I realize that I just wrote a journal saying "I'm off on a break, won't be around for a while, ta-ta" and all that... but Nintendo just released Colors 3D for the 3DS. Holy hell am I enjoying this app! I had to share some of my doodles with you guys!

The one of Alex was my 2nd attempt at painting. My first attempt was a country meadow and it turned out pretty crappy. I sketched and inked the characters on separate layers to keep it all clean (doesn't look very good in 3D). The Talus one was an attempt to get a better grasp of the lineart.

I'm still a little flabbergasted that I was able to paint those on my 3DS. A touch screen interface for painting is something I've always wanted but was never able to afford. Granted this isn't the best app out there, but for quick doodles that I want to work on while I'm out and about, it's perfect! Largest size you can work in is 960x1280 and the app is only $6 in the Nintendo eShop.

I could probably do 10x better than this with my wacom tablet and Photoshop, but I really love the portability of my 3DS and being able to draw so accurately with it. The app is also available on the iPhone (probably the iPad as well).

If you want to view my other artwork and see a video of how I drew these, please visit my "Colors" gallery here: [link]

If you don't mind me asking, how do you layer your paintings?

I got colors 3d yesterday because of this. Oh my god is it amazing. I love how well executed the 3d layer idea is. It really gives your art a sense of depth that's harder to achieve with a normal program.

I know realistically you probably wont/cant reply, but if you could tell me how you managed to post these on DA, that'd be awesome, since Id like to do the same with me own paintings. Please and thank you.

You can save them to an SD card.

You can also upload them to the online gallery and download them from your computer.
