Everyone has her or his own set of talents. Some may have received
the gifts of dancing skills, while others may be skilled in mixing
colors and creating art. Talents and skills make humans special and
these can be naturally acquired or actively nurtured.
For those
who have a creative mind and want to improve their skills and talents,
we have compiled some apps to awaken and cultivate your creative growth.
These apps will help you nurture your gifts and, at the same time, have
a great time with your Android device. So, here are the apps.
Artists need something to visually represent their creative ideas.
Artists use different ways to present their ideas such as creating art
on street walls, creating outstanding figures in stone, splashing colors
on the canvas, and doodling on a sketchbook. For professional and
wanna-be artists, you can create and practice your skills on your
sketchbook. But if you want to preserve Mother Earth and save paper, you
can try out
SketchBook Mobile Express for your Android device.
This
app is designed to help artists hone their craft while keeping their
tools conveniently in their Android devices. The app includes basic
tools such as a paint brush, an air brush, a pencil, a fill color
bucket, and the irreplaceable eraser. Other features include undo, redo,
expand, create new work, and a color selector.
For advanced
users, you can also create layers and stack them up to create a
magnificent piece of art. This app is perfect for those who own
bigger-screen Android devices with a stylus pen. But, it can also be
installed on smaller devices, as long as the device has a 1.0 GHz
processor and about 500 MB of RAM.
What are you waiting for? Save more paper with SketchBook Mobile Express installed on your Android device.

I remember the day when I first doodled for my humanities class.
Doodling is quite easy. First, you will have to aimlessly draw a line
without lifting your pen or pencil. Out from that blob of lines, find a
recognizable object. My first doodle drawing was of a man siting on a
chair with a heart on his desk. Doodling is fun and improves your
creativity. You can doodle on your Android device with the
Picasso – Draw, Paint, Doodle! app.
Aside
from creating doodles, you can also make works of art with this app.
The app includes basic art tools such as the paint brush, color fill
bucket, and the eraser. You can also draw art on your photos. Load up
your pictures from Picasso or your phone’s Gallery and make it your
painting canvas. Draw some balloons on your birthday party picture. Add a
funny moustache and a tattoo to your friend’s photo. And of course,
doodle something to complete your unique piece of art. Doodle your way
to a creative mind with the Picasso – Draw, Paint, Doodle! app.
