Draw, mix, trace, count, and spot the differences with PixDraw! Explore six creative and learning modes in one playful studio. DRAW WITH YOUR FAVORITE TOOLS Choose from 11 tools, including pencil, brush, crayon, and spray. Try rainbow and sparkle brushes, six shapes, emoji stamps, and letter stamps. Pick from 20 colors and four brush sizes, then draw with your finger or Apple Pencil. DISCOVER NEW COLORS Choose two paints from 50 colors and adjust the amounts. Tap Mix to watch and hear them swirl together before the new color appears. Change the ratio to explore the result, or use your new color to draw. PRACTICE 46 HIRAGANA CHARACTERS Trace Japanese hiragana one stroke at a time, with numbered starting points, animated demonstrations, and Japanese pronunciation. Completed characters are saved on your device. PLAY WITH NUMBERS Tap objects to count, then try addition and subtraction. Choose numbers up to 5 or 10 and pick from three answers. Picture groups help you see what each number means. EXPLORE THE ALPHABET Discover all 26 uppercase and lowercase letters with pictures and words. Tap Letters to hear only the letter name, or Word to hear only the English word. Both controls are available in letter-finding quizzes, so you can replay exactly what you want to hear. SPOT THE DIFFERENCES Compare two pictures and find three differences in each of four scenes: Park, Ocean, Toys, and Space. Tap either picture to mark a difference. Use a hint when needed, with no timer or penalty for mistakes. KEEP YOUR ARTWORK Restore your drawing in progress, save creations to the local gallery, and export to Photos. Undo and redo make it easy to try something different. The fixed bomb at the top clears the paper in one tap, and Undo brings your artwork back. MAKE IT YOUR OWN Layouts adapt to the size and orientation of your iPhone, iPhone Duo, or iPad. Switch sound effects, pronunciation, and haptic feedback on or off separately. The interface follows your device's Japanese or English language setting. Hiragana pronunciation is Japanese; alphabet pronunciation is English. No ads, no in-app purchases, and no account required. Artwork and practice progress stay on your device. All six modes work offline.
