A lot of depth lies behind a deceptively simple exterior. Fun to play around with but also possible to make great art.

Impressively slick. [July 2012, p.87]

Clean but not particularly exciting presentation aside, this is a more than capable little paining app - you need to be good at art to get the most from it though. [June 2012, p.106]

What makes Colours 3D superior to painting apps you might have on your phone is the obvious inclusion of 3D. So now you can paint anything you want to have much more depth. It's a breakthrough in art. You can also look at other people's amazing drawings, and submit your own (though I wouldn't dare!). You can also play a fast-forward video of the painting. Seriously, what some people can do with it is just incredible. The only thing I dislike is the menu system for brush types, colours, and things like that.

I'm no artist, but I had fun with Colors 3D. Even though there are a couple things I wish were incorporated that were not, checking out the gallery made me realize the potential of this program. For only $6.99, it's definitely one to recommend to pass the time if you like to draw and paint.

Colors 3D is no doubt one of the best applications to grace the eShop and if you have an interest in drawing and art in general, you'll love it.

A fantastic drawing application with many layers to make 3D pictures, you can even make animation in it if you get the hang of it. There are a fantastic amount of tools for you to use. There is also a massive online community built into the application where you watch watch tutorials and look at how everyone's drawings are done for inspiration.

Though lacking in any type of structured play, Colors! 3D's robust free drawing system and unique ability to let anyone create their own three-dimensional artwork more than make up for this.

This is SwapNote for artists. I highly recommend this app, and I think it will develop a big following among the 3DS artists out there.

And for those of you who do and who want to get a little drawing time in, you can't really go wrong with Colors! 3D. It's available for a reasonable price – $6.99 in Nintendo's eShop – and allows you to put your 3DS to use honing an actual useful skill.

Colors 3D is a very good application for 3DS that will allow the most talented to develop all kinds of work related to painting and drawing.

ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THIS DL IS TO LOOK AT THIS (and watch the "video" that shows its creation): ****. Also, I am not saying just anyone can accomplish that phenomenal painting, but the point is that it shows the ability of Colors! 3D. If you are an artist, you can make a masterpiece and finally show it in 3D (to a point, there are 6 "layers" of depth). It isn't great for making an object seem like it is moving from one plane to another, but it is amazing when you are trying to put objects behind or in front of another. Just look at some of the forestry that people have made and you will 100% understand the awesome potential of this for artists. Those lions were CREATED on the 3DS and look that flawless. The possibilities are endless. I think for true artists used to one-dimensional painting/drawing, this could be a game-changer. This is a new medium, and to call it anything less is denying where this could eventually lead. I, by no means am, but I have been mesmerized by painting after painting in the gallery. Some would rock considered what tiny screen they were created on even in 2D, but some people have truly embraced the possibilities of still 3D art. And for $6.99, I cannot be missed if you have a 3DS. You'll spend more time looking at other people's work than making your own in some cases, and it still will be worth far more than you paid.

I remember playing this on my DS that had a flashcart. It was one of my favourite home-brewed pieces of software out there. Fast forward a few years: it's great to see it get full official support and become one of the best apps on the 3DS! It's really easy to use and the 3D effect is really good! It's like a mini Corel Draw/Photoshop in your pocket, minus the $500-900 pricetag!

A relatively cheap way to have fun, whether or not you are a good artist. There's a lot you can do with the app and the layering to add 3D to the drawings really make more room for creativity. You can have up to 5 layers, and the controls for colors! 3D are very easy to use. Worth the $6.99 it costs.
