Tablets are being built with ever-better pressure sensitivity, allowing the artists among us to produce some incredible pieces of art.

App:
Downloading a free app will allow you to create and edit your creations. Here are our top suggestions for iOS and Android:
iOS: Paper – gives you access to basic brushes, colours and some great watercolours. As a nice bonus, it also allows you to share your creations directly to Twitter/Facebook/Tumblr.
Android: Infinite Design – great for making handwritten notes and drawing your own designs. It allows you to zoom, rotate and add effects to your canvas, as well as draw vector graphics. When you’re done, you can save your artwork as a JPG/PNG.
