TAYASUI SKETCHES IPAD PRO FREE

You can try a free version and if you like it buy the “Pro” version (a one-off payment when I bought it). I would recommend this app for the beginning digital artist. No layers, no toggling opacity, only three width settings per tool.

The number of tools and settings is very limited.

You could try the free version and see if it’s working for you. Given that there are good alternatives that offer one-off payment option, I am not sure if the subscription model is worth it for new users.

The free version is limited, the paid version is (alas) a subscription model for that you get cloud storage of your work (fwiw).

Intuitive interface, with few tools that are well-chosen (though the watercolor tool is not convincing, the markers and the pencils work best).

In spite of these clear limitations, I enjoy this software and it is very intuitive to use. Mixing colors is very intuitive, almost like using an actual palette. Leaning the pencil on its side gives a nice blending effect.

However, you can change the width of the tool by changing pressure on your stylus (if pressure sensitive) or by adjusting the speed of drawing (for a dummy stylus). You cannot change the opacity, this is set by default for each tool (e.g., the pen has 100% opacity, the marker has lower opacity). Even the subscription version offers only three width settings per tool. The free version only has one width setting per tool. There’s a pen, a marker, two fixed-width pens, a filler tool, a cut and paste tool, that’s it. Conceived as a quick sketchbook, it has no layers (you can cheat by taking a screenshot of a drawing, then entering that into a next painting to create an extra layer, but that’s it).

This is undoubtedly the simplest, but also most limited digital art app. I’m just listing three popular apps, the easiest and most straightforward first. If you have an iPad and stylus, you can look for a suitable app.

My background: I am not a professional artist, I’ve made drawings for fun for a long time, both digitally and non-digitally. Which one to use depends on which iPad you have.įourth, you can easily and quickly share electronic artwork on social media, such as Instagram, Tumblr, … and some software has dedicated communities where members share their art, such as Tayasui.įor these reasons, I think people who start to draw, especially adults, may just as well start digitally. Two Apple Styluses, first generation (top), and second generation (bottom). Check out which one is compatible with your model of iPad (note, old models like the iPad 2 do not work with Pencil, in which case you need to resort to a more traditional stylus). Both the first and second generation work well. The only things you really need, beside an iPad, are drawing software and a stylus (it is worth investing in a pressure-sensitive one). Third, provided you already have a tablet, you don’t need to buy all sorts of expensive art supplies. This is possible with non-digital art, but it’s not as easy. Second, layers allow a great deal of flexibility for your artwork, for example, you can make a quick sketch in pencil, then you paint or ink and remove the sketch. Making mistakes is very common, and electronic drawing allows you to go back and undo the mistake, which is trickier with non-electronic drawings. If that’s the case, starting to draw or paint on the iPad offers several advantages.įirst, there is the option to undo. Maybe you’ve never seriously made drawings or paintings. It’s just to help people who are looking for something creative and enjoyable that you can do at home. The idea is not to try to help you to optimize time spent at home, or anything like that.

I’ve put together a quick guide on how to learn to draw on the iPad as it may be helpful to some people. Many of us have to stay at home and practice social distancing. I’m writing this in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic. Calli the polar bear, watercolor and pen, Tayasui Sketches
