Could you build this?
Partial The UI and file handling are standard, but a convincing painting app needs a high-performance brush engine, low-latency stylus input, and palm rejection tuned to Android hardware, which vibe coding alone won't deliver.
What it would actually take: Build a native Android app in Kotlin with a GPU-accelerated canvas (OpenGL or Vulkan), a layered document model, and a brush engine with pressure and tilt response. The hard parts are input latency and palm rejection across device-specific stylus APIs such as S Pen, which needs graphics and Android input-stack expertise plus testing on many devices.
