Question Good Art or Sketch apps for the TPT?

I am an artist and picked up the TPT as an economical alternative to a Windows resistive tablet PC.

So far I am impressed with this thing, however, I cant seem to find any art-friendly apks designed to utilize the N-Trig technology with palm rejection fluidly.

I've used Sketchbook Pro which is mediocre and leaves much to be desired, such as pressure sensitivity and palm rejection (in which Quill excels at but isnt designed to be a true art app).

Other apps are for the most part poor, IMO.

Any suggestions? I've search inside and outside the Market with no success. I'd be willing to beta test apps to those of you who are software devs.

MODS: Feel free to move this if posted in incorrect section.

You know what, I just discovered that - thanks.

I thought this app was limited but I see some potential. Unless there are alternatives out there, I'd have to wear a cotton glove to stop the detection of my palm when resting it on the surface.


I found Sketch N Draw is OK also, but doesnt allow too many "free-hand" options to be considered a serious tool.

Sketchbook is the best, PS Touch is a far second (there are glitches with stylus input). Neither of them are adequate for doing really serious work.

Are you a lefty or righty there are settings for that that may help with palm rejection I don't have to much issue with palm rejection you also have to get use to it there is a small trick to it draw first before resting your palm after that rejection works good from what I noticed as far a more functioning drawing program there is none the adobe apps were a disappointment

You may want to try to hide the status bar - that does at least prevent some interruptions by the clock or the app wheel popping up while using the pen.
