This App will make you fall in love with drawing again! - Matt Busch

Innovative Approach

The right tools.

Three custom layers allow you to efficiently switch between the types of tools that are most useful. Draw loosely and plan your work in the "Sketch Layer". Enjoy precise control of line and value in the "Detail Layer" to make highlights and intricate details shine. Enjoy a unique "Tone Layer" that makes smooth shading easy and fun! Each layer's visibility can be toggled on and off.

Side by side.

Whether you are using your own photo or a tutorial, split-view allows you to use reference in a unique way, side by side. Pan and zoom to focus on detail and both the drawing and reference area stay perfectly in sync! This is perfect for artists who like to draw from reference without being forced to trace.

Intuitive full-screen mode.

But when you do want to trace... swipe the binder over to get a full page mode where you can trace over your reference to get proportions picture perfect. Or enjoy full-screen mode with the reference layer toggled off to focus on your detail while maximizing the iPad's work surface.

Endless real estate.

You'll never run out of pages. All your art can be backed up. And with an undo and redo function you can explore being more creative without ruining your drawing or wasting paper. Like a traditional sketchbook, the Interactive Sketchbook is portable and always ready when inspiration strikes.
