Tayasui Sketches
What it is
Tayasui Sketches is a digital drawing app designed to bring a paper-like feel to drawing. Its tools include pencil, acrylic, watercolor, airbrush, ink, and smudge brushes, plus color mixing, gradients, patterns, canvas rotation, and guides. Many tools adapt to Apple Pencil pressure, speed, orientation, and tilt. Pro features include unlimited layers, extra tool variations, an extended brush editor, wet watercolor, color palettes, and extra rulers. Cloud Sync backs up drawings to iCloud and synchronizes them between devices; the FAQ says this sync cannot be disabled as a measure against losing drawings. With a Pro purchase, drawings can be exported to other apps as PNG or layered PSD files. On iPad, multitasking supports opening two apps and dragging layers and documents between them. Sketches is available on Android, iOS, and macOS. Its free version costs nothing, while Pro features require a separate one-time purchase at a price not listed. The platform versions require separate purchases, and drawings cannot sync between them. Documents are limited to 12 MB, equivalent to 6000×2000 pixels; Android does not include rulers or drawing orientation changes.
