https://play.google.com/store/apps/de...

Q: Did you use a stylus?
A: In this video I just used my thumb, but these days I use a universal stylus.

Q: What app did you use to screen record this?
A: I use an app called Mobizen (there's also a just Samsung version) which works great because you don't need root or any of that stuff. It's also really nice because you can do internal or external mike, or add a watermark to your video. But my newer videos, I just used the built in Samsung screen recording.

Q: Is this a sponsor?
A: Nope, but I wish it was. Need money for college :(

Q: How do I download the art I have made?
A: Go to the main screen where you can see all the pictures you have made, and there you can tap on the one you want to save, and then tap the three dots at the moment and select save as jpg (or png)

Q: How do I move a layer?
A: Simply drag down the layer by tapping the picture part, holding and dragging down to where you want it to be.

Q: What is the difference between alpha lock and clipping?
A: Alpha lock and clipping both are features that only allow you to draw on a certain layer. Clipping makes it so you can only draw on the layer below, the layer you clipped it to, therefore when you erase the clipping layer it doesn't erase the base layer. Alpha lock is a feature where you cannot draw outside of the layer you are currently on. I also have a video on these concepts.
