Though ît has definite limitations, and there is Zen Brush 3, I just feel compelled to shout out this app. It's really, really good at what it does. I've made some quite lovely art with it, and remain quite smitten. Though I must admit that I'm also very curious about the missing Zen Brush 2 app? ,,,, More brushes and paper would be A+ ! But a solid, fun art application!!

Was going to rate low, but tried it & honestly can not rate lower than 3 or 4*. If you have the money, this app looks worth it! Beautiful strokes! Perfect for calligraphy & ink painting, especially kanji & sumi-e, they even have the washi paper +others to go with it! Major problem though are the watermarks, no undo & virtually everything behind a pay wall. If you already have ads, allow for more to be utilized by free users. Also allow for red +others, as it would go wonderfully with the black.

Other than the redo button locked behind a paywall... I think this definitely captures the elegant and gentle way of creating Zen art. This can also be specifically useful for Kanji stroke practice - imagining the brush as an actual, real brush. I don't mind the paywall because I've always liked the method of painting/drawing by only using pencil and eraser. Great app.

All templates are in pro version and no ink shades available!!! Such a bad app😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

Rubbish, paid and nothing different, all geared toward IOS which considering it is coming through as a Samsung s pen app is just plain wrong. No colors, only shades of black and some templates.

Seriously? Full version to be allowed undo?
★☆☆☆☆Carissa English· Aug 3, 2022
I have to upgrade to full version to get undo and redo. It's expensive I can't afford it
★★☆☆☆Kaleigh· May 2, 2020
Undo button is locked behind a paywall. Yeah no, thanks. Fairly good-looking recreation of sumi-e, but that is just greed beyond the pale. Could get comparable from Median Paint and more for free.
