This app is spectacular! Creates beautiful art and anyone can do it. No matter how artistic you feel you are, this app will enable you to create a myriad of wonderful intricate creations, with endless possibilities. I agree with another reviewer who said that if you have anxiety, this app will help you. The calming music, the visual majesty, and the interactive design process will soothe you and center you in the moment. Let go of your regrets, let go of the melancholy nostalgia of hindsight, let go of the past, let go of nervous thoughts about the future, let go of your worries and predictions - rest and float happily here in the present. Sometimes we need a break from the constant stream of analysis and the reflexive judgements we make subconsciously about everything we see or experience - We need to experience for a while without evaluating or appraising or labeling anything and this is an experience like that. Don't think - just listen to the music and let your fingers move. Believe me. This is meditating without meditating. And it's worth every penny.
If you have always wanted to create beautiful art, or just draw satisfying pieces that you are proud to show to your friends and family, this is the app for you. It allows us to explore our own creative energy, but gives you tools to make it easy and enjoyable instead of frustrating and complex. Some of the art apps are so complicated that there is a steep learning curve. With Silk you are off and running in no time. Use the links in the upper right corner to change the shape of your lines, the circles of color on the bottom right to change colors (you can mix them together if you like or use the arrows to forward through the prepared palettes) and the links on the bottom left to change what type of output you want. Mix, match, play, it’s all effortless and so relaxing. This app is well worth the price, I have gotten hours of enjoyable artistic expression out of it, and I am just getting started. Enjoy!
recommended to art lovers who have anxiety or need help calming down
this app is honestly amazing. the music, the way that the art looks, everything. it's super calming, and since I have anger issues and depression, I play this a lot. it helps me calm down and let my imagination flow, however it wants. it's super good, and for a cheap price too. this app is $3 and should be $20 because of how good it is, way better than the computer site. more options, colors, and you even get a separate black and white, plus a rainbow color for whatever color pallete you use. i don't know if there's anything bad about this, no adds either! thanks for making such a beautiful and calming app!
So beautiful. So smooth and flowy. Such a rich opportunity for creativity. I can play with it for hours. This latest version allows many more permutations than the previous version. More line quality choices, and more colors. My only suggestion for further developments is please add more dark colors. Like the black, where dark gets laid over light. Currently, the only truly dark color is the black. The other dark colors have dark "thumbnails" in the color picker, but when used they lay down light. It would be nice if there were subtle dark colors to paint over the top of bright areas. An eggplant purple, a navy blue, a deep olive green, a rich deep umber, etc. Thank you for making this app, it is such a delight!
I bought this on a whim as I was looking for an app to create my own music visualizations. Not exactly what I wanted, but I absolutely love it nonetheless and find the various tools to be quite adequate for creating a stellar array of beautiful imagery. Highly addicting, and I cannot give the developer enough props for the SILKY smooth user interface and just the overall aesthetic. Very tasteful. A true masterpiece. My only wish is that there would be two additional draw tools: 1. One that draws perfect circles that can be resized and spiraled with dragging motions, for easier “flower of life” type shapes 2. A straight line tool, where you place point A, drag to point B, and when releasing the touch a perfectly straight line is drawn. Currently, you have to swipe pretty fast to get anything close to a straight line and the swipe speed leads to lots of inaccuracies. Also I would love to see this somehow someway morphed into a custom music visual creator. It would be divine. That is what I was looking for to begin with, but I’m very happy to have found this.
I have no words! This app is so calming, I haven’t even been playing for five minutes and I’m so calm and I don’t even care about anything else. This app is amazing and I saw another review saying it helps with anxiety and I’m looking forward to having help with my anxiety. Edit: I’ve had this app for months almost a year and it’s so amazing whenever I play it I feel calm. I like making little flowers in this game and sending them to my friends. If you have anxiety or stress then I definitely recommend this game it’s really soothing and calm.
Silk Paints (the other Silk Paint) was, and is, the opportunity to create original art. This app is for the artistically challenged whose only chance for creative balance is in turning the canvas into a mirror image. Frankly a duck could draw a masterpiece. Download the other app and enjoy the difference. Thank you for your comments, Yuri. Perhaps Apple would do an article in the App Store using some of my work, then you might be able to jack the price on Silk Paint. Let me know where I could forward some of my stuff to you. My art has been in Mac shows and in national mags. As a rule i keep it off of the Net, but I would make an exception for some of my Silk Paint art—as long as Apple identifies my art with my name.
I personally enjoyed the computer version of this app, but I love the iPhone version even more. More color palettes, more symmetry options to work with. Even when you go to pick your lines (straight or curvy), there are buttons that give your Silking an airbrushed quality - with or without the actual lines! And you don’t even have to feel bad about not saving your Silkings - it only takes about 30 seconds to make one, anyway. All in all, this app is absolutely mesmerizing, and worth much more than the $2.99 price tag.
This is the best app ever created in the whole entire world I’ve literally played this app for literally so long so The one thing I didn’t like so I can make a Perfect Circle, Monterey maybe make a new new update so you can make a circle show me this is so creative I love this so much it’s so creative and so much fun!!! It’s so much fun I kept playing it over and over again but the one thing I didn’t like about it but sometimes I didn’t look that good but I’ll fix it it’s so creative
How do I start first the all the colors and that you can blend them is so creative second all the brushes you can use is uncountable there’s so many to choose from and not like the last slik game were you could not choose your colors or photos you had to buy them or use Facebook or other social media apps and you could not get different brushes ever you could not even buy them so slik 2 is so a upgrade from slik 1 I give this app a 5/5 stars
So I was at school it was a normal day and basically we were have silent time aka computer time and I was playing keep out on portaportal and then i looked over to see that my best friend was playing silk I asked "what are you playing?" and she said "want me to get you on there?" an I said "Yeah! Just let me do this real quick"and then she got me on there and I was like "wow!" after playing it for awhile I absolutely fell in love with it! You would totally get it it's worth the money
This app is a great coping skill! It is very relaxing. The ONE thing that I don’t like is that I wish that you could change the size of the blend. It is surprisingly cheap! No matter what color or pattern you pick, it will never look well, bad! So it is impossible to get upset! So whenever you get angry or have a bad day, just turn on silk, and it feels like all your problems just melt away!
Very fun app, and absolutely beautiful graphics! I used to have a similar-concept app which has since been discontinued — I was excited to find this as a possible replacement, and it’s almost everything I was hoping for! The one feature from that discontinued app that I miss a lot on this one is an option to have cycling colors draw over previous colors rather than turning white. It can be so meditative to draw and just keep going and going and going without needing to stop to switch brushes. There was a sense of continuous unfolding pattern that felt like slowly turning a kaleidoscope. I don’t know how difficult this would be to do programming-wise — is continuous color-cycling self-coloring-over a possible future upgrade? An example (but nowhere near as gorgeous as this app) is Fingerpaint II by MeritumSoft. Either way, thank you for putting together this beautiful app!
Sure this game is a bit pricy for what you think you’re getting but trust me it is for sure worth every cent it is so fun and satisfying even if you are like me and have no artistic abilities you can still do it and it is so fun I love love love love love this game and I don’t think I will ever delete this app it is so fun and amazing and so much better than the silk game online that game is fun I guess but this one is for sure the best purchase I have ever made
This is a really good app and I recommend it for so many things!! It is good for random doodling, sketching, or even more advanced drawing. It works well because of the color features and drawing tools. The only thing I could say that would further improve this amazing app is to add white backgrounds. Sometimes I’m in a mess when I’m submitting for contests online and they ask for a transparent or white background when I used Silk as my first app to sketch a nice drawing and now my drawing has a black background.
This game cause it isn’t just for fun it’s brilliant teaches you a bunch of things like that’s the main thing is it teaches you is that if you were to get two lines and draw the same thing it looked insanely cool you’re teaching your head what you would want it to learn about two lines on art there other sentence settings about the lines but still get it
Silk is amazing. I can’t find words to describe this app because it is one of the best apps I’ve ever downloaded. You can be artistic and creative with silk. And when you combine colors and use different drawing materials in the app, it’s just so beautiful. The graphics are beautiful, the colors are outstanding, and I really suggest you download it. And also, silk is helping and helped me through hard times, thank you silk!
I like this version better than the computer version
This game is much better than the computer version it's got much more choices of colors than the computer version and you can use multiple fingers and you can't do that with computer also there are more choices of patterns than the computer version it is much better than the computer version
Exceptional artistic expressionism...but it requires you to master the creative capabilities at your disposal. There will always be some chaos along with the genius as it is inherent in the digital algorithms built into the core codebase. Once you learn/develop a modicum of control, real art will emerge. It is inevitable for the serious or even casual user. I agree that an option for transparent and variable color backgrounds would be an immense improvement.
This is a fun app and while I'm glad I downloaded it I find it a bit frustrating as I can't seem to access some of the features it supposidly has. The lay out isn't very intuitive. I can't find the eraser or the ability to work with the rainbow brush. That said I've used the previous version of Silk before this one (Silk 1) and this one seems pretty much the same - there are a few upgrades but unless I'm really missing something I'm not seeing the 'new' features. It's still fun and relaxing though!
I love this app. It’s fun and relaxing. I am by no means artistic, I draw stick people….lol. With this app anything I draw is really petty. It brings out my creativity. Well worth the one time payment to purchase. Plus, I love the fact that it is a one time purchase and not a monthly fee. So much greed out there with other apps. Kudos to the developer! Great job!
I love the app you can do anything with it you can make an animal person flower star anything all sorts of colors and shapes to make things with there’s just one thing you should add you should make it to where you can zoom in I also love how you can just play around and find something to make
I'm not normally one for apps that don't do something useful, but I keep coming back to this one. It's simple - just draw random shapes with your finger(s) - yet subtle and infinitely variable in its results. No two drawings are the same... and all are beautiful. I find Silk to be calming and relaxing whenever I use it, which is often. So I guess it does something useful after all.
It helps my child who has anger problems and can help yours it can calm your child down no problem I prefer silk art for anyone It has different patterns and colors my child has fun with it he creates different styles colors and patterns after hard days of school he comes home and plays silk art every day
I wasn't sure what this app would be like at first. My partner has the older version and he showed me what he made. It was amazing! So I played with it and immediately got hooked. It's SO relaxing and fun. I just bought this version and I never buy apps bc I don't have much money. But this was really worth it. Especially if you need some relaxation stimulus.
If you want to understand how or why you can enjoy art, simply start creating with this app. Incredibly intuitive and enjoyable. If you’ve found this you’re missing out if you don’t give it a try. Doubles as a calming meditative experience.
So my is taking computer art in 7th grade and they are using this app in school. The first week of school (virtually) has been a little rocky with the sites not always working, so I downloaded it onto my phone. Oh my goodness!!!!! I LOVE IT! He has created done really beautiful fractals with it and so have I. I HIGHLY recommend this app to everyone!!
This app is fantastic the only issue I have is I wish I could have a white background option so that all of the artwork created isn’t required to be on a black background. This is a very small issue but I feel this incorporation to the app would expand the possibilities even further.
I wish I could go back in time and give this to myself. If you have anxiety this is a must have. So soothing, so beautiful, so much better than the other mandala apps out there. This is the one to get. If you only get one app, get this one because it is so good for thinking and relaxing. It's like being at an art spa.
Easily my favorite art app by far. The stuff I make with such little effort amazes every time. If I could make one suggestion to the developer it would be to add options to adjust the overall resolution of the image and the option to save what you’re working on and not just exporting it.
First off I love this app it’s so fun to use when I need a little creativity boost and is enjoyable to look at. An idea I have is that there should be an AR function in this app It would be cool to make this 3D and be able to make a sort of gallery in your room and to save rooms and be able to load them again.
Beautiful colors and unimaginable designs. It perfect for young drawers and makes an even design. Totally recommend. I do wish you could change background, plus my daughter has to save pictures of it since the app doesn’t save it.
It would be nice to have many undos. also it would be nice to have an option to hide the X and those on the bottom screen. i made some beautiful art only to be two stepped to blackness. if you could add a feature to hide the three like The X, share and the one that would be great.
This is one of the few apps i paid, $2.99. It is so relaxing. When creating things i smile and relax. This drawing app also has soft music in the background while you draw. I found it while still sitting in my pj's on the couch. Guess i should get up and do some of the things are need to do.
It was several days after getting this app when I finally opened it. I had forgotten what it does. Oh my! What an amazing experience! Relaxing creativity, beautiful abstract imagery, calming music. I love the opening mode of symmetry that generates the companion drawing as you draw. Lots of possibilities to explore for beautiful creations. Thanks for a wonderful app!
Silk is an amazing app! It is inexpensive and let's people express their creativity! I adore this app because it has so many different designs to choose from, and it also lets people just go for it!! Silk is so amazing and is worth the two dollars! Silk is so creative and I haven't seen anything like it! I love silk, and it is worth it!
It’s really calming and I have stress a lot so it really helps me
I think it’s a great app I am stressed a lot and I use it all the time because I have a stress and this is like if you have stress it really helps because it like how do you like every time you do it like you can just shake out your nerves
Ok so I've had this app for about 5 days and man I'm in love with it it's so soothing and your just make weird shapes with you fingers but it's very calming and if you have like anxiety( like me ) I recommend this app for you it helps me as well It just gives you this warming kind of vibe It's great you should get it
This is enchanting for me, and the toddlers. They play with Silk for long periods of time…better than some other online choices. I also find it relaxing, and “head clearing”. Far and away the best, most used app we have.
I’ve used this app for years to create pictures for my website, but I’m constantly limited in my creativity because I cannot change the color of the background. I really really hope that this feature will be in the next release
This is to who ever sees this about the game silk...
If you don’t have this game I really recommend buying this game cause it’s like an artist side kick. It’s like an artist side kick because you can draw cool stuff change colors, change styles, and change how you like you’re lines and the darkness. So that’s why I recommend it and why it’s like and artist side kick.
Honestly it isn't tinge best app I have ever downloaded but I get yelled at by my parents a lot and I get a lot of stress. This totally takes my mind of everything. It costs money but totally worth it. Just ask your friends for iTunes gift cards for your birthday :P
I can’t agree more with I❤️ making movies... it IS better than the computer version. At school this is a choice for technology specials. Today I even did it at school!!! I bet your rich from making this!
God....I started crying so hard seeing the results of just a few strokes. This sacred geometry is very much healing especially when you do it yourself. Thank you creators. I feel like I won a jackpot lottery. This is so magic...
Hi, great app!!! But it would be cool if you add a video recording feature. With different speed options and the ability to store of course... it will be unbelievable) I think you understand)
So honestly this app is called Silk. You can draw a wonderful mirror masterpiece and save them to you’re photo album to keep forever. I have had so much experience with drawing apps and I have never had one like this. Keep up the good work!
I love silk 2 it’s the 3rd 🥉 best app on my iPad but it was hard to see what did what I could hardly find out where the rainbow 🌈 brush was. the button 🔴 for it could only show 2 colors at one time
