Many artists these days are on the run and
using apps has increased our productivity.
We all have our favorites but seem to return
to the ones we love the best.
Peggi Meyer Graminski & I (Lynne) came up with
a short list of our favorite art apps to use on
an iPhone or an iPad. If you have an iPad,
the iPhone apps do work.
Not all of them are free & some have in-app
purchases but I don't think I've ever spent
more than $5 for any of these apps.
So here's our list:
BeFunky
InstaEffect
PS Express
MasterFX
Light Over Pic
Instagram
PicsArt
TangledFX
Glaze
SuperPhoto
Mystic
Snapseed
Pixlromatic
PhotoForge2
FilterMania2
GrungetasticHD
PaintFx
Scratch Cam
Photo Toaster
Laminar PRO
Photo Wizard
Brush FX
Photo FX
As long as you save your work, you can always
open it up in another app and add to it.
Some of these apps allow you to simply hop
from one app to another in their list
but saving each semi-finished photo
to your Camera Roll is the best course of action.
The photo at the top was created from scratch
in Master FX then saved & opened again
in Mystic. I might even open it in something else
to add some cool frame later on. If you use your
apps often enough, you know what each one does
so you can just keep adding until you get the
effect that you were hoping for.
I'm sure there are apps for the Android
so go take a look at the app store for
your particular device.
Take a look and have some artistic fun!
