INCREDIBLE!

This is literally the most amazing thing on the planet of apps-i use it to do all my drawing-everyone who I recommend it too loves it-it’s so customisable and cute!!!Few suggestions:A bit more customising-with the pens,or the selections of colours,inserting photos-and more flexibility when using the blade,resizing,flipping.But other than this,It is absolutely PERFECT!!! Chefs kiss.

Good app, could do with a little more personality

I really love the idea of this app. The idea of focusing on one thing with such a minimal UI is just… nice. It looks like it just uses the basic iPad pen tools which is a shame. I would have really enjoyed a nice brush engine with a small selection of tools. Maybe add in some sound effects (as a setting) and you could really make this into something where people can focus purely on the drawing. Also I love the default colours provided btw

I love this drawing app❤️

It’s a great and simple app to do when you get tired of the more complicated apps but I have one request can you please make it to where you can take off and on the little dots cause they get on my nerves when the appear out of no where thank you 😊❤️❤️❤️💕

Awesome

This is an awesome drawing app they pretty much have everything you need.I would love it if they had the colour brown and if there was a tool to make a perfect circle other than that I love it soooo much

Hey where are the new brushes

Cant find them :( I still like charcoal :’)👍 edit: It seems like the new tools are only available for ios 16 and above. :((

Needs updated

This is a really nice app. But it needs updated. In fact, it hasn’t been updated in about a year.

Good game but um yeah

So I realised I made a mistake on my scheck but I have already did my next scketch ( my making a set of cats) so I went back to fix it but after I fixed it my other sketch I just finished it was gone and was replaced with the other cat I just fixed my mistake on so yeah it’s good app like it’s got no adds but WHERES BROWNNNNN

Eh not feeling it

So I am a gullible person and loving giving raging reviews to people but this game is just soo bad. If you want a thicker colour instead of pressing the thicker colour button you have to go faster which doesn't make sense because why is the button there? Also the tools aren’t amazing so it’s hard to draw a goodish piece of art. It would be a good sketching app but as a normal art one? No.

Four Stars - Two Missing Things

The app is amazing in every way except two, with the colour wheel / selector we should be able to choose the hex code ourselves because that is easier than trying to use the slider, also having the eye dropper tool to select a colour on the page would be useful because sometimes I can’t find the right colour after mixing lots of different watercolour/highliters together. Other than those two things this app is amazing!

Perfect little doodle pad

I’ve had this sitting idle on my iPad and iPod Touch for some time then one day started using it again and now it’s my favourite drawing app. What might first be seen as a limited range of options has, for me, become its best feature, instead of spending time trying to chose the right size or colour I just go with what’s available and concentrate on creating.I can draw cartoons on my iPod and have even started drawing a comic strip and the unobtrusive grid is great for keeping my lettering consistent.

Simple and perfect

This is exactly what I was looking for: a simple quick drawing app with the basic tools.

Charcoal’s review!

Hi guys sup, so I go to the library and study and I needed a doodling app, so Charcoal came to be a life saver. I like don’t have a BF (boyfriend) or a GF (girlfriend) so if you have one and you are 2 years old I can tell you that you will grow up to you know, make some babies, so anyway I spend my time studying and doodling because my 3 sisters are all somewhat annoying, especially my sister Rose ew… She’s pink.. So if you live underwater and happen to know her just break up with her. I trust you to listen to my voice. So anyway this app is cool, and me and Rose had a challenge of who could draw Rose better and of course I won because I am experienced!
Bye guys this is MEEEEE signing off!!!

Simple but solid

If you open the color palette screen and then try to close it, the entire app freezes until you force close.
Apart from that, it’s a simple and solid sketch app. Gets the job done with no clutter, no ads, just the sketching.
Not a ton of tools, but if you just need a simple canvas to jot notes or sketch a diagram, it’s excellent. I’m using it to plan video game map layouts before attempting to create them in software.

I don’t hate it tho!

I hate that when you erase it it does it mean like you have to erase the whole thing it’s like I want to erase some stuff but not the whole thing and please pretty please put some more markers in so you can like get it more bigger please

solid, but

the delete now button doesn’t work the first time, and it shouldn’t be in a dropdown menu in the first place. it should be hold, delete button, the end

Good basic sketch program

Does what i want, nothing fancy but with a bit of practise a good artist could create some great sketches. Its free, no adds and no data collection.
I really like it, its fun.

i LOVE this app

i love this app and i dont recall any bugs but there is this one small problem that is uncomfterble its the double click for drawing but aside from the thing ITS WONDERFUL THIS APP

Perfect pad for a Pro who needs a quick fix

Pencil pressure, color palettes, simplicity are all fine tuned to just what’s needed when I don’t want to pull a whole drawing suite up. Ty

Great work!

As advertised - very easy to use. The developer knows what she’s doing. The latency for strokes is very low! I did encounter a bug where the thumbnail image did not correspond to the file. Let me know if you need a tester!
