Description
Markers is a simple, multitouch, pressure-sensitive drawing app. Some of its features include:
Pressure sensitivity that works with most Android devices: As more of your finger or capacitive stylus touches the glass, Markers will draw a thicker line. NOTE: It may take a minute or two of continuous drawing for Markers to adjust to your device’s touch panel, so be patient! (If your device has an active stylus, like the Galaxy Note or HTC Flyer, the true stylus pressure will be used instead.)
Multitouch painting: Two fingers make two lines, three make three, and so on, up to the limits of your device (typically 5 simultaneous touches for phones and 10 for tablets).
Kid-friendly interface: Every pen size and color is on-screen; multitouch drawing means accidental touches (such as kid hands on the edges of the display) won't prevent any little fingers from painting.
Plays well with others: Share your drawings to other apps, and share images into Markers to draw on top of them.
[New in 1.2] Pan and zoom: By far the #1 most requested Markers feature! Tap the hand tool to switch into zoom mode; use one finger to scroll and two to zoom.
[New in 1.2] Adjustable brushes: Longpress a brush and drag to adjust the minimum and maximum widths.
[New in 1.2] Android 4.4 (KitKat) immersive mode: When you tap the Markers icon to hide the palettes, the status and navigation bars hide too; you can use the entire screen to draw. Tap the icon to show everything again.

FAQ
Why is my drawing all black when I save it to Gallery? — The drawing is actually on a transparent background, so you're seeing Gallery's black background through it. When you load it back into Markers or send it to another app, you'll see that the drawing is intact. If you'd prefer an opaque background, longpress on a color swatch in the palette to set the paper color.
What's up with the pressure sensitivity on my device? — See http://code.google.com/p/markers-for-android/wiki/DeviceSupport for known issues about individual devices.

Great App + great founder - Mr. Daniel Sandler. We are thankful Mr. Sandler, for all your hard work! Folks, I'm Alexander Madani, The Developer of EZ Notes (a feature Rich organizer.) Years ago Mr. Sandler provided me his kind permission to incorporate Markers into EZ Notes (as Markers is an open source project.) I recently fixed all the bugs in Markers and it's bundled into the paid (pro) version of EZ Notes. The paid version of EZ Notes is the one with the bug fixes of Markers & much more!

This app is awesome. On my note 2, it loads very fast, is responsive, and is a joy to draw with. It's still awesome on my note 4, note 8.0 tablet, note 8 and 9, and my note 20 ultra.

Very simple, puts low mental restrain for when you just want to do quick sketches, pressure support is great, I also like the way you change brush size. Never seen its done like that. Also, I might ask for too much here since it's a foss app and its kinda dead, but can you please add canvas mirroring, ability to scale down ui, better way of switching to eraser, and a way to resize the canvas, with those added I think it would be the perfect sketching app out there!... well for me at least. Thanks!

Was neat but after the recent update, save button says drawing saved, but it isn't. Share no longer does anything. And if you use the hand to move the drawing around, tiny gaps appear between the tiles the image is stored internally as.

There are only a limited amount of colors and brushes that's it

How are you to make a sketch if you can't even make more frames? 1 star💛

This app used to be so good for me. That was until the size kept doubling up to the point that the app would crash if I even ATTEMPTED to draw anything. This really needs an update.
