Description

Calligraphy Calm - Ink Painter is a minimalist art app in the tradition of Chinese and Japanese painting and calligraphy. Create a realistic, fluid ink painting effect on your iPhone and iPad with the swipe of your finger! Practice the art of simplicity and capture the essence of your subject. OUR BRUSHES Our brushes create a dynamic 'tapered' line effect, which produces a beautifully organic feel for handwritten typography and drawing. Try overlaying brush strokes and you will find the ink colors merge with the paper texture. Move your finger QUICKLY to increase the thickness of the line and SLOWLY to get a really thin line. This is what makes our brushes unique. Bigger brushes produce a rougher line texture. SPECIAL FEATURES To keep the app in line with Asian traditional painting you can add: • Ornamental borders to frame your art or calligraphy • Red stamps in the style of Chinese chops (choose from 22 designs) HOW TO ENJOY CALLIGRAPHY CALM 1) Use the painting tools for calligraphy writing or art. 2) Get into the flow of minimalist painting and feel calm. 3) Save your progress to the gallery * 4) Download your best designs to your device Photos for safe keeping. *Please note - Your paintings are saved to your device.

  • Amazing Calligraphy Resource

    I’m so thankful that I found this app. Calligraphy is a huge source of stress relief for me. I practice Japanese calligraphy. But due to my disability, I sometimes cannot practice calligraphy with a traditional brush and paper. These times, I get really stressed with no way of relieving it. However, I found this app during a time of great stress, and to my delight, it reproduces brush strokes really well! The blank canvas with the three different brush sizes lets me express what I need to express in an easy, accessible manner. Well done!
  • A Simple App both Brilliant and Powerful

    I am now 81 with health and mobility issues that prevent my doing the "real world" sumi-e painting I so enjoyed for so many years. This App now gives me a sense of that same joy and wonder with just the use of my finger and I am profoundly grateful to its developers for this reclaiming. It's simplicity is powerful and brilliant and can easily be used by both beginners and lifelong sumi-e painters with great joy and satisfaction. Try it. It will change your life.
  • Frustrating

    I use this app on my iPad Mini and for a long time was very satisfied. However, the app now crashes frequently without saving what I’ve done, despite the fact I “saved” it repeatedly as I went. It’s disheartening to work so hard and long on a drawing or painting only to lose it all when it’s halfway done.
  • Not user friendly

    There’s no tutorial to help beginners get started, no real calligraphy teaching at all. Just has a few letters to trace but nothing to teach a user the basics of starting calligraphy. Everything has to be a chargeable upgrade in order to get what I’m looking for, which isn’t helpful. I’m about ready to just delete the app and get a calligraphy kit vs trying on my iPad… very disappointing to say the least!
  • Not that great

    It’s not that great because I gotta pay to get colors and some other apps have colors for free…

  • Totally great Inspired Genius App.

    There still needs a way to make a duplicate copy so I can make new interations while preserving original. All the other paint apps have this so it shouldn't be too difficult. It is limited without this capacity as I am stopped from further evolving images but keping earlier ones. I would also like even more colors in the yellow range. But I must say I otherwise do totally Love & use your Calligraphy frequently.
  • Needs more features

    I love almost everything about this app. It responds beautifully. I just wish it had more features and allowed more feature adjustability.

    I paid for the app and now it’s not drawing anything! I would like to request a refund.
