First take on Monopaint! Sharing some test doodles and trying out (almost) every single tool on the art sample I drew.
Can I just say how amazing this app is? 😭 Drawing on my Supernote is 10x more fun now.
I know AI makes building custom apps easier these days, but putting together a full drawing app and taking the time to research and understand what users want is no small effort.
My favorite features have to be the variety of blending options and brush overlays. The opaque and transparent brush modes are something I didn't know I needed, and the toggleable wet canvas is perfect for mixed-media art.
I was surprised how capable the paint bucket, gradient fill, and shape tools worked on an eink device. Everything feels quick & responsive, especially compared to Atelier, which has always felt slow and laggy to me (even when selecting tools).
The floating bar grayscale color picker and PAGES is heaven-sent. And thank you for adding the SUMI (round) brush! That's been at the top of my brush wishlist for a long time. 😭
Anyway, I wanted to give a shoutout of appreciation because it's rare to see feature improvements aimed at creative users. (We feel like we're put on the back burner to wait.) So seeing someone take the time to build something like this for the community means a lot!
TLDR: Monopaint on Supernote is awesome, it has almost every tool I need. Huge thank you to u/mpdairy for making it. I left a separate online note with all my feedback to avoid turning this post into a textwall. :D
