Inspire Pro
Try Inspire Pro and you will quickly see that it is a painting app like no other! Our new proprietary painting engine Sorcery™, based on OpenGL ES 2.0, takes full advantage of the GPU to render brush strokes with brilliant 64-bit color, laser-sharp sub-pixel precision and incredibly fast speed. The breathtaking blending effects of a dry brush will absolutely stun you — use a tiny bit of pressure to add a subtle blur to your artwork or crank the pressure all the way up to actually mix existing colors on the canvas together to create new ones!
Whether you are a beginner, expert, or somewhere in between, you will enjoy the simplicity and power of Inspire Pro.
REVIEWS
"Inspire Pro has easily the best color blending system of any painting app I have used. With the Dry Brush toggle button to apply and blend colors together, the workflow is incredibly fast and reminds me of working with oil paints."
- Kyle Lambert (Macworld.com)
"For those who have been waiting for the digital means to replace their canvas — your app is here and you should buy it. Inspire Pro is a powerfully simple platform that will enable artists and doodlers everywhere to create beautiful works."
- Samuel L. Lytle (AppAdvice.com)
"There is no shortage of art apps on Apple’s App Store, but the number of truly good ones is a short list indeed. Add Inspire Pro to the top of any and all of those lists, as it easily bests some of its top competitors."
- Chris Kirby (148Apps.com)
"While the app is easy enough to use for beginners, professional artists will be able to harness Inspire Pro to its fullest and bring their masterpieces to life."
- Gwen Phua (Appmodo.com)
"I have found Inspire Pro to be the most responsive and the most realistic of the apps I have used. My favorite part of the app is blending colors using the dry brush. My wife actually paints on canvas and she also found Inspire Pro’s dry brush to be very realistic."
- Randy Herring (iPhoneLife.com)
