Thanks. I am now starting to utilize the other two brush types to see how that works into my style. I marvel at how the guys in the sample pictures get what they do out of this program, but I definitely feel this program has a fairly good set of features for the cheap price they charge.

Thanks. I think I should stick to my cartoon style in this program, I'm just so much more comfortable with that.

I tried a tribute drawing to one of my favorite Hobbit paintings based on Bilbo's Last Song, you can see the painting it's based on right here, but it didn't work out too well:

I'm not, like, sad I drew it, but I definitely feel inadequate when I'm not in my stylistic comfort zone.

It looks like you got impatient when doing certain parts, especially the fields. I'd suggest trying to use more detail up front, and dial it back gradually when moving to the background.

I've been getting the App some use again, going to use it to make sketches for my upcoming comic project. Here's a first sample:

This app is awesome and the ultimate timesink.

Amir0x, thanks for sharing your stuff. I'm gonna pull it up on the 3DS and check out the playback and the layers.

I really want to work on one before the week is out.

I haven't done anything in Colors! 3D in a long time but here's my latest work. Took me a solid 5 hours in one sitting. I'm not sure if its actually Samus or her evil clone SA-X. I tried to give this a dangerous feel. What do you think gaf?

Great atmosphere. Is that a Metroid puddle on the ground?

This is a slightly different version of another drawing I recently did. It definitely looks better in 3D. If you want to see my other drawings my username is loboreeves.

Yes. Vita uses an OLED capacitive touch screen that supports multi-touch (used to zoom in Colors) and pressure sensitivity.

Capacitive and pressure sensitive... I don't think so.

Anyway, if using this on the Vita I would highly suggest anyone to invest in a capacitive stylus. Even if capacitive isn't as precise when it comes to drawing applications, the input comfort of a stylus mitigates that by a lot. Drawing with your fingers is nice for doodles, but it's not really enough to get satisfying results.

I wish this community wasn't dead! There should be lots of us using Colors especially now that its out on Vita. Anyways here's my latest painting. Its based on a still from the Wong Kar Wai movie "The Grandmasters". I used a bit of tracing for this one but also threw in lots of abstraction:

Sorry to once again bump this thread that few others seem interested in but Colors! for the 3ds is receiving a big update that should release some time in February. Here are the changes/new features:

Here is the new Gallery front page and as you can see, it’s quite slimmed down compared to the current version. I talked about “Followers” previously, and this is where the new paintings from the artists you follow will show up – right front and center. And see the new icon in the bottom right corner? That is for notifications. This button will be available throughout the gallery and will notify you when someone comments on or likes a painting of yours. Tapping the notification button will bring up a screen that gives you information about everything that’s been going on since the last time you visited the gallery. Now let’s take a look at what happens when you tap the Browse button.

As you can see, there is a bunch of new ways to browse the Colors! Gallery. You still have the Top/Weekly/New lists that we have right now, but now there is the search bar that I know many of you have been asking for. There are also a few brand new buttons: “Trending” can best be described as a best of the day. “New Scribbles” is where paintings that took less than 10 minutes to create will appear. That also means that New Paintings will only show paintings that took 10 minutes or MORE to create, which I think will make that list a bit nicer. Finally, there is a Featured Tags button, but I’ll save that one for a later post.

I love seeing everyone post. What did you guys think of the update?

I think it's such a huge upgrade in gallery features that it almost feels like a whole new release.

I don't think any of the drawing tools have been upgraded, not that they needed to be.

I'm loving going onto the gallery and not seeing friend codes everywhere. The weekly challenges sound cool too.

I'm juggling a few pieces. I just get frustrated at how long it takes to make progress and how not good they look afterwards. I'll post them in time. Would I be able to post the WIP and continue working on it, yeah? Or would it get locked?

I thought it was just a simply paint program until I saw the gallery...

Damn. The stuff is on par with Photoshop. And it's portable and only 7 bucks?!

They should put wacom digitizers behind these things and call it a day.

Had some experience with the app now and it's just as amazing as it looks. The interface is familiar to digital artists but takes some getting used to in a handheld format. There's a good amount of customization for the buttons too, which makes finding what you want much easier.

It's no surprise that it's a powerful tool judging from the output, but you've really gotta know what you're doing. It's pretty impressive how many undos it can handle and the fact that even a long painting session is recorded for you to share. I bought it immediately after turning on my 3DS for the first time and I've enjoyed every minute since. 3D imaging is also very nifty.

Wacom should team up with Ninty for the next 3DS and put some digitizers behind those touch screens.
