Windows drawing games/apps that use pen/stylus

Just wondering if anyone knows of any drawing games or applications for windows that teach you to draw?

I have a surface pro and love drawing but I am really bad at it and I find it really annoying flicking back and forth between a drawing app and a web browser (and half screen is too small for me)

I know there are games like art academy and such on wii u/ds but don't know of anything on pc :(

thanks!

  • There are some design and illustration software on Steam. I'm not sure if there are any that comes with a 'training' mode though.

    You can also try GIMP, Paint.NET and Inkscape.

    Take note that drawing on a Surface Pro is very different from drawing on a graphics tablet — since you lack pressure sensitivity on the touch display your drawings will not come out as good looking as ones done on a proper Wacom.

    • Thanks scrimshaw, I had a look on steam couldn't find anything that looked like what I want unfortunately.

      I've got a sketchbook express from the windows store that does the basics for me, just an all in one with tutorial drawing built in would be so much easier for me.

  • Make sure you install the Wacom feel drivers and get pressure sensitivity…

    • I think I've got it already because the pen strokes get darker the harder I press in sketchbook express :)

  • There's a drawing app by Microsoft called Fresh Paint. I don't know much about it or anything else though. I only have a Surface RT with a capacitive stylus and don't really spend much time drawing. Fresh Paint falls under the "entertainment" category so maybe search in there.

    • I have Fresh Paint too but it doesn't have any tutorials that I can find unfortunately. I'll have a look under that category though thanks :)
