[@ConceptsApp]

Great review of these apps, thanks for including us! Let us know if there's anything we can do to make the app a better creative tool for you. Love your art!

[@TabletPro]

Thanks! Is there a way to color pick in the app?

[@JohnSmith-gb8hd]

Concepts App : When will we get the rest of the features, like grids/precosion tools, custom brushes, gallery, color pallete & mixer, etc? Thanks in advance.

[@TabletPro]

Yes, I’d love to chat sometime as well.

[@sylensyoso]

Do you have rulers and protractors?

[@johnkon2810]

@@sylensyoso ... no they don't. There is a way to still create them but, you have to really know the program and/or pay for a Subscription. Everyone want to be Adobe, which is a MAJOR turn-off. If I'm paying for illustrator, why also pay for Concepts? They won't answer this question or why they can't create some basic tools for simplicity sake and ease of use.

@3:07 you can access color selector by either using your pen or your finger to long tap(3sec) your canvas wherever you wish to select the color. the selector appears right under your finger/pen. while still holding down you can move around until you find the color your seeking.

Really appreciate you making this video. I am so ready to grow as a digital artist!

[@calilifestyle]

[@PPreet121]

Thank you for this review, it's very helpful. I've used Krita before on an artist tablet-- I think it was suggested that it is ideal to have an separate artist tablet, even with the Windows Surface-- is this correct, and if so, why? I need to buy a new laptop soon, so was hoping that just buying the Surface could work for both my art n PC needs (with easier portability).

[@StahnAmogus29]

i got Concepts on mobile and it's just so good i really like the slice function too (shortens the strokes that you use it on to erase something.) and also cos it's easy to understand, not like those other overly conplicated looking ones (at least for me) (i find it hard to draw when there's just too much going on.) i'll try Concepts on my laptop sometime too. : D

[@ome69]

Does the windows version for the surface pro of Concepts have a pallet of colours you can make as I seen on some videos but can't find it. Also can you get more colours such as more vivid reds as some colours have a limited choice ? Another video showed a beautiful watercolour brush but I can't find it even to purchase on concepts so I think they were using iPad?

[@laurenjeppson3166]

I have a touch screen Chromebook and I would love to start creating the faceless portrait (made from actual photos). I see a lot of tutorials online on how to create those with Procreate. However, since that's not available for Chromebook, is there another windows-based program that would work equally well? If so, what do you think the best program would be? Thank you!

[@TabletPro]

Sebastian Rivera there is an option to select it for touch only. Tap the icon and tap it again to select for touch.

What tablet are you using in the video?

[@SpaghettiJoBayBay]

how do you adjust krita's UI? i takes the whole screen and leaves no room for your canvas.

[@rachel4555]

you'll want to go to settings, hit dockers and take some of the ones that are disturbing you off, you can also make them smaller with the little dotted box at the edge of every docker thingy, hope this helped if not then just play with krita as much as possible, that will not only help you find other features but it might also help you with your problem

I compared sketchbook and Sai on my computer. The first thing I figure out was that line work could be difficult on sketchbook. But this app owns so many cool brushes and options. Sai have a perfect line work system... Especially with the stabilizers but you have not so much options for pen creating or slots for many brushes. I need to find a way to use both for one drawing.

[@TabletPro]

Sai can import brushes. Look for a good pack online. The brush tip images get copied into the brush folder where the program is “installed”

What stylus/pen do you use?

Why can’t you list them in the description?

[@TabletPro]

Hi Nelli, Oddly enough this is a rather big question to answer and a great question to ask. Short answer is I may have been busy the week I released this video and it slipped my mind to include a list. I don't remember why I didn't add a list. However, that said, when I think about adding a list now I shy away from it because KZbin won't show this video to people if they don't watch the video. So if I were to add a list and people simply looked at the list for the answer, that would cause the video watch time to drop which then in turn causes KZbin to show the video to less and less people because it thinks the content is not relevant because people are leaving early. Sort of a long reply but maybe it makes sense. If I add a list to help people it will likely help the first few hundred people and then the other thousands who would have watched the video won't get the content at all because the video won't show up in search results or in the "up next" cue. hope that helps
