iCharcoal: Sketch & Draw

Soft, smudgy charcoal on paper, wood and concrete. Build up tone, then smear it with your finger like the real thing. Translucent layers that build up as you work, streaky grain, and a smudge tool that moves charcoal instead of piling more on: light marks stay light, and edges soften the way they do on paper. TOOLS • Vine Charcoal, Charcoal Pencil and Compressed Block, each in three sizes • Smudge Stump to blend and smear tone • Kneaded Eraser and Hard Eraser to lift marks and pull out highlights • Show or hide the tool bar any time to keep the whole canvas in view CREATE • Mirror what you draw: left-right, top-bottom, four-way or radial (3 to 8 points) for mandalas and snowflakes • Apple Pencil: pressure and tilt change the mark, your palm is ignored, and a double tap swaps to the eraser and back • Mix any colour with the system colour picker, or pick one from anywhere on screen with the eyedropper; your colours are kept BACKGROUNDS • Fourteen built-in surfaces: sketchbook, kraft paper, wood, concrete, brick, sidewalk, blueprint, sand, tile and more, in high resolution • Or take a photo, or choose one from your Photos, and sketch on top of it STENCILS • Circle, square, triangle, star and heart, ready to use • Type any letters, numbers or punctuation to make your own lettering stencil • Move, resize and rotate a stencil, flip it inside out, hide its outline, and come back to edit it later • Charcoal stays inside the stencil so edges come out clean, or switch it to a guide and draw anywhere SHARE • Export as a full-resolution image or a transparent PNG, save to Photos or Files, or share • Time-lapse video: preview how your drawing came together, then share it • Undo and redo • Your drawings are saved to the in-app gallery • Works with VoiceOver, in light and dark appearance, with gentle haptics • Messages extension: draw and send without leaving the conversation • No account, no ads, no sign-up Made by Far Edge Studio.
