PaintBox Art app analytics for October 21

PaintBox PaintBox is an iPad art app built for drawing, experimenting, animating, and occasionally making a complete mess on purpose. It has the tools you expect from a serious drawing workspace, but it isn’t trying to feel sterile or perfectly polished. PaintBox is made by one person, built around experimentation, and designed to feel a little weird, a little DIY, and fun to explore. Draw normally. Make a tiny animation. Build your own brushes. Corrupt your artwork until something unexpected happens. Made by one person. Built for play. THREE WAYS TO WORK Canvas A full raster drawing workspace for everyday illustration, sketching, painting, and experimenting with brushes. Animation A simple flipbook-style animation workspace with editable frames, onion skinning, frame timing, playback controls, a shared Draft Layer, and MP4, GIF, and APNG export. Corruption A deliberately unpredictable experimental art workspace. Stack visual Bugs into a live Bug Chain, draw through effects with the Box Pen, create your own Bugs, import and export .bug files, drop photos into your Source, and Bake results into frozen layers while you keep working. TOOLS INCLUDE Pen, Paint, Eraser, Eyedropper, Shapes, Box/Lasso Selection, Move and more Custom Pen and Paint brushes Brush Library with import/export Layers, groups, opacity, blend modes, clipping and alpha lock Color Studio, custom palettes and recent colors Apple Pencil pressure support Reference photos Undo/Redo and gesture controls Project saving and autosave PNG and JPEG artwork export MP4, GIF and APNG animation export Custom Corruption Bugs and shareable .bug files Box Pen tip, spacing, scatter, density, orientation and color-behavior controls Pen Effects including Stroke Melt, Corrupt Ink, Stencil Split, Ink Echo and Scribble Mosaic A very Windows-95-inspired interface PaintBox isn’t built around one “correct” way to make art. Use the clean tools when you want control. Use the strange ones when you don’t. Some features are intentionally experimental. Some results may be ugly. Some may be exactly what you were looking for. PaintBox is an art program for people who still like pressing buttons just to see what happens.
