About Zen Brush 3

Zen Brush 3 is a drawing app focused on the strong yet beautiful feel of the East Asian ink brush which can be used to perform calligraphy, ink painting and more.

The drawing system that brings to life a feeling of silky fluent and delicate painting now allows an even wider range of expression thanks to the addition of "water" and "color". Providing a new simple and intuitive user interface, this app is designed to be optimal for performing Zen art.

What

I dont get it. Zen2 was great. Then they did 3 and its terrible. They also seem to have 0 support and has this been abandoned? I think unfortunately they’ve just taking in money on the reputation of 2 and created 3 just to look as if they’re doing something. 3 is garbage. Going back to 2.

Super Fun

Delightful tool to practice, experiment and imagine with - using it is a vast improvement over doom scrolling.
