Comic Draw
What it is
Comic Draw is an iPad app for creating comics and cartoons, with tools for scripting, drawing, inking, lettering and publishing. Its SmartScript editor recognizes script elements as you type and lets you move script text onto comic pages. The app includes 34 customizable brushes, and users can create new brushes. Pages can use multiple adjustable perspective guides with perspective snapping. A panel tool arranges pages with configurable gutter width, while lettering tools include customizable balloons, caption boxes, title elements and over 130 fonts. Finished comics can be exported as Comic Draw files, PDF, ePub, JPG or PNG, and shared through standard iOS options, including AirDrop and iCloud Drive. Comic Draw can also publish to Comic Connect, where readers can follow creators and receive notifications about new work. The Basic app supports viewing and sharing; an in-app purchase unlocks full editing. A 14-day trial is listed. The app requires a 64-bit capable iPad, such as iPad Air or newer, and iOS 9.1 or later. Comic Draw for Schools does not include Comic Connect publishing.
