Products that do what Inkwash, a watercolor sketching app and explanation does

I've made a drawing app based on my physical sketching practice, using fluid sim and some shader tricks to mimic watercolor-style ink washes. Best used on iPad or with a drawing tablet. The linked article shows how the core engine works, with plenty of little interactive demos. It was fun to make, sharing in hopes others find it fun too :)

Painting app with many brushes, reference drawing and auto color picker▲5
It is a free drawing app that I took the courage to finally reveal after years of development. Main idea was to make drawing from reference effortless but also make an app that makes sketching very realistic especially with pencil. After Importing a reference image the "peek" button and additional slider are unlocked, allowing for quick preview of the reference image and fast changing of the reference image opacity so that you can trace or paint over the reference. The app is still in beta so expect bugs and crashes. In the near future I am going to create a website to describe its features…
