I paint about as well as Hitler

So after reading about how the June 1st New Yorker cover was drawn entirely on the iPhone, I knew I had to get in on that. The app for it is called Brushes, costs $4.99 (same cost as the magazine itself), and is superior to the other drawing programs I’ve tried for the simple reasons […]
