This free Android drawing app comes in-app purchases for advanced features. It's better than a real paper pad, though, because you can then digitally share these scribbles with others. This cross-platform app is made by Wacom, creator of the industry leading Wacom tablets, and named after its own Bamboo styluses, but you can use them with other tablets and styluses, too.īamboo Paper essentially turns your Android tablet into the equivalent of a paper notebook, and makes it simple for you to sketch out ideas and concepts, quickly and without fuss. If you're not interested in 'proper' drawing, but just want to scribble, doodle and sketch out ideas on your Android tablet instead, then Bamboo Paper should be your app of choice. While Krita (above) just pips it for value and new tools, Infinite Painter has a simpler UI and is approachable, just like Procreate. Overall, for the fee, this is a high-end and feature-laden drawing app for Android that manages to feel as close to the Procreate experience as you could wish for on a non-Apple device. The app costs $9.99 and while there's no free version, there is a seven-day free trial. You can also record your own drawing as a timelapse, and other features include a lasso fill tool, touch gestures and support for PSDs. There are nearly 200 brushes to choose from, ranging from pencils to charcoals, and you can create your own too.

The interface is clean, organised, and highly customisable, and it feels very natural to make marks, providing a superb experience for artists. Click on OK.Looking for an Android alternative to Procreate, the popular iOS app? Then I recommend Infinite Painter, a cross-platform painting, sketching, and drawing app that's available for tablets, phones, and Chromebooks. In case of a newer graphics version or discrete graphics, click on the dropdown next to Scaling Mode and select either Bilinear Filtering or Nearest Neighbour to turn down the scaling. If you are using older graphics or some integrated graphics (where GPU is a part of the processor), under Canvas Acceleration turn off the option Canvas Graphics Acceleration by unchecking it.Ĥ. Method 4 – Change Canvas Graphics Accelerationġ. If you have an AMD CPU, then go to the Advanced tab and checkthe box next to Disable all vector optimizations (for AMD CPUs).Ĭheck whether this helped to improve Krita’s performance.

Increase the Memory Limit, but make sure to keep at least 2GB reserved for your system else your system will not have enough resources for proper functioning when other applications are open.ĥ. In the General tab, you can change the Memory Limit, that is the RAM space/ memory you will give Krita to use for your painting.Ĥ. Select the Performance tab on the left in the new window that appears.ģ.
