Key Features:
Craft a Sketchbook and open a custom drawing interface!
Drawing Tools: Craft a pencil and eraser to draw! (There's no joy without them...)
Advanced Canvas: The drawing interface allows you to change your brush size, adjust the pencil hardness and even rotate or drag the sketchbook around your screen for maximum comfort.
Tear & Share: Proud of your masterpiece? Tear the page right out of your sketchbook! The torn page becomes a separate item that preserves your drawing, complete with a custom tooltip showing a thumbnail of your art
Additional Tools: You can use ruler, drawing compass, etc. to enhance your precision!
