Pattern/texture designers: You’ll find the app’s unique feature set very useful when making repeatable images (patterns).
Other artists: WowPaint is great for drawing and painting “normal” art as well!
• CREATE SEAMLESS PATTERNS •
Use the Seamless Pattern Options to aid you in creating seamless patterns that can be used as website or desktop backgrounds, in print, or for textures in 3d modeling.
When you have switched on Wrap X/Y, any strokes you paint that go over the picture’s edge will continue on the opposite side.
That means that there will be no hard edges where strokes are cut off (since they continue instead), which makes the picture a perfect candidate for being seamlessly repeated.
A tremendous help when using the Wrapped Painting mode is the option of having the picture displayed as tiles next to each other.
You’re free to paint anywhere on these tiles, and you will see the results in real time.
You can also switch on Edge Indicators, to make it easier to see where the picture being repeated begins and ends.
• FINGERTIP = STROKE SIZE •
When you paint, the app measures how much of your finger is touching the screen and changes the stroke size accordingly.
There’s a huge difference between using just the corner of your fingertip and pressing down the whole fingerprint area!
A 2nd tool assigned to your finger will still use this feature, so don’t ignore it just because you have an Apple Pencil!
• LEFT-HANDED? •
Just swipe the toolbar over to the other side!
• PARAMETERS CAN BE CHANGED LIVE •
Use any buttons or controls to change/adjust color, size, force, simultaneously while painting.
