Art has come a long way in the last decade and has now been expanded to include art that can be created on a computer or even a Smartphone. This gives artists the freedom to create works of art while on the go and a number of special apps have been created for the iPad to help artists to express themselves. Here is a selection of iPad apps that artists should check out.
