ibis Paint

If you are passionate about drawing and want to sharpen your skills, then you need a good graphic editor to support your creativity. ibis Paint is an MS Store app that packs numerous advanced features to quality as a reliable option for creating digital art.

The interface and the app itself may seem overwhelming at first, particularly if you are just getting started and have never dealt with advanced graphic editors. On the other hand, the developer provides plenty of tutorials and even includes a YouTube channel where you can learn the ins and outs.

The tool features an abundance of features and tools for drawing, including thousands of fonts, materials, filters, screen tones, blending modes, rulers and brushes. Thanks to the variety, an experience artist can easily experiment with different styles and techniques to create original pieces.

The application is highly popular among manga creators, and the reason for that stems from the fact that it packs tools particularly aimed at this artistic genre. For starters, it comes with dozens of screen tones, like dot, square, slash, cross or horizontal, for example, that enable you to easily add shading and effects to manga panels. Moreover, the text can be added     vertically and horizontally, as a stroke and with multiple fonts.

Another useful feature for manga is the handy clipping option for layers that enable you to duplicate and clip images together. A panel can be moved, rotated, zoomed or inverted, according to the story.

According to the developer, the app is supported by OpenGL to ensure you have a comfortable drawing experience. As of such, it is possible to record your drawing experience and share it with your fans. The recording feature of ibis Paint can also be used so that you learn new drawing techniques from artists you enjoy.
