Beginner
Just learning to use. Love how pastel-like the app works. Using for first sketches. Quick and love that there is an actual!
GREAT
LOVE IT
This app is so comlicatec to use it is horrible
Thumbs down
It is four stars because
It is kinda hard when I was pressing undo but I wanted to keep one part
Не удобно!(
Не очень удобное приложение я не поняла ничего(
Amazing but…
This app was amazing! But there were a few issues that they should fix. It does not have any tools that a usual paint app should have, like calligraphy brush and fill tool. Whenever I clicked undo for a small portion I messed up on, it would delete that whole portion straight away! And for artists like me, it was very sad and frustrating fixing that part afterwards. Overall great app, but needs a slight improvement. This is to all the great artists out there like me!
Really good
I love it it’s so good and I love my drawing, the only problem is that the paper color is not that good but still 5/5 u should get this game 100
trash
it leave gap at the area and background is not usual and it is super limted
Hard to find colors
I found this really good set of colors I liked but I couldn’t find it again. It just sort of messed up my drawing. I think that they should add a button that shows you what colors you used in the past, and you can click on it and have them color ready to go so that we won’t have to worry about find the best shade to go with it, overall I really like this app it is super fun and it has helped me become a better artist since I downloaded! I hope this helps!
SAD
I down loaded this app thinking it would be amazing BUT no. it was ok ish but it was not my stiyle
About this game its not great but its good
It is incredibly hard on a computer and there is nothing for tracing and the picture of it made it look like I was going to be coloring in pictures I didnt know that it was coloring on a blank space but I do like how you can blend colors so yeah but its no worth it to buy it. -unknown
AMAZING
Every time i go on a road trip,i go on this app and draw.this app is very amazing beacuse there are sooo many colors and different pens and brushes. this is an exelent drawing app. 100 stars
Love this Game!
This is helping me unleash my inner artist - thank you so much!
this is good but
no lags no ads etc its nice but u have to pay for more layers bc you only get 2 layers (sad) but I like it !1!
It hurts my eyes
When I saw the game I thought it would be so much better, and the yellow paper just doesn’t work. It probably is a lot better for other people more than me, but it was still an ok game.
Not the best out there
Only three free tools!: Pencil Oil pastel And what I think is chalk THEY ALL LOOK BASICALLY THE SAME shade range is nice
A M A Z I N G
I LOVED this app!!!! So you have to pay to add layers, SO WHAT?! I was low-key IMPRESSED, on how easy it was to draw the perfect picture of the beach 🏖 ON MY COMPUTER!Any-who, if anyone wants a good pastel app I highly recommend IPastels, as it is very easy to do, even without layers! (:
How I don’t like it
I can never find the new page and this game is very OLD
The review
You can do it on your computer and phone! It’s a pretty good drawing app. I prefer procreate cause it lets you do more detail and stuff but I like it.
Started well
I’ve been using iPastels for couple of weeks and was initially pleased with the results but for some reason it’s become impossible to use. I can no longer set any of the tools to do what I want them to do. Can’t change colours, have no control over line thickness or pressure... etc. None of this is especially intuitive either. The online tutorials aren’t much use. Can’t find any help to explain the problem. I don’t mind paying for an upgrade but I need it to be more reliable than this before I shell out money. Pity. It started well.
Cool game
It’s very fun and very cool
Five star of course 👍
This game. Is so satisfying and even my 12 year old brother downloaded. It it's perfect
THE WORST DRAWING GAME 😡
I was really happy playing it at the START but.IT IS A NIGHT MARE
Pretty good 👍.
I do use the app. Sometimes it can be confusing or even frustrating. But for the artists that really want blending, specific colors, and all the other things, it is the perfect app. Overall, good app.
It's fun!
The game is fun no adds or memberships it's completely free! But it's a little hard to use but I got the hang of it!
Entertaining
This is great to pass time when I can't have real art supplies. I just bought pro. $7 for life? I'm signed in!
Please help me
In the pics it shows all the colours and stuff like that All I get Is a small wheel thing that when turned changes the colour and a small icon of a pen.when the pen icon is clicked it come up with a menu that dose absolutely nothing.how do I get the menu shown in the pics.my sister also downloaded this app and works like it dose in the pics.in the tutorial it says to go into settings then toolbar and then do do something there.i can’t find the settings.its not in the pencil icon.i will be grateful if the developers respond.thank you for reading
a great game!
Hi this game is good to play when you can’t draw and you don’t need to make it cost more money try it I made a epic drawing you can draw a beach a fun place and more I did 4 Review because there mite be more and games will make you do a Revew just like me!

IPastels
Still trying to install after a week.
Ipastels
I love Ipastels. The only problem is it does not say how to change the way the paper looks.
Learning
I have only given 3 stars so far, but like what I see and therefore have added the extra features and look forward to learning how to use the app. properly
i like this alot
i like this game a tone
Do not upgrade
Thought it was a fab app until I did an upgrade. All the pictures I'd spent MONTHS working on - have been lost! I am gutted and feel totally empty! DISASTER.
Okay But Could Be Better
The tips are great, but there should be a menu showing all of them, bc im still trying to figure out how to use a bunch of stuff. Other than that, good.
Such beautiful colours
With a lovely feel to them. But I wish the layers system was understandable. I'm never going to get it!
Perfetional
This game is so fun, especially for my sister!!! WE LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
S...l...o...w...
It's so slow do not get it...
AWESOME first try
i started and thought it will not go well but it was better i had to work out how to do the size colour and things were great after all think is a AWESOME first try i say this si for begginers and my some artists to :)
