Apex Olira: Draw & Paint

Draw, paint and build comics — now on iPhone and iPad. Apex Olira is a raster drawing, painting and comic studio: brushes that feel like brushes, a full layer system, and a workspace that stays out of your way. Whether you're a professional illustrator, a comic or character artist, or just starting to learn digital art, you get a fast, focused canvas instead of a maze of menus. FREE TO START Draw, paint, letter and export with no account and no subscription. Apex Pro is a single one-time purchase that unlocks the full studio. No monthly fee, ever. DRAWING & PAINTING • 40+ brush engines and 47 stamps — pencil, ink, charcoal, watercolour, airbrush and more • Brush Studio — build your own brushes, or import brush packs you already own • Full layer system — folders, subfolders, blend modes, masks, alpha lock, and per-layer noise for realistic grain • GPU liquify, warp, perspective and gradient map — reshape artwork in real time • Magic wand and marquee selection — tap a region to select it, then draw inside it • A hardware-accelerated drawing core built for speed on large, multi-layer canvases COMICS, CHARACTERS & LETTERING • Tools tuned for line art, character design, manga and webtoon panels • Infinite, joinable canvas — join canvases into one scrolling book or long-form comic page • 10 bundled lettering fonts for titles, speech bubbles and logos • Character and perspective guides to build a pose or a panel before you commit a line SKETCHBOOKS Bind your artwork into a flipbook you can turn page by page. Choose the paper and the cover cloth, set the weight of the page, letter your own title and quote — then record the book turning and share the reel. ON iPAD — ARTWORK VERSION HISTORY The features in this section are available on iPad. • Your drawing keeps a running timeline of itself. Apex Olira saves a checkpoint as you work, and always takes one before a destructive step like a merge, a liquify or a flatten. • Milestones you name — pin any moment as Sketch, Lineart, Flats, Shading or Final. Pinned milestones never expire. • Idea paths — try a warm palette or a different face, take it as far as you like, then keep it or throw it away. Your main artwork is untouched either way. • Compare any two versions — slide between them, overlay them, or switch to Changes to see exactly what was added and what was erased, marked on the canvas. • Take layers across time — found a better version of one layer an hour ago? Bring just that layer forward. • Apple Pencil — full pressure and tilt sensitivity for natural, expressive line work. Whether you're sketching a quick concept on your phone, painting a finished illustration, or building your next comic from cover to cover, Apex Olira keeps the whole process in one canvas.
