If you have a tablet and creativity, then using these apps, you can while away the time drawing masterpieces of digital art. It is more convenient to do this with a stylus, but in most cases, with a little practice, you can draw something very beautiful with your finger.
Paper
A real whiteboard for notes, drawings and photos with export to PDF or Keynote and PowerPoint presentations. The set of tools in Paper is not as large as in other applications, but they are all implemented almost perfectly. You can create various notebooks and keep task lists or sketches in them - all in one place and always at hand. All popular styluses are supported, including the Apple Pencil.
The application is completely free, monetization through the sale of stylus.
Tayasui sketches
Favorite drawing of all artists creating content using tablets. The Tayasui Sketches also sells a special stylus, however, it is quite possible to do without it.
Everything you need for professional painting is here: layers, a brush editor, a color eyedropper, export of individual layers and backups. You can create with 20 realistic tools with easy control and access. The interface adjusts to the current mode and does not interfere at all during drawing.
The app is available for free, but with a basic set of tools. The rest are offered to be purchased as needed.
Autodesk SketchBook
The mobile version of Autodesk SketchBook is almost as good as the desktop one. It is a smart drawing and sketching tool that boasts a sophisticated processing engine for smoother strokes and a natural drawing experience. For advanced users, there is a layer editor with 16 blending modes, pressure sensitivity, as well as symmetry and proportional transformation tools.
Autodesk has taken care not only of the convenience of creating content, but also of its storage: for organizing sketches, there is a built-in gallery, albums, and even integration with Dropbox. Not all Pro features are available in the free version, you will have to pay extra for them.
Adobe illustrator draw
Another drawing from an eminent developer, and this, in addition to high quality, means integration with the proprietary ecosystem. With vector format support and advanced layering, Illustrator Draw lets you create stunning illustrations. The toolbar can be customized to your liking, and ready-made projects can be exported in any convenient form. For real artists, there is support for popular styluses, including the Apple Pencil.
Procreate
An application for professionals, created with all their needs in mind. With it, you can create both the most complex images and simple sketches. Procreate has over 120 different brushes, gigantic resolution (up to 16K × 4K) and an exclusive layer rendering engine optimized specifically for 64-bit iOS devices. There are over 30 customizable parameters for each of the 128 brushes, and the history stores a whopping 250 steps for undo and redo operations. 64-bit color, autosave, cinematic effects and more. This is truly a tool for the most demanding!
