Top 3 Painting Apps for Android

These are my top collection of painting applications which i personally use.

1.Adobe illustrator 

   Adobe illustrator is my top most pic amongst the collection because of the picture quality it offers,this is because it is based on vectors and not pixels so it holds its clarity while zooming.only few Android applications has this advantage and Adobe illustrator is one of them.

It has a clean and simple ui so it is easy to use.
It has a bunch of shapes preloaded but you can always add more shapes using adobe capture cc.
You can export your painting to adobe photoPhot,comp cc or save it to your local storage with or without background dire.ctly from the app itself.

Features:

• Zoom up to 64x to apply finer details. 
• Sketch with five different pen tips with adjustable opacity, size and color.
• Work with multiple image and drawing layers.
• Rename, duplicate, merge and adjust each individual layer. 
• Insert basic shape stencils or new vector shapes from Capture CC.

• Send an editable native file to Illustrator or a PSD to Photoshop that automatically opens on your desktop.

3.Autodesk sketchbook

  Sketchbook is a free application but you need to subscribe for unlocking all its features.

Autodesk is also popular for its photo editing app pixlr.

With sketchbook you can seamlessly sync your paintings between your Android phone,desktop or pc and continue editing across all your platforms.

Features

Autodesk SketchBook is the award-winning drawing app from the leader in computer-aided design. It's made for creative professionals, aspiring artists, and anyone who likes to capture their ideas in digital form. Known for its natural drawing experience and clean user interface that gets out of your way, SketchBook has everything you need to create beautiful digital art. The brush engine has 170 default brushes you can customize, so they'll always perform exactly as you expect. Ink feels fluid and smooth, synthetic brushes blend colors in a natural way, and texture brushes mimic natural media.

The SketchBook drawing and rendering engine was designed to use the full computing power of every Android device, especially those with a stylus and GPU. Rapid UI mode lets your free hand pull up interface elements when needed for the largest possible workspace on your tablet.

The list of tools in SketchBook is vast, but a few standouts that will help make you a better artist include:

• Radial Symmetry: Product designers and mandala makers alike love the ability to draw once and replicate their lines up to 16 times using Radial Symmetry.

• Predictive Stroke: Draw a line and our Predictive Stroke assertive technology will make your line straight. Draw a basic shape and it will make your circles, rectangles, and triangles more precise. If you're drawing freehand, it will add just the right amount of smoothing to curved lines. Don't need help? Turn it down or turn it off.

• Ruler and Ellipse: Perspective is everything in drawing, and our Ruler and Ellipse tool will help ensure you're realizing the correct positioning, size, rotation, and aspect ratio.

• Full Layer Support: SketchBook opens and exports Photoshop documents (PSD files) natively, preserving layer names and blending modes.

• Scan Sketch: With a quick snap of your device's camera, SketchBook can transform your paper-based line drawings into digital form. Great for getting new life out of old drawings or for making the transition to an all-digital workflow.

• Autosave and infinite Undo: There's nothing worse than losing your work, and there's nothing better than being able to step back in your workflow a few dozen times to give it another go. SketchBook saves both your work and your patience.
