ibis Paint

Mobile drawing for illustrators and comic artists

ibis Paint is a mobile art and design app for creating illustrations, manga, anime-style artwork, and social media graphics. It suits beginners who want a broad set of drawing tools as well as experienced artists who need layers, brushes, rulers, and detailed editing controls on an Android device. The interface is dense, but the layout keeps the canvas central while placing tools within a few taps.

Tools for detailed digital artwork

The app combines a large brush and material library with features aimed at structured illustration work. Artists can build images across multiple layers, use blending modes and clipping masks, and apply stabilization when drawing line art. Manga-focused tools include frame dividers, screentones, rulers, and text controls, making it practical for comics as well as standalone drawings.

• Large selection of brushes, textures, and other materials
• Layer-based editing for shading, adjustments, and compositing
• Symmetry and radial rulers for controlled designs
• Tools for manga panels, tones, and text
• Process recording for creating drawing time-lapse videos

A capable app with a learning curve

ibis Paint offers more control than a basic sketching app, but that flexibility can make the first session feel busy. New users may need time to understand the menus and layer workflow. Once those controls become familiar, the app supports everything from quick sketches to complex, multi-stage illustrations without requiring a desktop computer.

Track record

Developed by ibis inc., ibis Paint holds a 4.52/5 rating from 10,433 ratings and lists 100,000+ installs. Those figures place it among the established drawing tools for Android, with a user base large enough to reflect use beyond a short-lived launch period.
