The tens of thousands of programs in AppStorecan can provide more applications to the iPad and entertaining way. iPad without PhotoShop is bot surprisingly, the various software applications in many aspects of graphic production methods to iPad, and better than in real computer systems more convenient and gorgeous. Apple’s iPad is a powerful and versatile creation tool that allows artists to use their tablets as portable art studios. Here’s a rundown of some of the best art apps available for the iPad today.

When Apple first unveiled the iPad to the world, it was categorized as nothing more than a glorified media consumption device. Yet in the months that followed, app developers and creative users proved that the Apple tablet could also be a powerful and versatile creation tool. A little more than a year later, artists are using their iPads as portable art studios for everything from sketching ideas to painting digital masterpieces. But if you are new to finger painting—or digital art in general—it may be difficult to figure out how to proceed. So in the spirit of getting started, let’s simplify the process of creating artwork on the iPad with a rundown of some of the best iPad artwork apps available today.

Adobe Eazel: Adobe Eazel for Photoshop is Adobe’s first attempt at a painting app, and an exciting demonstration of how the iPad can be used in conjunction with desktop software. Eazel features an interesting liquid-paint simulation, which can produce natural looking, loose paint work. Adobe has implemented a unique five-finger interface for Eazel, which literally places its tools at your fingertips. This simplified interface is fun to use, but can be irritating at times, as it requires a certain degree of dexterity to navigate successfully. As an extension of Adobe Photoshop CS5, Eazel is worth a look, but as a standalone painting application, this version lacks basic features such as brush choices and layers.

Inkpad: So far, all of the apps mentioned are intended for artists who like to sketch and paint, but recently Steve Sprang/Taptrix, the developers of Brushes, released a new app called Inkpad, which is a full blown vector illustration app. Using your fingers you can tap and plot Bézier curves with the pen tool, draw geometric shapes, and make path adjustments as you work. Inkpad has an incredible depth of functionality with a well-thought-out user interface. There is a floating toolbar for the main toolset and pop-up menus for layers, color swatches, and path adjustments. Overall, Inkpad is a brilliantly executed iPad app and a mouth-watering prospect for any vector artist.

ArtStudio: Lucky Clan’s ArtStudio for iPad brings some of the best features from across a range of painting apps into one place and is probably the most desktop-like app that I have used on the iPad. It has a broad array of brushes including an airbrush, wet brush, and a useful scatter brush for creating patterns and textures. There are hidden panels of options for brushes, colors, and layers that give you extra choices, when needed.A great feature of ArtStudio is its filter panel for making stylized adjustments to your painting, such as Gaussian blur, sharpen, noise, and colorize. Unfortunately, the user interface suffers because of the number of tools available. Despite that, I found ArtStudio a quick app to navigate and easy to get used to working with.

If you are new to iPad finger painting or digital painting in general, Brushes and Procreate are by far the easiest apps to learn. They both have really clean interfaces and don’t overly complicate the process with too many settings. ArtStudio or SketchBook Pro may be better choices for more experienced users who are looking for an app with the same amount of options as a desktop package, while ArtRage is the obvious choice for artists looking to achieve a natural quality in their work.

There is no perfect iPad art app. Each has its own strengths and weaknesses—I often work with several different apps to complete a single piece of artwork. I consider Brushes to be my main iPad art app because it offers a good balance of features and usability with the option to playback and export your steps later. For me, that is a killer feature.

iPad, we can clearly foresee in the future it will be even greater prospects for development. Look forward more surprises and happiness iPad can bring to people.
