There's a lot you can do with the app and the layering to add 3D to the drawings really make more room for creativity. You can have up to 5 layers, and the controls for colors! 3D are very easy to use. Worth the $6.99 it costs.… Expand

   I remember playing this on my DS that had a flashcart. It was one of my favourite home-brewed pieces of software out there. Fast forward a fewI remember playing this on my DS that had a flashcart. It was one of my favourite home-brewed pieces of software out there. Fast forward a few years: it's great to see it get full official support and become one of the best apps on the 3DS! It's really easy to use and the 3D effect is really good! It's like a mini Corel Draw/Photoshop in your pocket, minus the $500-900 pricetag!… Expand

   ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THIS DL IS TO LOOK AT THIS (and watch the "video" that shows its creation):ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THIS DL IS TO LOOK AT THIS (and watch the "video" that shows its creation): http://colorslive.com/details/81294-Lion_Couple_by_Richtea87.php. Also, I am not saying just anyone can accomplish that phenomenal painting, but the point is that it shows the ability of Colors! 3D. If you are an artist, you can make a masterpiece and finally show it in 3D (to a point, there are 6 "layers" of depth). It isn't great for making an object seem like it is moving from one plane to another, but it is amazing when you are trying to put objects behind or in front of another. Just look at some of the forestry that people have made and you will 100% understand the awesome potential of this for artists. Those lions were CREATED on the 3DS and look that flawless. The possibilities are endless. I think for true artists used to one-dimensional painting/drawing, this could be a game-changer. This is a new medium, and to call it anything less is denying where this could eventually lead. I, by no means am, but I have been mesmerized by painting after painting in the gallery. Some would rock considered what tiny screen they were created on even in 2D, but some people have truly embraced the possibilities of still 3D art. And for $6.99, I cannot be missed if you have a 3DS. You'll spend more time looking at other people's work than making your own in some cases, and it still will be worth far more than you paid.… Expand

   Colors! 3D is the best painting tool I have used. It's less complicated than Art Academy, and it allows you rub out what you have done at anyColors! 3D is the best painting tool I have used. It's less complicated than Art Academy, and it allows you rub out what you have done at any time. The online database of the thousands of paintings is a very very good feature, as you get "likes" for each painting, it really does drag you in with this feature. Now the actual painting tool itself is very robust, simple to use but hard to master, it has an undo function (which is very handy). The colour mixing system is very well done and easy to use to great effect. The 3D also is easy enough to use simply, but can be hard to master. However, it does not get a ten for a few reasons, after a while of painting the "undo" function stops working. Whilst viewing the online gallery, it can crash, relatively often this happens, dampening the overall experience. And the final fault of the game is that you cannot search for paintings, or artists (as you can on the website on the computer) which means paintings are often ignored and do not get the recognition they deserve. Bottom line: If you want a simple, yet robust painting tool for the 3DS, this is the one!… Expand

   This is not a game, this is a painting application. Just thought i'd get that out of the way first so there's no confusion. that being said,This is not a game, this is a painting application. Just thought i'd get that out of the way first so there's no confusion. that being said, it's a rather robust and somewhat intuitive painting application and the inclusion of painting in 3d (which is actually more like slices akin to the multi-planar camera from animation days past) is pretty darn good! IF you don't have an artistic bone in your body and you can't even draw a stick figure to save your life, avoid this application as you're probably going to consider it wasted money... IF, however, you like painting/drawing or you're keen on learning, it's certainly worth considering. the screen size is a bit of a trade-off for portability but that's a rather small price to pay in my personal opinion.… Expand
