Description
Paintstorm Studio is the first iOS App designed not only for simple sketches, but professional digital painting of any level, genre and technique. Paintstorm helps you to discover the magnificence and unleash the full potential of Apple Pencil and brings you to a whole new level of drawing. Creating an art masterpiece has never been so mobile.
A major feature of Paintstorm Studio is the array of brushes to choose from. We did our best so that you can easily and quickly adjust the brushes suitable to your painting style.
Anyone who has ever painted knows it's hard to overestimate the painting tool and the importance of all the seemingly insignificant details. We tried not to miss any of them. Our goal was to create an intuitive, simple-to-use but at the same time functionally powerful tool that brings the process of digital painting to a new level, making it as comfortable as possible.

Ratings and Reviews
The most astonishing app
Sergei, I hope you aren't too discouraged by some of the reviews. I can't imagine what sort of effort it required to make Paintstorm but the level of control offered goes way beyond Coral painter, Procreate, Photoshop, and even the esoteric Studio Artist. This makes a learning curve more 3000 meter steeplechase than Sunday morning jog. The interface can be frustrating. Ditto lack of written explanation. Nevertheless - Paintstorm delivers an almost perfect digital metaphor of real world art in the sensitivity of stroke and the mixing and viscosity of pigment. This is one exceptionally well engineered brush engine. The files resulting from it can be stunning. I'm not knocking any of the other programs. They all have their advantages. But Paintstorm is a beast. It also has a host of hidden gems squirreled away to amaze and delight when you eventually discover them! Hats off to you Sergei. 🎈
My favourite painting app
This app has my favourite brush engine of all the digital paint apps that I’ve used - and I think I have just about used them all. I love the versatility of the opacity blend brushes in particular. They allow you to paint and blend at the same time. It’s not simulating real world paint mixing which frustrates the heck out of me instead it is digitally blending the colours. To get the same effect in Procreate you need to lay down your colours, switch to a blending brush and then blend, it’s so much quicker in PSS.
I keep playing with other digital painting apps when they come out with shiny new updates but I always seem to return to Paintstorm Studio when I want get some serious painting done.
Was good until last update
Since last update, I’m not able to move the hotkeys anymore, no matter how I try! Also not able to zoom in/out inside the reference window (which should be freely resizable, not limited in size as it is now), very annoying. I thought I had found my perfect painting software for iPad, clearly not! Very disappointed!
