Description

A painting app for all artists, whether you’re experienced or just starting out.
Perfect for creating beautiful works of art or a quick sketch whenever you have a burst of inspiration.
You can also try out ideas and compositions before starting on a new painting in real life, or practise and refine your skills, all without the added cost of art supplies.

• LIFELIKE PASTEL SIMULATION •
The app features live-calculated brushes and strokes, making a realistic pastel simulation possible.
Painting tools include soft pastels, oil pastels, pastel pencils, smudge tool, and more.

• REALISTIC PAPER/CANVAS TEXTURES •
When creating a new picture, a unique, non-repeating paper texture is generated that will interact in real-time with the live-calculated strokes you paint.
You can change the default-generated texture to, for example, canvas, which goes great with oil pastels!

• PRECISE COLOR BLENDING •
When painting, especially with soft pastels, use Smudge or the Cotton Swab to blend and smoothen the colors right on the paper, as you would in real life.
With oil pastels, in addition to smudging, the blending is often done by the pastel sticks themselves (for best results, reduce the force or use a similar or lighter color).

• APPLE SILICON •
Native support for Apple Silicon.

• UNIVERSAL PURCHASE •
If you choose to buy the Pro upgrade, this one-time in-app purchase will unlock all Pro features in the app on all available platforms (Mac-iPad-iPhone)!

• METAL •
The engine is based on Metal, with 128-bit color and floating-point arithmetic.

• SWIFT •
The app was developed entirely using Swift (earlier versions used C++).

• FULL SCREEN PAINTING • SEAMLESS PATTERN EDITING MODE •
• DARK MODE • TOUCH BAR SUPPORT • WIDE COLOR •
• MULTIPLE LAYERS • PHOTO TRACING MODE (Pro feature) •

𝔾𝕣𝕖𝕒𝕥 𝕓𝕦𝕥 𝕙𝕒𝕣𝕕

When I first got this app it was really fun I made something and it was really cute and then it got hard making more cute stuff because I watch me more cute stuff that were even cuter it’s easy to make the first thing then it is to make the other stuff because if you make some things that’s cool and cute it’s gonna be hard but if you like make a color mixed together and you had sunglasses and cat ears it’s really hard so just make the cool stuff Wall it easy because then you’re not gonna be able to do it

It’s A Great App!

I’ve always enjoyed sketching even though I’m not good at drawing. I usually use markers and colored pencils. I’ve been looking for a digital sketching / drawing / painting program or app for quite a while... tried some and ended up not using them. I found iPastels and it’s the app I’ve been looking for. It’s easy to understand the tools and options. The price is a bargain even for the upgrade to the pro version. This is my go to sketching app. Give it a try and iPastels will be your go to app as well.
