Need to be able to save colors
Yes, it’s uncomplicated. It has a pencil and eraser, color picker, black and white, undó and redo, save and delete. What it doesn't have is the ability to select a color on the paper or the ability to save colors- at least afaict. It’s strange not to have those because they simulate colored pencils - not oils or acrylic, where it's almost a given that the artist will mix paints and produce shades that aren't in the box. I can blend pencils, too, but I can also reach into my tray of Prismacolor pencils and pull out a specific color. Not here. Here, I have to guess or approximate what I used 7 layers previously. Whoops! No layers either?
Granted, this has good pressure sensitivity, but in so many other ways, Apple’s Markup can do so much more, even if I only use the pencil and none of the other tools.
Super the best
It is the best. I wish i could use the ipad storage or to use the icloud storage so I could keep a copy. Please?
Great for storyboarding!
Love this app.
Totally underrated - been using for years
Like procreate is fun. But this is just right all the time without a bunch of options to clutter up your idea. I’ve sat on the train here in Japan sketching people. It’s fantastic
Amazing for sketching
Continues to be the best app for sketching and now it is so much more, if you want it to be. The marks are very similar to using charcoal without the mess.
I have used this app for years and have tried many many others including the ones promoted by Apple. None get close to matching this one for sketching. With a limited set of tools you get excellent results and do not get bogged down in all the unnecessary options in more complicated apps.
I hope the dev keeps this app working for many more years It is simply exquisite.
Amazing!
I love it!
It’d be cool to have layers and maybe a solid brush but eh. The simplicity works.
New review
I couldn’t alter my previous review but I want to state that I love this app. You can open it quickly to get your idea down and I like the quality of the brushstroke. The only reason that I didn’t give it 5 stars is because it’s taken so long to get a reply to my question. A stupid question, yes, but some of us just can’t slow down to figure technology out😆
Nice but
Difficult to swipe upward to access tools.
Fun app
Good stuff all around.
Easy to learn fascinating to use
keep this app simple. I barely use the color option. If you draw this is an great app. I show this to every artist I know. It’s not drawing exactly the lines I put down. There is a wonderful aspect that’s unexpected but fascinating. fun. And simple without a million menus and choices.
