About this app

Using pens and pencils the program enables creating calligraphic prints and drawings. The toolbar is easy to use – tools are on a transparent background and don’t block up your screen.

4 sorts of pencil:
- A simple pen (line thickness remains constant)
- Pen (line thickness depends on the movement speed)
- Thin pencil (line thickness depends on the movement direction – press simulation)
- Wide pencil

There are settings such as color, line thickness, and transparency for each tool.
Slope angle settings of the wide pencil are from 0 up to 90 degrees.
For the thin pencil up to 360 degrees.
You can open your image and photo.

Your drawings can be saved for the further processing.

Ratings and reviews

This is the closest thing I've found to that older (now defunct) app by Adobe; sketch. Love this app for its simplicity, accuracy, comprehension, & detail. The default settings are already a perfectly sized blank canvas & it works for any/all settings when you pinch-zoom. I also enjoyed that the Pen stays relative to size when you zoom. All essential presets easy to locate, super clean layout & easy to navigate interface for the advanced or first time digital artist. back or erase with ease. 5/5

This is a beautiful, simplistic, and we'll made app. While it was not what I was looking for, if you have experience writing calligraphy and you are seeking an app that lets you properly write it out, free hand, with multiple color & design options for both ink and background, this is the app for you. If you are looking for something to convert regular text into calligraphy, like I was, it is not.

easy to use with a great variety of ways to customize your lettering and drawings. very "real" feel with the touch sensitive pens. i recently started practicing caligraphy about a year ago and this is a great tool to get my technique down for diff font styles without having to spend money on expensive pens and wasting paper. plus its cool that you can save your creations and apply them elsewhere. very easy to use and wont take you long to figure out just by doodling and changing pens & backdrops
