SaturnDraw is a drawing, sketching and painting app with a real brush engine: a library of brushes, paper grain that reacts to every stroke, layers with blend modes, and a timelapse of your art. Made for phone and tablet, with pressure-sensitive stylus support. Free to download, no account needed, works offline.
DRAW ON REAL PAPER
Pick your sheet – smooth, plain, watercolor, torchon, laid, sandpaper, canvas, newsprint, honeycomb, kraft – in white, cream, black, midnight blue, forest green, purple or any custom color. The grain belongs to the paper: pencil, charcoal and pastel catch on the ridges and leave the valleys white, like dry media on a real sheet.
BRUSHES FOR EVERY STYLE
Packs for sketching, ink, watercolor, painting, digital art, manga, comics, lettering, concept art, nature, texture, patterns, party and sewing. Graphite pencils, charcoal, conté, ballpoint, fineliner, brush pen, G pen, sumi-e, markers, highlighter, airbrush, gouache, oil, impasto and watercolor. Wet paint picks up the color already on the paper and mixes as you drag, and watercolor dries with the darker edge of a real wash. Adjust size, opacity and stabilizer for any brush, search by name, and reach your recent brushes in one tap.
TOOLS
• Brush, eraser, fill bucket, smudge and blur
• Lasso selection: move, scale, rotate, distort, flip
• Shapes: line, rectangle, ellipse
• Text tool with fonts, weights, letter spacing, line height, outline and shadow – import your own fonts; the type stays editable until you rasterize it
• Color wheel, swatches, saved colors and eyedropper
• Stabilizer for clean lines, pinch to zoom and rotate, mirror the screen to check proportions
• Stylus-only mode, so a resting hand won't draw
LAYERS
• Blend modes: Multiply, Screen, Overlay, Soft Light, Color Dodge and more
• Opacity, lock transparency, clipping masks
• Folders, multi-select, merge, duplicate, reorder
• Transform a whole layer, import a photo as a layer
GUIDES
• Square, isometric and perspective grids with movable vanishing points
• Assist mode snaps your stroke to the nearest line
• Ruler and symmetry: vertical, horizontal, four-way and radial with adjustable sectors and tilt
• Reference window: a photo floating over the paper, with opacity, mirror and always-on-top
CANVAS
Square, 4:5 post, 9:16 story, 3:4, 16:9 and A4 at 300 dpi, ready to print. Normal (2048 px) or 4K (4096 px). Start blank, from a ready-made background, or from a photo from your gallery or camera.
TIMELAPSE
Every drawing can record itself stroke by stroke. Export an MP4 in the original frame, 9:16 or 1:1, choose the pace and hold the finished drawing at the end – ready for Reels, TikTok and Shorts.
EXPORT AND SHARE
PNG, JPG, WebP and PDF. Export at 1x, 2x or 4x, with or without margin, with a transparent background, or every layer as a separate file. Share straight to WhatsApp, Instagram, TikTok, Telegram and more.
CLOUD BACKUP
Sign in with Google and your drawings – layers and all – come back on a new phone or a lost one. Your first drawings are backed up for free. Automatic backup when you close a drawing, a Wi‑Fi only switch, sync across devices and one-tap restore.
TABLET
On a tablet SaturnDraw becomes a studio: brushes, layers and tool settings in panels beside the paper, a history slider to scrub back through your strokes, and an immersive mode that hides everything but the drawing.
Translated into dozens of languages. Whether you sketch, ink manga, paint in watercolor, do lettering or just doodle, SaturnDraw is your digital sketchbook.
