In this part of the video, the presenter Brad discusses his 10 favorite Android drawing apps, starting with two Adobe apps: Photoshop Sketch and Illustrator Draw. Although these apps are free and popular among newcomers due to the Adobe brand, Brad is critical of their limitations such as the inability to import images, make selections, or use a fill tool. He points out that despite being on the market for five years, these apps lack necessary features and seem abandoned. Moving on to number 9, he critiques Clover Paint, emphasizing that its design does not suit his cartoon drawing style. He finds the app’s interface cluttered with unnecessary elements, which reduces usable drawing space, and criticizes the need for extensive online searches just to perform basic functions like creating a new layer.

In this part of the video, the creator discusses several drawing apps for Android tablets, highlighting their features and limitations:
1. **Super Brush**: This app turns an Android tablet into a drawing display for a Windows computer. It mirrors the desktop screen, allowing the user to draw in any Windows application. However, there is some lag, making the experience less smooth than using a Wacom tablet.
2. **Chloe on Sketch**: A new, free app that lets users import images, create line art, and add colors quickly. However, it lacks advanced brush settings and customization options. The app is noted for being completely ad-free, an advantage for those seeking uninterrupted drawing sessions.
3. **Concepts**: This app offers a free demo mode, but full functionality requires a subscription. It’s praised for a unique animated color picker but criticized for brush sensitivity that can pick up hand jitter. Despite this, the free version is quite functional and might appeal to many due to its well-designed interface.
The creator notes the strengths and weaknesses of each app, helping viewers decide which might suit their drawing needs.
