Tayasui Sketches - Art Drawing

I like it very much, so many nice features!

new update is very useful!

Really great app! So easy to use.

This app used to be my absolute favorite. But now I can’t scroll through my saved drawings at all without the app freezing and crashing. I’m really sad about it.

I don’t typically write reviews, but just wanted to put this here in hopes that it gets solved. I’ll start by saying I’ve loved sketches and used it for nearly five years! I’ve illustrated multiple children’s picture books using it as my primary software and I still find it to be incredibly intuitive while also powerful and nuanced enough to allow me to experiment creatively without losing access to the tried and true heart of what I initially loved and rely on for my work. When it works well, it’s hands down bar none my go-to. That said, since about a year ago it’s been glitching terribly often and crashing / freezing up. My iPad has plenty of space and is a recent model pro, and I always make sure the app is up to date. I am so sad to say that this crashing and glitching has, at times, caused me to lose work / have to restart compositions in progress. Unfortunately, unless these glitches are fixed, I’ve decided I’ll be switching to Procreate as I move forward in my work. Sketches is the perfect blend of power and simplicity, and if it happens to become sound and stable again I hope to be able to switch back.

I cannot find any of my prior work on my device or in iCloud. I do not like the default iCloud back up or explanation that it exists for my "protection." This makes me very angry. Why complicate? We are not ALL computer-geeks, nor do we wish to become experts on every possible 'thing.' How many user id / password / special requirements...what changed THIS TIME ? / what just happened that I did not intend ? This program is one among many that I use. Too much time is spent on housekeeping because of what the APP-Geeks did... because they could... not because it of a functional necessity. Enough is enough ... go make something NEW if you are bored or need job security. That would be great. Let me use the APP and love it... Martha in Tallahassee FL

well I love this app a lot. it’s so easy and fun to work with. only thing is that like, sometimes when your in the middle of a drawing, it will randomly close the app and just take you to your home screen. then, when you go back to your work, it will be like, either half started over, or it restarts the whole thing. it it SO ANNOYING. otherwise LUV this app.

The longer I use this app, the more glitches pop up. I recently reported a glitch where an entire square cell of my drawing will spontaneously go completely blank on one layer - and never comes back, no matter what I do. Now I have a new glitch — I can only draw straight lines, unless I move the tool very slowly, in which case the tool mark lags about a half-inch behind where my pen is touching the screen, and as soon as I stop moving the pen, or try to change direction, the last segment of the tool mark automatically goes straight. This would be great if I only drew straight lines, but I don’t. THIS GLITCH AFFECTS EVERY TOOL, EVEN IN NEW DOCUMENTS

5 full stars. Love this app [Tayasui Sketches Pro] since first download in 2020 [i think] is my [“other’] art creation application , i work on iPad Pro 2018 11 inch w the iPad Pro pencil. I very much enjoy the “realistic” sketchbooks SketchesPro features. The feel is like a set of watercolor books, this is so nice , having the separate “books” helps keep selections of drawings separate like i would in my sketchbooks whether the art is layered or not. I also keep different books synched across cloud or remain downloaded/ uploaded to various other places. The sounds are very pleasant, and yet the actual mechanics of drawing itself is never “gimmicky” nor do they take the back seat to anything. The water color is beautifully textured if [ one does make the purchase] and realistic. There are papered textures , export /import functions the ink pens and honesty of each tool stands alone on its own. The joy of digital is that any realistic tool can be used in a hyper-realistic way , this just depends upon ones imagination. Rather than keep with the explanation I would say to anyone reading , to watch the several videos the app has provided on their site from various artists . I definitely believe its sure is worth download and purchase - however the testimonials on both Apple store and the app page has FAQ’s which are rlly fantastic. Thank you so very much! RMS

Most frustrating drawing app I’ve ever used.
