Emoji Art Updates
14 July 2022
Earlier this year I published some new apps, and my favorite is the Emoji Art one. So - I have spent a bit of time making improvements to the app. The biggest change (in my mind) is that I made it easier to share the emoji art you make. Now,...
Upcoming Images Tool
04 July 2022
I am currently working on a new feature for Brush Ninja. Itās been highly requested, and something I have put off working on becuse I couldnāt work out a user interface that would work well. Itās take a long time and the solution seems obvious now, but Iām really happy...
Custom Animation Backgrounds
28 May 2020
Update: As of January 2021 this feature is now available on Brush Ninja. Thereās more help on setting custom backgrounds here. After āmore coloursā, custom background images is the most requested new feature. Iāve been asked for this a lot of times, and itās finally coming in Brush Ninja version...
Shape Palette
13 May 2020
In Brush Ninja Classic (the current version), you can draw rectangles, circles, triangles and stars. Brush Ninja v2 allows so much more. This feature actually came about by accident. I had added the basic shape drawing functionality to Brush Ninja v2, and then wanted to add a heart shape. Which...
Editable Text
06 May 2020

Custom Color Palette
29 April 2020
One of the most requested features is more colors in the color palette. In version 1 I intentionally kept the palette limited. This was for 2 reasons. To make Brush Ninja easy to use To encourage creativity through limitations Having now spent 2 years working on, and thinking about, Brush...
Modifying Objects Properties
20 April 2020
I think modifying object properties after they have been created is a really powerful thing. This will give us the ability to make some much more creative animations. Currently in Brush Ninja V2 you can change objects colours after they have been drawn. I think this will allow some quite...
Introducing Paint Brushes
13 April 2020
One of the things I have always wanted Brush Ninja to be is fun. Software is often quite business like and boring, and so I thought I would try to introduce some interesting new brushes to create with. Like the other shapes these brushes are vector based, which means you...
New Drawing Tools
07 April 2020
I really wanted to improve the drawing tools with the new Brush Ninja update. Drawing images is great, but itās much easier to work with objects. I attempted a fix for this with the move and rotate tools, and while they are quite cool itās a bit awkward if you...
