What it does
ArtFlow is an Android painting app with pressure-sensitive brushes, masks and a paid Pro licence. Its free edition has explicit layer, undo and export limits.
The free edition provides three layers and six undo steps, without PSD export. Use those limits to plan a small study before starting a complex painting. A Pro purchase activates devices linked to the same Google account.
Custom brushes can come from imported images. The fuller toolset includes selections, clipping masks and layer filters, with PNG, JPG and PSD exchange. Canvas size and layer capacity depend on device memory. Pressure simulation and palm rejection are incompatible with some devices, so test the intended pen and tablet before relying on them.
Strengths
- Image-based custom brushes support a personal set of marks
- Masks and layered exchange support further editing
