Description
Zen Brush 3 is a drawing app focused on the strong yet beautiful feel of the East Asian ink brush which can be used to perform calligraphy, ink painting and more.
The drawing system that brings to life a feeling of silky fluent and delicate painting now allows an even wider range of expression thanks to the addition of "water" and "color". Providing a new simple and intuitive user interface, this app is designed to be optimal for performing Zen art.

thefoxcam,
Much better when you increase the resolution.
At first I was perplexed as to why the brushes were so much more ‘mushy’ in 3 than in 2, until I realized the default canvas resolution in 3 is much smaller than in 2! Increasing from 768x1024 to 2400x3200 fixes the problem of the dithering being too large and immediately highlights the improvements of the brush engine in 3 over 2. I imagine the reason the default is so low is for better battery life / FPS on lower spec iPads. The user should be prompted to pick a resolution on first launch to make it more obvious that there are multiple quality modes.
AlanLaBudde,
OK it’s back to five stars
OK the papers on the right hand side with the Zen rotation I can and only the red brush gives you multiple colors if you hold onto it I guess or drag down from it and the eraser changes if you drag down to a bloody eraser which I don’t understand yet blatting not bloody whatever… And it looks like they erased my criticisms oh well from my previous review that’s OK what’s my one big issue… I try to do a circle and I get this lag or it goes into tilt mode or something and I get this weird straight lines on my curves and gestures that would be a dealbreaker for a real calligrapher artist! Once you buy the app it’s hard to tell how much you paid for unless you work and I’m lazy but I guess it must’ve been cheap enough if I bought it… Pretty good even if some of the 3-D backgrounds are pretty lame better to use a photo of your own of wood or something and this will be much better if you can get the texture going on with the paper and the dry brush is much better in the brush 2! Knouff said… said the Marvel comic guy…Stanley I just remembered… Stan Lee…

Badly butchered app
Zen Brush 2 improved on a great simple program with an intuitive interface by adding multiple undos. Sadly, ZenBrush 3 loses whatever made the original program so excellent. The dry brush effect so brilliantly nuanced, textured and expressive in Zen Brush 2 has been softened and weakened in ZenBrush 3. Equally, the intuitive interface of version 2 has been complicated and butchered in Zen Brush 3. For instance, the Layer function in v3 leaves you scratching your head wondering how the application of something so intuitive and straightforward in so many other apps like Procreate and ArtRage could be so badly blundered that it is unintelligible. That is a shame. I’ve always seen ZenBrush as being much more than a calligraphy app. The expressive quality of the brush strokes in the original lent themselves to abstract art or illustrative purposes. That expressive flexible utility has been blunted in version 3.
Cass art and co,
It needs a tutorial
But fun to play with and an interesting thing to use for art block. Rules loosen the mind and make you think more creatively. So I’m impressed with how well it mimics traditional brushes. For line art you can import a sketch and pant it in. The colors are a great addition. The brush sizing bar needs some work and maybe add some cool special effect like salt to the paint, or liquid frisk. You could take this further by adding natural fabric backgrounds and melted wax to mimic batik silk painting since they traditionally use the same brushes. Don’t mind the art major rambling but it’s a mess free way to play with calligraphy brushes which run about $20-$30 per brush plush the solid ink sets with the grinding stone. This app is a fun time.
JmJ4,
Amazing app held back by major omission
This is an awesome, unique, and fun app that easily could have been a must buy for every artist where it not for one glaring, major omission. There is no way to import photos or files. I’ve used countless apps on IPad and PC for art for years and every single one of them has the ability to import works in progress.
If that basic function is added I will gladly change my rating to five stars and consider this app mandatory for anyone interested in art on the iPad. As it stands, though, this is more of an entertaining novelty than a serious tool.

Highly expressive and useful
While you might think this is a silly app, just to simulate brush strokes, it’s much more than that. The ability to bring in artwork from other programs via layers, control the drying time, work wet, all quite amazing and unmatched. You just cannot do what this does in any other program. I do wish you could have custom color palettes; then close to perfect.
Doomo arigato gozaimasu!

Great improvement over Zen 2
This iteration is really a fantastic improvement.
Just to add to the wish list
1. please add a save guard to the trash can, ie. like another yes/no step before everything just vanishes
2. It is great to be able add additional layers, and to import images; however there seems to be no way to edit the new layers, or be able to draw on them?

JimCarm,
Each update is worse than the previous version
This is no longer fun, or user friendly. No instructions, the first version was really great, but when I went to use it, was forced to up grade, that was another bad upgrade, so I deleted said app, then saw an add, went back to version 2, it then said I had to upgrade to three. Now it’s basically useless. Deleting again. Zero instructions, played for an hour just trying to get it to do what the original did. Just not even usable! I’d look else where. I’ve seriously never seen any developer actually ruin a good app to render it useless.
yrcbkvvcbc,
Absolutely brilliant
I have got to say that I’ve been watching this app for a long time and it is one of my all-time favorite brushes and yes it does make you feel relief from the stress of doing other stuff but the fact that they added layers just changes the whole thing absolutely brilliant please keep up the good work as you are amazing.
mis-b-havin,
Need support- support link goes to blank screen
I recently purchased Zen Brush 3 for my IPad mini 5. Love it except for the fact I cannot open a new canvas. I’ve searched everywhere but cannot find an answer for my specific need. Also app kicks me out often when I click to add a layer or the button beside it- losing ALL my work. Will increase stars when I can begin a second project and crashing is fixed. Thank you.
