Gessō: Draw & Paint

Gessō is a professional painting studio built from the ground up for Android — designed for artists who want a fast, beautiful, distraction-free canvas without compromise. Most Android drawing apps feel like they were built for a different device. Gessō isn't. Every gesture, brush stroke, and menu was built natively for Android tablets and styluses, with the low-latency response serious digital artists expect. DRAW WITHOUT LAG Gessō uses native low-latency rendering so your stroke appears the instant your stylus touches the screen — no delay, no jitter, no waiting for the canvas to catch up. Full pressure, tilt, and hover support for S Pen and other Android styluses. A REAL BRUSH ENGINE Choose from dozens of hand-tuned brushes — pencils, inks, watercolors, airbrushes, textures — or build your own in Brush Studio. Adjust grain, scatter, pressure curves, and built-in stroke smoothing until it feels exactly right. GESTURES THAT GET OUT OF YOUR WAY Two-finger tap to undo, three-finger tap to redo Pinch to zoom, rotate with two fingers Hold to pick a color with the eyedropper QuickShape: draw and hold to snap into a perfect line, circle, or polygon Four-finger tap to hide the interface and draw on a full, clean canvas LAYERS, THE WAY THEY SHOULD WORK Unlimited layers with 20+ blending modes, opacity control, clipping masks, alpha lock, and groups. Organize complex illustrations without losing track of a single element. EVERY PAINTING, REPLAYED Gessō automatically records a timelapse of your process as you paint — export it in one tap to share your process on social media. YOUR WORK, YOUR FORMATS Export to PNG, JPG, or layered PSD. Import photos as reference layers or paint directly over them. NO SUBSCRIPTIONS. NO ADS. NO INTERRUPTIONS. Gessō is a one-time purchase. Buy it once, own it forever, and get every future update for free. No monthly fees, no paywalled brushes, no banner ads breaking your focus. BUILT FOR: Illustrators and concept artists Comic and manga creators Hobbyist painters and sketchers Anyone who's wanted a serious painting app on Android tablets Whether you're sketching on the bus or finishing a full illustration, Gessō gives you a canvas that keeps up with your hand.
