I use iColorama and Glaze for painting, I usually use Hipstamatic for shooting. Formulas and Distressed FX offers beautiful textures & filters and Image Blender for double exposures.

If I have enough time; I try to explore new apps and I like doing this very much. Sometimes, I draw by sketching. I believe that I will explore more apps and use them for the new artworks.
