From DS To iPhone
Colors Is One Cool Sketching App
By Shaun Hatton - December 31st, 2009
In the year 2007, I spent much of the winter months in transit thanks to a hectic visiting schedule with the extended family. While in the lounge areas of airports, waiting through delay after delay, I would scribble a few sketches on my Nintendo DS using the homebrew application, Colors DS. Above is a drawing of Mega Man that I did with it. The little app is so versatile that it handles colour blending, pressure variations, and even saves down the images and can send them to any email address.
The people behind this application have also released a version for the iPod Touch and the iPhone. At $4.99 it’s a great deal, particularly if you’re artistically inclined or just happen to like sketching and messing around with colours (no pun intended). It controls a little differently, considering instead of a precise stylus one has to use a finger. But it’s still as fun as ever.
