Brushes (http://www.brushesapp.com/ http://www.brushesapp.com/) is already very popular with quite a few artists and school teachers.

Painting with Brushes feels very fluid, even if you are a beginner. More professional tools are not quite so accessible (and not only because of their price). What will we do with tablets?

Some things will not work as well, some will work so much better and the only way to find out is to try.
