ibis Paint

ibis Paint is a powerful sketching program that enables users to become great painters by utilizing various built-in tools available in this popular app, which was originally designed for smartphone platforms. This software, which has been downloaded over 200 million times on iOS and Android, is finally available on PC thanks to modern Android emulation. 

Anyone looking to start painting using their fingers (on touch-sensitive monitors or PC tablets) or a mouse would benefit greatly from the tools and integrated services provided by this program. 

This includes over 2,000 brushes, 2700 materials, 800 fonts, over 50 filters, nearly 30 blending modes, and a wide range of help services such as stroke stabilization, rulers, and clipping masks. The complete draw engine is driven by OpenGL, which allows for 60fps seamless hardware-accelerated rendering, and the entire drawing process may be recorded as a shareable video. 

Users who want to learn from the best can even import and replay drawing sessions created by other ibis Paint X users to master all of their techniques. 

The app's feature list does not end there. The software is well-known for its enormous selection of highly customizable brushes, as well as its multiple layer features. 

While ibis Paint is free to use, the app's makers have pushed to expand its capabilities in premium "Prime" member mode, which unlocks a plethora of additional goodies such as more materials, typefaces, clouds and tone curve filters, gradation map filters, and the absence of in-app advertisements. All new tool users get 30 days to evaluate Prime functionality. 

Overall, the program is intended for anyone who wishes to immerse themselves in the hobby of sketching and painting. The program is available on PC through any recent Android emulator (such as LDPlayer or Bluestacks), which allows it to run smoothly on any modern PC, laptop, or even PC tablet.
