iPad and iPhone Artsy Apps!


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!
