Congratulations! Just bought it. I suck at anything art related but really love playing with this. Maybe I'll draw something cool one day

Great!

I think I'll stick with the free version until we get landscape mode for tablets.

I'll be working on this soon. I thought it was best to get Fresco on the market sooner rather than later.

Has a little issue of the line breaking up when i draw slowly, zoomed in around 250% or more on the xoom. Could also use a number value next to the slider for changing brush size, as well as some smoothing on the brushes to help with jagged edges. This app has some great potential, I can't stand sketchbook mobile on honeycomb, glad to see someone finally putting an alternative out with layers and a good interface, bought the pro version and will definitely be watching for updates.

We need to be able to select colors by hex value, I know that's an easy thing to add and would make things easier when selecting colors

You should have a sale for the app and make it .99 and see how it does in sales over the weekend...people like sales hehe

Glad you like the app! Well spotted, I can confirm the slow drawing bug on my device. I imagine there's a rounding error somewhere that's causing this when calculating the position of the brush stroke. Values for the brush configuration screen does sound like a good idea.

Are you getting jagged edges always or with certain brush sizes? Fresco includes line smoothing at the moment.

I was thinking about adding another tab to the color dialog screen that would contain red/blue/green sliders and a button for entering a hex value. Thanks for the advice about pricing.

Does anyone reading use a Samsung Galaxy S 2? I just had a vague error report that pressing undo makes black boxes appear on the canvas which is a show stopping bug to have. Can anyone reproduce this?

Just noticed this, but why is there such a gap? Left side of the image...

I'll try it in a minute. I'd love to be able to draw something as good as you've done in the screenshots, but I'm pretty much limited to stick figures

EDIT: Yep, big black box taking up a rectangle around the entire area just drawn pops up.

I'm not seeing a gap although there is a 1 pixel wide outline around the image.

Oh dear. What happens if you draw several strokes in different places, undo several times and then redo everything? Can you draw something, return to the gallery while saving your image and then load your image successfully?

Edit: Do you know if you've got the Exynos 4210 "GT-i9100" or the Tegra 2 model? I know the app works fine on the Xoom's Tegra 2 so I'm wondering if it's the former that's the problem.

There is 75 pixels missing...if you open the image you will see what I mean, it's the same on my tablet...I just noticed it

Are you running an ad-blocker? The Lite version has ads at the top. I can see why the black box would be confusing though.

hahahaha...that would explain it, if there was better tablet support I'd jump on the full version; until that time I will stick to this.
