Infinite Painter's Drawing Assist Tools

Android drawing app with shocking power (imho). When I 2D on my new -ish Samsung Tab S3, I use this; freehand is uglier on tablets so Infinite Painter's drawing assist tools like poly shapes and arcs that snap in to save the day clean anything up for good, finished lines.

This is an independent, unsolicited look at a tiny fraction of what IP can do to help with 2D creation. Maybe like me, you've wanted to dive into an app but weren't sure which. I think there isn't enough coverage of these excellent drawing assist tools that let ideas come through instead of shaky, hesitant lines and scribbles.

This guys voice is smooth👌

Thank you so much for the video! Best beginners tutorial, very useful and easy to follow. Just purchased my IP after my week free trial ended. I love this app

[@mariemaiorana873]

Hi…Love watching your videos on all the different things IP does. You demonstrate & explain things really well. I’m surprised IP doesn’t have tutorials online to assist but glad you take the time to post. Keep up the good work!!

[@popcornstewart]

This is the only video that makes sense thanks

[@DelbertStinkfester]

Thanks for sharing this....I just bought a Chromebook and this app looks pretty amazing

[@jintakaya]

Awesome video, thank you for the tips, just move from a paper canvas to trying to draw on a digital canvas....and it is a learning curve so this really help...I hope you have more on your channel. Thanks again

[@interestingpeopleinteresti6652]

love your instruction and demeanor! Thank you. I would love to see more deep dives into painter. I have all the drawing programs and painter is turning out to be my favorite. I actually find it more stable than Procreate.

Nice explanation, i hope u will make more tutorial for infinite painter in the future....

[@jasminsathwara2009]

Nice

[@edwin11373]

Affinity Designer would have done a better job because this particular artwork you did looks very graphic design-like. The powerful alignment engine does smart inferencing in order to place your shapes accurately. What's great about AD is that not only it's a powerful vector app like Illustrator but it also incorporates a pixel mode so that you can do more painterly artwork. AD is more expensive but still extremely affordable considering Adobe or Corel products. It's a bargain. What was HUGE to me is that it isn't subscription-based. Thank God!!

[@janosgyerman]

i would love to see an option to edit curve later and not only when it is created...

[@NovaRanger007]

3:01 I never knew that .. thanks

[@HelloHiHola]

Sure thing! 👍 I wish all features were this easy to make videos for.

[@wassabilly]

Hi Thanks for this tutorial. I might be thick but I got stumped when you first drew the circle and said "I tap it". Can you please explain what you did because nothing happens when I did that and I can't find the tool any where. Thanks in advance.

[@HelloHiHola]

I was unclear - the video says draw and wait... I should have said to leave your stylus motionless on the tablet after attempting a circle. Then an outward "ripple" indicates that if you lift and tap the shape you drew, IP will provide tools to better what it thinks you intended - a circle in this case. Sorry! The screencast choked my rhythm a lot so I made some poor word choices.

[@anetgom6]

@@HelloHiHola I tried like this and still nothing happens :(

[@eschelar]

Craziness. I got this for a buck and a half usd with a little rebate. The program is nuts.

[@HelloHiHola]

Powerful on a good tablet. Cool stuff in there!

[@snoopycharlie8718]

Do the control points for the S curve disappear once you move onto next pen stroke or do they remain editable? As in, can I come back and readjust the control points later? 🤔 Great video, thanks for sharing :)

[@HelloHiHola]

You've only got one shot. Shapes, curves and lines. Even the undo button won't bring you back to the control points once they're set. 😃 Contributing this has been a pleasure. I had no idea it would help so many!

[@snoopycharlie8718]

@@HelloHiHola Suppose it means just need to get more accurate first time ha. I've been scouring the web looking for a drawing/painting app that will replicate what Photoshop can do; create 'paths' with the pen and use it as a selection at any time. But so far it seems it's one or the other, either total pixel or total vector apps. This infinite painter seems the closest fit so far. I want to do car rendering like I do on PS, so I really want the paths tool for sharp details such as the glass frame and wheel designs etc. Anyway, thanks again! :)

How to use clone tool

[@HMaxTube11]

You should try it on an iPad with Apple Pencil. Amazingly great.

[@bozhidarkn]

and on the procreate app ;] Man those apple products are so damn good for this category. Bought the tab s4 on a huge discount and was fascinated by this app and the feeling when you draw, but trying out on the Ipad of a friend of mine now I want one so much - way way better, and the pen gives you a real smooth touch feeling which helps a lot!

[@HelloHiHola]

You can deactivate it from the settings menu.

[@Mrsantaissatanisnew]

I like infinite painter, problem is, is I dont have a stylus so I’m using my finger for drawing, sadly, I wish I could offset the cursor so I can see where I’m drawing and I dont see an option for that :(

[@HelloHiHola]

Sorry! At the moment, there is no support for a finger offset. However, even a cheap, rubber Capacitive Stylus should do the trick nicely - better than a finger. You'll sacrifice effects of variable pressure, but you'll be able to see what you're doing as you do it.

[@popcornstewart]

How do you rotate canvas with the pen. I'm getting a pen soon I just wanna know. Also awesome video

[@popcornstewart]

And undo

[@HelloHiHola]

@@popcornstewart Undo should be a simple little round arrow on the bottom left corner the bottom right corner as a redo Arrow icon.

[@HelloHiHola]

If you mean flip canvas, that is something the pen can do with a double tap or a long press depending what setting you command in the settings menu. If you mean to rotate the canvas like you might spin a piece of paper, that is better left to the fingers.

[@kona7805]

Great tutorial! But I don't see the stamp icon after selecting the circle :C

[@harterjay]

Most of what you're showing, I'm not seeing in my version. I'm using Infinite Painter on an Amazon Fire tablet, so maybe it's a different version. For example, after you draw your circle, you mention @ 3:06 that infinite painter gives you a stencil which you tap. It's unclear to me where you tapped, but I don't see any way to get that stencil / control.

[@HelloHiHola]

Sorry for not responding sooner. Some earlier comments cover tapping the shape after remaining motionless on it. I wasn't clear in the video. This assist kicks in when you pause.

[@samanthasamson5016]

where I can find the grid lines? cuz i cant find the center of my canvas

[@HelloHiHola]

There's Grid for creating regular straight lines on X and Y in the Tools > Paint > Perspective (drag left) but it's not a compositional tool that automatically ID's thirds or centers. You'll have to tinker with control points.

[@bubbsy1313]

I get the circle to become neat but how do you get the edit feature to appear?

[@HelloHiHola]

With a stylus tap on that same circle but it can cancel quickly at times.

[@johncarloevasco5085]

Is there a snap to center? Tool?.If there is, i cant seem to find it.pls help.

[@HelloHiHola]

Center of what?

[@wahidstudios5775]

How to fit object on center?

[@HelloHiHola]

A grid system is available for the canvas that you can configure to help identify the centre but the Creator hadn't enabled any snapping at the time this video was published. You have to eyeball it using that grid.

Thanks ! Many useful and very well explained tips. I was specifically looking for a way to snap the minor axis of the ellipse tool to a vanishing point. That would allow to move the ellipse guide all over the canvas while the minor axis is always pointing to a vp. Couldn't find anything.

[@Smood47]

The way infinite painter handles shapes just seems incredible unintuitive and annoying to me. Going to try procreate.

Sorry to see you go. I've never used procreate but I hope you get the results you're looking for!

[@iconicsofia6798]

Smood47 procreate and procreate pocket are the best they both cost money but it’s worth it you can do so much with it so procreate pocket cost 5 dollars and procreate cost 10 dollars I have both the apps i also recommend you get ibis paint x there the best editing apps enjoy!:)

[@lifecollective8419]

Look in the brush settings section for Shape Detection to turn on or off. I'm unsure if a free version has the feature or not.

[@popcornstewart]

I didn't buy it yet and I can do it maybe it's called quick shape? That's what i heard
