Zen Brush 2 for Positive User Reviews
✓ It would be amazing with layers addedThis is a great app for those who want to emulate a realistic ink brush used in East Asian calligraphy and art. I feature I would love to see is way to add layers and import pictures so that we can customize our artwork into specific designs and boundaries. This is an amazing app to have!.Version: 1.21
✓ Great appI like it way better then the next version It’s less advanced but more Zen.Version: 1.30
✓ I love itI use only my finger and I love how responsive it is and how easy it is to clear the page when I’m experimenting..Version: 1.22
✓ My new favoriteI bought a Sumi-e art to learn but I'm completely digital. Couldn't find any good brush for Procreate until I found this app. It's a challenge to draw here and at the same time it's blast. Thanks..Version: 1.13
✓ Perfect for sketchingThis app has everything i need for sketching and nothing i don’t. it’s a lot like sketching with a few grey markers and a set of fine liners. only feature i’d like is an option to only draw with apple pencil and completely ignore any touch input..Version: 1.18
✓ Wow!This is so brilliantly done. I never would have imagined the creative possibilities this offers. I might like to pick arbitrary ink colors. That might be cool..Version: 1.18
✓ So simple, yet robust and beautiful...It was a little intimidating at first. This app is not your average sketch app... there is just one brush tool (with 2 colors, three levels of transparency, and 4 texture/wetness levels), no layers, and not a lot of editing tools besides a deep but limited undo button. This art app is specifically focused on the Japanese Ink brush style, and challenges the user to reinvent how they express themselves artistically. Novices to digital painting or sketching may find this app too specific, but anyone and everyone will enjoy stepping up to the challenge of painting in this minimalist style. Full disclosure: I am categorically a “noob” at digital art making in any style!!! But I have a deep passion for exploring and learning how to use art making apps on the iPad 6th gen with iOS12. This is the ideal app for anyone interested in high tech digital painting in this ancient traditional technique. Be sure to use the Apple Pencil (or other supported “active” stylus) to make the most of the pressure and angle sensitivity for the fullest range of the virtual brush’s expressivity..Version: 1.25
✓ Please add custom guides!The app is fantastic, best app for Japanese calligraphy that I’ve tried, the only thing it’s lacking is the ability to upload our own grid and guides. I like to use a 6° lines guide when writing kanji, a customised version of which I’ve created to use with Procreate - it would be great to use it with the more authentic feeling brush that this app offers..Version: 1.27
✓ Zen Brush 2 is amazingI had lost interest in digital art for some reason. However I’ve just downloaded this app and I feel inspired once again. Thank you so much for this app..Version: 1.25
✓ The best IOS/IPadOS drawing app there isI would not be without this superb sketching and drawing app. Beautifully recreates the experience of pen and pencil work like no other. Just one gripe. Please, for the love of god , DITCH THE OPENING POPUP. Note: I already bought Zen Brush 3. Enough with the reminders..Version: 1.31
✓ Please Take Care of This AppI hope they don’t abandon this app now that ZB3 is out. ZB3 is complicating itself with added features like layers, turning it more into any other drawing app than the simple meditative concept that ZB 1 and 2 offered. Devs, please keep ZB2 up to date. TY.Version: 1.30
✓ Exactly as advertisedNice Zen like drawing experience. So convenient on the iPad Pro with Apple Pencil..Version: 1.25
✓ Very niceLoved using the app so far. I’m using an Apple Pencil and find finger input really annoying. Needs to be an option to disable brushing with the finger please. Other than that no complaints, very slick..Version: 1.24
✓ Love itI bought this app because 'Drawing and Painting and on the ipad' by D seidi recommended or for doing the exercises in chapter one. I'm so pleased I did. The book is good but assume you're new to the technology and art. But, once you're over that it's authority is clear. She isn't a prize winner for nothing. The app has a wonderful feel about it. I drew about 100 Japanese circles and just trashed them one after the other. I could not or would not do that with paper and ink. There is the real strength of this technology in art. You need your flying time and you get it with this app. My confidence in moving the brush around and how it behaves in south the modest price of the app. I'd recommend it. PS for style I use 53, it feels right too..Version: 1.03
✓ Brilliant! I’m finally glad I bought the pencil :-)One of those rare apps that’s exactly the way I would do it. I would love to have the option for disappearing ink that fades away after a several seconds..Version: 1.25
✓ Fabulous UpgradeZen Brush was always a wonderful app, true to its name simple and yet subtly powerful. This is a fine upgrade, perhaps to many fiddle options, but the price is excellent and the support for various stylus choices is lovely. Also as in the original: The extra bits are discoverable. It does not really need directions..Version: 1.21
✓ Realistic brushstrokes, minimal contentI am delighted by this app it's feel it is tremendously realistic. A wide variety of paper types, frames, backgrounds yet not so much of brushes and colours. I think for this app to be perfect if just a few more properties were developed under each brushes, colours to pick from that match the canvas or work space. Besides that awesome work worth every penny!.Version: 1.0
✓ This is coolI wish I could write better so I could tell you how cool this is, but I can’t, so I’ll just say it’s cool and fun and everything seems to work on iPad gen 5..Version: 1.27
✓ Invaluable learning toolI’m currently learning to speak, read, and write Mandarin Chinese. Another student recommended this app to practice the characters. It’s hugely useful to me. Writing on a paper notepad with a ballpoint pen doesn’t do justice to the exquisite characters of Chinese (and Japanese) calligraphy. Haven’t tried any artwork, but for 汉字 practice, I can’t recommend it highly enough..Version: 1.27
✓ A fantastic and simple paint applicationThe only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars was that it doesn’t save your artwork in iCloud. I have several devices with this application and it would be nice to have all of my works consolidated for access throughout all of them..Version: 1.21
✓ Less is more!This app its not loaded with unnecessary tools, minimal amount of tools and presets but enough to create beautiful art. With an iPad and bamboo stylus this is one of the most rewarding app I used..Version: 1.24
✓ AmazingThis app is so realistic- it is so much like a real brush. Amazing quality - worth it.Version: 1.02
✓ Amazing appThe creative possibilities are limitless with this app. Each update has just been fantastic, too..Version: 1.05
✓ Love the app, one requestPlease add layers, otherwise it’s a wonderful app. Very fun too..Version: 1.25
✓ Good for training coligraphy skills.Tools are amazing. Awesome modern and traditional papers to draw on and awesome themed borders and background. Needs more source of colours, the app only has. Dark Black,Grey,Light grey,red,light pink and very light pink.Cool sound track of traditional Chinese music. Above all it’s a great app!.Version: 1.25
✓ Nice App!Finally, a simple, straightforward app that is a pleasure to use! Well done, folks!.Version: 1.02
✓ Fun app!I’m enjoying this ability to sketch and play..Version: 1.18
✓ Needs iCloud supportHave done 2000 drawings of figures walking by my window but I need to save first then save to photos. Wish is was more simple like the app.Version: 1.26
✓ Almost perfectNeed more color feature. Need layering feature. Everything else is perfect. Love it..Version: 1.21
✓ Awesome!I have been looking for an app like this for ages! It’s amazing! Works amazingly on iPhone and iPad, especially with Apple Pencil. All the different paper options are great too! The only thing I wish it had was a couple of different paper sizes (for example square, and screen ratio size)..Version: 1.20
✓ Serene & calmingBy far one of my favorite apps when i want to just shut the mind off and draw. i find it focusing, calming and serene. the three ink styles and only two colors have an amazingly wide range of possibility and yet present a limiting challenge which i find quite enjoyable. i've spent hours in the evenings drawing with this app and have often generated some very good ideas. the rest is just FUN..Version: 1.18
✓ IMesage sticker pad is awesome!It’s neat to be able to draw in iMessage and send as a sticker or as a photo. Unexpected and totally awesome!.Version: 1.25
✓ RelaxingReally relaxing app. The ink spreads nicely though the dry brush seems a little bit less realistic. My only complaint is that it lacks full support for my "53" Pencil..Version: 1.18
✓ Plz fix this bug!!!!Unable to export artworks. The app shows”ALAssetsLibraryErrorDomain Data Unavalable”.Version: 1.18
✓ A significant upgradeReally enjoying the new features and capabilities.Version: 1.0
✓ Extraordinary!After years of using Zen Brush I think Zen Brush 2 is extraordinary. An amazing art program that does one thing extremely well: mimic the real-world flex and bristle spread of a sumi brush. The responsive and expressive nature of Zen brush is even more amazing with the iPad Pro and the Apple Pencil. The added benefits of the 5 “UNDO's” and DRY brush of version 2 makes it an outstanding addition. I love the ability to Save and Load previous drawings, add to them, and save as new artwork. The ability to Export (Save) as PNGs with Transparent backgrounds makes it ideal for use in Procreate, Concepts, or Affinity Photo (for iPad) and use the brushwork as layer to use with layered color artwork is AWESOME. In fact, the ONLY thing missing from this version of ZenBrush 2 is the ability to import art from Photos and use it as a springboard to create other artwork. (A single transparent layer would be perfect too.) but at least the ability to import from PHOTOS would be greatly appreciated. GREAT WORK Zen Brush team!!.Version: 1.13
✓ Zen brush 2Makes an amateur look good. I've surprised myself a few times. After a while the brush strokes take on a life (style) of their own..Version: 1.25
✓ Fantastic and relaxingThis game is the perfect thing to curl up to on a stressful day to relax. The price is a bit of a hook, but considering there are no in app purchases. Nothing ticks me off more than art supplies in a game that are “off limits”. Oh well. Get this game, you won’t regret it..Version: 1.23
✓ Very cool appI was very impressed with this app. But i would advice you have the pen to make live easy to draw with. Besides that it’s well worth it and keep in mind it’s great for quick drawing style. The whole idea I feel is to keep drawings simple. For the developers of this app could you add a few more tools to this app like you have in the zen brush 3 as a alway come back to using it . To move and scale the drawings would be fab. Since you have all the coding it be easy to update this app. Thanks.Version: 1.32
✓ BeautifulFeel so relaxed using this app. Can't wait to try the Apple pencil with it.Version: 1.02
✓ Zen Brush 3 is even better!!!I love this app! If you do, too, you might check out Zen Brush 3, which gives you a lot more colors, etc.Version: 1.29
✓ EXECLENT!Zen Brush 2 is amazing. I really,really REALLY like Japanese! THX FOR THE APP!.Version: 1.30
✓ FantasticIt's easy to create drawings that resemble Japanese wall scrolls with this program. The ink spreads out and brush strokes look so natural. It's a joy to paint with and the act of creation is the point really rather than the finished art..Version: 1.09
✓ What a great sequel......was sceptical at first as I already bought the 1st iteration of this app but this version offers a great deal more...the dry/wet stroke effect is absolutely brilliant which allows for more creative options. My only gripe thus far is the tools bar...on a 6+ too much screen estate is sacrificed due to its large size...make that move up towards the screen like the iPad version and issue goes away...otherwise great app!!.Version: 1.0
✓ Great updateI love the elegance and stark simplicity of this App...my only regret is no support for Pencil 53. Hope it can be included in future releases..Version: 1.04
✓ Lots of FunOn the surface this app looks very simple or basic, but this is not true. There lots of possibilities to have creative fun with. Enjoy :-).Version: 1.07
✓ My favoriteThis is my favorite drawing app. Its simplicity is its strength. Easy to use with the ability to save incrementally. I use the Apple Pencil. When I finish a drawing I email it to myself and save in a file before posting on Pinterest. My only problem is that I have hit the delete button by mistake and there goes the drawing! No recovery. If I could have one thing different it would be the placement of the delete somewhere else so no accidental deletes!.Version: 1.25
✓ Perfect drawing tool !Simple, easy to use, great brush control. This app and iPad together are a great creative tool..Version: 1.25
✓ Awesome appAwesome app I love art and this app if the best app to do art on :D.Version: 1.0
✓ The Missing LinkI have always loved the feel and tool realism of this iOS app on my iPad Pro. But there is one very important option missing that prevents me from using it and giving it 5 stars: The ability to import a background photo for ‘tracing’ purposes and color selection. If this upgrade happens, it will be #1 for me!.Version: 1.29
✓ Awesome!!Fun and easy to use!! I hope there will be more colour.. like green or blue...Version: 1.20
✓ One Of My FavoritesI've been using this app since the first Zen Brush hit the App Store. Zen Brush 2 added some cool features but maintained its dedication to Chinese calligraphy. And now you can use it in the messages app. If you're into Chinese calligraphy, this is great. But if you're just an artist then this is still fantastic. It places limitations on you and forces you to get creative. You don't have a pallet of colors. You essentially have black, sometimes brown, white, and a third color which varies depending on what background are using. If you like graffiti art, this might be a great app for you. If you like cartooning, that's me, then this will be a great app for you. If you just like drawing using lines of different thicknesses, This app is for you. It's consistently updated with the latest stylus updates. Many different stylus' are supported. Hit the buy button. It's great!.Version: 1.21
✓ Loading and saving problemsI really enjoy using this app. However, sometimes the load menu seems to load a blank canvas, even though I had just saved an image. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. Also it would be good to be able to set the brush size numerically without using the slider, or even to be able to save default brush sizes..Version: 1.25
✓ Beautiful SimplicitySuch a beautiful and simplistic app that allows for the creation of elegant ink paintings. The paper types are akin to photo filters- adding depth to an image. There's only one brush, but three viscosities of ink which allow for quite a bit of variation. Having layers would help take these ink sketches to a new level, although the omission of it gives more authenticity to real sumi ink painting. It would also be nice to have colours other than red and black, although it's easy enough to import the image into other art apps. This program works very well with the watercolour mode in Adobe sketch. I highly recommend trying this app. I have yet to try this app with a pressure sensitive stylus, though I imagine the experience would be much better..Version: 1.02
✓ Great app for Chinese traditional painting artistFinally. I got my Chinese traditional brush on iPad pro. I am So excited. You can draw Chinese painting and writing Chinese calligraphic work now. I waiting this long time ago. Thanks app developer . Just one thing is need more Chinese trading painting color ，then will be perfect..Version: 1.02
✓ Great but needs zoomGreat but needs zoom.Version: 1.0
✓ Cool doodle app but would be better ifWould be better if you could change colors. I think it would be much more useful with at least primary colors. Until that is upgraded it’s more of a toy..Version: 1.24
