Have you ever wanted to make beautiful drawings for fun and entertainment? Nice drawings of animals, or cartoon characters or cars and more? The art of drawing is not easy and something stopped you…something like no skill, no talent, no experience.
‘How to draw’ is the app exactly for those who like to draw and have fun with it! It’s best for family entertainment as well. It will teach you how to draw 70! different objects, for example, a fox, a lion, a car and a spider-man! From an adult to a child, everybody will find out in the app something interesting for him.
Each drawing is divided into a number of steps which are easy to follow. Starting from a few lines, you’ll end up with a complete picture.
All pictures are drawn in different styles and vary in complexity.

It is really 2 apps in 1:
1. A drawing and sketching app with white and black backgrounds.
2. A coloring book app with 50 exquisite drawings of fun topics including animals, professions and landscapes. It’s an Artistic Springboard where some drawings are “incomplete” so children, guided by voice over instructions, can creatively interact with the drawing.
Tipitap pushes the limits of traditional coloring apps harnessing the possibilities of the touch screen environments. Color & Draw boasts beautifully crafted, specially designed springboard drawings, voice recorded invitations for all drawing for children to add to or complete the drawings, a lovely color palette, multiple stroke sizes and erasers, and stickers. Kids or their parents can share their creations via email or save them to the device’s gallery.
APP FEATURES
★ 50 cute and smart, custom illustrations by our professional art department
★ Fun, age-appropriate themes: animals, professions and natural settings
★ Save drawings to the in-app Art Gallery, your device photo album or share them via email
★ 50 custom voice over invitations
★ undos
★ Real finger painting. Not the classic “the-machine-fills-it-for-you” app engine! Kids develop and improve their fine motor skills and creativity.
★ Support for multitouch
★ Limited curated color palette. Enough colors choices for a full spectrum of artistic expression yet restricted so kids are not overwhelmed by too many options.
★ Multiple eraser options
Real finger painting!
Digital coloring books can be entertaining, but they can instill passivity in kids. Tap and fill coloring or a paint engine that keeps your strokes within the lines take all the fun and effort and can scarcely be called coloring. This gets boring fast. Apps that only offer blank pages for ‘free drawing’ can be a little intimidating for the youngest children. And many so-called activity books are too ambiguous or too difficult for little children to decode on their own, leaving them asking: “Dad, what do I draw now?” and “Mom, what am I supposed to do here?”
