So, many of you may be aware of this already, but I thought I'd spread the word. I picked up a 3DS a couple months ago with the intention of using it as a travel entertainment/sketching device. Then I discovered that the application I had in mind, Colors, was actually a homebrew and wouldn't work on the 3ds without doing some stuff that breaks the EULA. A legit version was slated to be released, but...I forgot about it. Remembered yesterday, and I see it's been released.
So yeah, it's kinda crude, but it works, and now I can sketch digitally. It's handy for those ideas that are more color than anything, and don't lend themselves to ballpoint pen, or grey markers, or pencil, or similar sketching tools that I tend to carry with me. So far I have been wary of trying to carry an acrylic sketching set--too much mess. Maybe someday. For now, I'm excited to try some 3DS sketches.
There's a childlike finger-painting-ish quality to it that is invigorating! Perfect.
