Cob Paint is a pixel art sketchbook that paints like the real thing. Stop overthinking and draw something now. A custom engine makes every stroke feel instant, made for perfectly imperfect artwork. Sketches come out soft, warm and personal. Real materials, in pixels. Watercolour pools and spreads across the page. Tilt your phone to move the water as it dries, or blow into the mic to dry it faster. Paint with plain water to soften edges, blend colours and lift dried paint. Gouache, chalk and pencil each behave like the real thing, and every tool has its own story, from the familiar mechanical pencil to a chunky Japanese eraser. A focused palette. A small set of colours keeps you making art instead of fiddling with tools. Mix any colour you need in the mixing tray, or hold your finger still on the page to pick up any colour you see. Little shortcuts. Draw a line, circle or rectangle and keep holding: it snaps into a clean shape. Spin the wheel to change brush size. Paint with Apple Pencil and move around with a finger. Watch it come to life. Every page records each stroke as you paint. Play your painting back in 15 seconds, 2 minutes or real time, then save the video or send it to a friend. Your sketchbook. Keep every painting in a leather-bound book, each one a tall, wide or square card. Paint upright or sideways on iPhone and iPad, in light or dark. Now go make something and share it.
