Layers is a painting application for the iPhone and iPod Touch and is by far the most accessible and easy to use that I have seen yet. Layers gets its name from it most prominent feature that allows the user to add up to five layers to each drawing they make which gives more creative freedom to artists who like to draw and tweak later. The app has almost all the tools an artist would need, with varying brush sizes and styles as well as the ability to change the opacity of the brush. Colors can be chosen from a full color wheel and can be selected from the painting itself using the eyedropper tool as well. It has a sizable history capacity and the controls are extremely simple and unobtrusive.

Perhaps my most favorite feature is the ability to save your painting as a JPG or even a PSD file that can be mailed and edited later on a PC. Those with a mac can use the OSX Viewer to replay the drawing.

Overall, be a graphic designer myself, this app blows everything else I\'ve seen out of the water. It has set itself up as the best mobile tool for designers to scratch down design ideas that can be both simple or elaborate and email a PSD that can be then fleshed out into a finished product. Though this isn\'t a feature-full app, it definitely has it where it counts.

It would be nice to see some more features added in future updates. Canvas size would be nice to adjust and the app sometimes gets a bit slow when moving layers. Still, it is the best painting app in the appstore. Check it out
