ibis Paint X
How many brushes are available in the free version of ibis Paint X?
The app claims over 300 brushes, and you can access a good portion of them for free. The dip pen and felt tip pen feel natural on iPhone screens, and the stabilizer works well to smooth out wobbly lines.
Can I use layers and blending modes without paying for ibis Paint X?
Yes, the free version supports multiple layers, opacity adjustments, and basic blending modes. However, more advanced blending modes and filters are locked behind the Premium subscription.
Why did I get a pop-up saying I need Premium to use a brush in ibis Paint X?
Some special brushes and advanced features are only available in the paid Premium version. If you encounter this, try using a different free brush or stick to basic tools like the ruler and standard pens for your project.
How do I fix the cluttered interface in ibis Paint X?
The interface has many icons, so take time to tap around and learn what each button does. The undo button is easy to find, and using the app regularly will help you memorize the layout for faster sketching.
How does ibis Paint X compare to using a full drawing tablet?
ibis Paint X is excellent for casual doodling and phone sketching, but it's not a replacement for a dedicated drawing tablet. It runs smoothly on iPhones with no lag, but serious artists may find the canvas size options and advanced features limited without the paid plan.
