Paper has been hyped to me by multiple extremely smart, extremely talented folks at NPR, but I remained skeptical given my utter uselessness with at least three other drawing apps I’ve tried on iPad so far.

I’ve come around after spending some time with it this afternoon. Paper removes the paralysis of choice Adobe Ideas gave me with infinite brush size and color combinations while retaining just enough stroke variations to effectively translate the travel of a Wacom Bamboo stylus into UI sketches that don’t make me feel like I am a total fraud.

If you’ve been frustrated by the results other iPad drawing apps have yielded, I highly recommend you give tablet sketching another try with Paper.
