From the moment you first open Paper, you will know that its well designed. You’re initially greeted with three interactive sketchbooks, with an option to create others. A majority of the app is run by swipes and pinch gestures making it extremely easy to navigate. It also features some great-looking drawing utensils including a felt-tipped pen, a pencil, a marker, a paint brush, and a tiny-tipped pen for writing text, in 9 different colors.
Paper has five modes: Draw, Sketch (pencil-like), Outline (marker-pen), Write(thinner strokes for text) and Color(a watercolor paintbox). The Draw feature is free,which is a good news . While the other modes can be unlocked in an in-app store for $1.99 each–which is kind of a bummer. You can pick and choose the tools you think will be most useful.
With an elegant interface and a simple but powerful array of tools, Paper is the simplest, most beautiful way to create on the new iPad. It helps you capture ideas, notes, storyboards, character designs, wardrobe, and the myriad number of things involved in pre-production. Anything made in Paper can be shared to your social networks and Tumblr. It even works as an argument for getting a stylus, although the app is finger-compatible as well.
Paper succeeds precisely because it leaves a lot of stuff out: it is the closest that any of these apps comes to the experience of picking up a real notebook, opening a blank page, and starting to draw. Paper is more suited to designs, sketches and artworks with five different drawing implements, one eraser, and a small selection of (well chosen) colors. .. In a nut shell, Paper is a simple,clean and gorgeous app which is good for basics but lack of features might bother some. Nevertheless, if you own an iPad, this sketch app is unmissable.
