App spends an inordinate amount of screen space and interface promoting other people's artwork and profiles. Latest drawings, hot artists, staff picks, popular today... where is the actual drawing and lessons this thing claims to have? It's more like a gallery and marketplace for already completed artwork from people who know what they're doing. Recommended to me as a good starting point for beginners, but I just don't see it.

Hello. PENUP is a SNS app for communicating through drawing. Coloring pages and live drawings, where you can follow along by watching videos, are available via the 'Latest coloring pages' and 'Latest live drawings' on the home screen, or through the 'Coloring' and 'Live drawing' tabs at the bottom. We hope you find joy in PENUP. Thank you.

This app is great there's no adds and it's really easy to use. I created some really good art pieces on this app as a beginner digital artists. The brushes are really good too but I'm giving it four stars because it lacks some features that other digital art apps have, like clipping mask and the liquify tool. If you could add these tools it would truly be an amazing app (not that it isn't already)

Hello, thank you for leaving a review despite your concerns. The clipping feature can be applied to the drawn area using the 'Layer Mask' option in the layer settings, and the Liquify feature is available as the 'Distort' function under Transform at the bottom of the drawing tool. For more details, please refer to the notice. Thank you.

I recently downloaded this app and I am truly grateful to the developers for creating such an easy to understand and use digital art application! I wanted to learn digital art but I was unable to understand the user interface in apps that I previously tried. However, Penup was so simple to use that I understood it in just a few attempts! I even drew my first illustration through it! Thank you so much, I am really happy to work with it!💚
