slower than swyping keyboard.
Been playing with Floor Plan Creator, have to pay to save out in various formats but otherwise free, works well with the stylus.
And of course Autodesk SketchBook I have the pro and nice drawing app with the stylus.
Just trying ArtFlow, good support for the stylus.
Still new to the Tegra and will add here as we go along, enjoying this tablet, would like a bigger screen tho.....
Hello and greetings.
I've been wondering if it's possible to use s pen features with fingers and not the s pen? I've searched alot about this question with no luck.
Any suggestions?

If you want just for drawing i can use iBis Paint X. The app is very good for drawing more than S note.
The app used for any android device without pen. So its morebpowerfull if you have note phone.
If you mean for screenshot/ crop / or other like pen out you cant so it
