Actually Infinite Painter seems to support pen tilt on the Note8. I was surprised because I was told it wasn't possible. It doesn't seem to work with the default Samsung apps however.
Probably Note 8.
The picture took about 14 hours to make and it was heavily inspired by this i.e. I had it open on my PC screen and trained drawing using the video.

it's closest to the mac app "Procreat" (which, to me is king... not from a Mac v Android/Samsung environment. But moreso an art standpoint)
I use Infinite Painter and unlocked the £3 version for creating imagery, and it can theoretically be used for writing too (pen or pencils are available as brushes) but I quite like to use S note calligraphy pens on a fake lined notebook background. The two things can be combined into a bigger composite image scrapbook style.
I am blushing now :) Thank you for your kind words
Try infinite painter (Android store) and get used/second-hand Note 3 like I did (it is like 150$ now) :) the phone works really well and the app is like 5$ (also has 14 day trial iirc) and is IMO better than whatever adobe tried to do on portable devices.
Alternatively you can try and get the Note tablets that were with styluses too but I was both in need of phone and drawing thingy so I went for Note 3.
EDIT: I never was good at drawing on paper much because I do a lot of revisions when I am not hapy and in the end you have a mess of eraser rubber and scratched paper everywhere. Digital painting really caught me and it was simple - I started by redrawing concept arts from dota and slowly I get more into drawing by eye (usually having the picture on the screen of my PC) into redrawing from memory (which I am now trying with drawing my GF)
Infinite Painter and ArtFlow are two that i see recommended often. I personally haven't used either of them, but i'd be interested if anyone has any opinions.
My favorite app is Infinite Painter. It is a little buggy but the dev is really active and pushing updates once or twice a week. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brakefield.painter has really great features and looks good.
if you've already heard of procreate, infinite painter is the closest one to it and is the most feature rich drawing app on android imo
yeah i laughed at that as well.
Its infinite painter

Its a good tool, but my daughter has issues with is crashing a lot on her S7 tablet.
I've used Sketchable on my wife's Surface Pro 4 and I liked it a lot, but on Android, I prefer Infinite Painter right now. I've also used Autodesk Sketchbook, Artflow, and Adobe Sketch, but not nearly as much as Infinite Painter.
My take
Pixel editing: Painter https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brakefield.painter
Use extensively as my photoshop.
The same company has another one but didnt use it for vector work.
Still in relation to vector and UX UI u could use Figma on the browser.
Alternatively you could install Linux and Gimp / Inkscape with it.
Years ago I've tested many apps for drawing, including SketchBook. I found Infinite Painter way above Sketch league, it has many many many feature,watch a video to get a feel of the available features.

Depending on what OS you have on your laptop you could try out DeX. It's called DeX on Windows, u need to install this app from Samsung on ur windows laptop. Once done, plug your phones to your pc and wait for DeX to start. You control DeX via mouse and keyboard of your laptop. Performance is low when connected this way, however it might give you a preview of what DeX can do.
I don't know too much about Microsoft products however for Image editing and video editing there are some apps, but depends what u need to do. There's no clear king among the apps I've tried and as a digital designer (i wanted photoshpp capabilities) I settled on Infinite Painter ( it's supported on DeX and has many features: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brakefield.painter). For video editing Adobe Rush does an ok job however it's missing some features that I found on KineMaster (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nexstreaming.app.kinemasterfree) including zooming on the timeline (it's tricky).
Lastly, as suggested, theres linux. Andronix app is the goto for me, it's paid for the modded version of the OS (which I recommend) but it's very cheap and it saves A LOT of trouble to setup your linux on DeX. There yout could install GIMP, some linux video editor and what not but it might be clumsy sharing files between Dex and Linux. (And I wouldn't trust it for work)
PS. Windows 10 on Dex it's a NONO, It might run but it's not usable. What I could recommend is Shadow PC, it's a streaming service that give u access to a windows 10 machine. It works really well for gaming (provided you have a decent connection) so it should work real smooth for office apps and the likes.
Like others have said - Inkscape. I've used it as a laser cutter for years on mac, windows, and linux machines (including the i7 Pixelbook I am using right now.)
But there is also Infinite Painter IS a vector editor, and supports the pen with no lag. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brakefield.painter&hl=en_US
That being said, you can get more bang for your buck with AMD based PC without the apple tax or Chrome OS limitations.
My favorites are
Infinite Painter which is very powerful https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brakefield.painter
ArtFlow https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bytestorm.artflow
I like Infinite Painter much more but some things are more a matter of personal preference. In my opinion it has the best brushes and tools, but especially the smudge tool is much better there. The dev is working on it since years and seems to be very passionate about it.
On my Note 8 with Infinite Painter :)
Here's the link if you're interested (also on iOS iirc): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brakefield.painter
Infinite Painter is incredible. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brakefield.painter
Created in the Infinite Painter app for Android. (Dharma wheel added afterward)

I hope that works? I cant remember how to make links just text lol.
Infinite Painter.

Thank you so much, that's such a great tip!
I used Infinite Painter, on a Samsung Tab A with S pen.
Infinite Painter is the closest thing to Photoshop I've found on Android.
I`ve tried countless painting apps on the Note, I also have an IPad with Procreate as a benchmark and so far the best 2 of them all are Infinte Painter, it has a really robust brush engine (very close to procreate`s engine prior to their last update), with crazy support for customization and a bunch of advanced tools like liquify, masking, multiple selection methods, etc, and Autodesk Sketchbook, much simpler but with a better-optimized response to the SPen, feeling a little bit less laggy and more natural (its a very small difference, but noticeable).
I usually use Sketchbook to, well, sketch, since it feels more 1 to 1 to paper and Infinite Painter to Paint, LineArt, and heavy edit stuff. You can get some serious awesome results with them.

The app I used is Infinite Painter:

Hardware-wise I used the Note 8 with the Spen.

Painted it on my Note 8 with the app, and it works awesome!
No problem! I used Infinite Painter on my Android tablet.
Infinite Painter is really nice and powerful
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brakefield.painter
You can try Infinite Painter
The only Android app I've used that is close to Photoshop in terms of functionality is Infinite Painter.
well, almost all known android drawing apps have the function of importing photos so I don't get why you still haven't found one.
Infinite Painter seems to be the most feature packed, and the most similar to Procreate for me (it's what I use). Second one is Artflow but I don't like the UI as much. Both of them aren't really free options though.
For something fully free, I suggest Autodesk Sketchbook.
Here's an example video of someone doing what you want to do, to help you get started!
It's the closest thing you'll get to a desktop image editor like Photoshop, but on your phone.
Infinite Painter does this and is the closest thing I've found to Photoshop for an android device.
Painter is the best drawing app, i paid for pro but its worth it, it has so many more features than other apps ive tried
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brakefield.painter
Infinite Painter is the closest you'll get to Procreate experience on Android in terms of functionality. It's got a very extensive toolset, options to upload your own brushes (as in, photoshop brush sets), and a ton of settings to customize and manipulate brushes/images in any way you want. (Limited free version, one-time payment to unlock everything) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brakefield.painter
I second Artflow, too. It's less advanced than IP, but still very impressive, and the overall design just feels a little smoother, and the learning curve is more user-friendly. (Limited free version, one-time payment to unlock everything) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bytestorm.artflow
Concepts app. Two words: endless canvas. It's actually more of a design app, but even the free version is great for rough sketching and drawing without ever bumping into the edge of your canvas to block your way to creativity. (Limited free v; various payment plans and options) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tophatch.concepts
Medibang is the best free drawing tool on the market. It's got loads of stuff and settings, and also convenient options for making digital comics (with frames and pages). I find the overall user experience a liitle bit clunky after years in IP and Artflow, but for a free tool MB is absolutely fantastic. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.medibang.android.paint.tablet
The one I'm using is the mobile version. It comes on iOS and Android. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brakefield.painter
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brakefield.painter
I can't find the second one that i'm using but here you go
Edit: i can't add images via gallery so you might wanna go to files
Thanks! That was done in Infinite Painter. It auto records the timelapse, which is nice.

I used a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 with the S-pen and this is the app I used:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brakefield.painter
IMHO.
Get the Samsung Tab A 10.1 w s-pen. They can be bought in the ~$300 range. By far the best value for a digital art creation tablet
Comes with built in a Wacom Pressure sensitive pen.
Install Infinite Painter the best painting app on Android with a full suite of photoshop-like tools.
To connect to your Mac or PC use Virtual Tablet
or
To connect to your Mac use Air Stylus
I hope this helps.
Used the Android app Infinite Painter to make it.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brakefield.painter
Probably the best that I've come across. Claims to have pressure sensitivity...somehow.
Thank you!! So glad you both like it!! :D I used Infinite Painter on Android to make it.
Try this app too - it can do layers:
absolutely!
