Not a bad drawing app.

I’ve been using Fresco for about… 6 months. And it has a wide variety of tools to select from. My only complaint is that it WILL NOT let me download my artworks unless I make an adobe account (why man? Ibis Paint didn’t need that)

Perfect

Perfect… just perfect… literally perfect

Pay to access former work

They deleted my local work when my college account expired. Psycho to remove a users access to their own work they’ve done locally
