Everything is on the screen, but it doesn’t feel cluttered or overwhelming. Pros: SketchBook has lots of great pens/pencils/brushes allow for a fun drawing experience. SketchBook offers easy access to all of the drawing tools and program options in simple to use side panels. It’s a great all-in-one app that provides a lot of functionality. SketchBook is a nice app that I loved for coloring. This new app combines Adobe Draw and Adobe Fresco, and Doctor T wrote a step-by-step Adobe Fresco tutorial to cover the basics. Update: Since the time of publication of this review, Adobe has launched a new drawing app, Adobe Fresco. I found that I enjoyed drawing sketches more in Adobe Sketch with the pencil, but I enjoyed the Adobe Draw app more for coloring the designs. I also really enjoyed how simple it was to use – it was very intuitive to import an image, add a sketch layer, and start drawing.Ĭons: As with Adobe Draw, this app also has very few brush types available, and again I found that I really only liked using two or three of them to create the My Body Model sketches.

On the plus side, I think this app had the best “pencil” brush of everything I tried – the response to the pressure sensitivity of the Apple Pencil was fantastic.

Because this is not a vector program, the quality does not scale with the zoom. Pros: This app has the same benefits as the Adobe Draw program, with the exception of the cleanliness of the images. This program creates less sharp, “sketchy” style images.Īdobe Sketch is very similar to Adobe Draw, but has tools like pencils and watercolors to create a much softer image. I really only found two that I liked to use in this app, and the resulting images will all have the same inked appearance.Ĭost: Free, or incorporates with Adobe Suite with a paid subscription.Īdobe Sketch is another free app for the iPad, and can be seen as a companion to Adobe Draw. Layers are great for adding depth to the drawings, or playing with mixing and matching garment pieces.Ĭons: Very few brush types available. This is great for working with the My Body Model images that have more than 4 forms to a page. It can import and export many image types, and works with vector images, so it has extremely sharp quality, even when zoomed in very close. Pros: Adobe Draw is very simple to work with, and visually very clean, which allows you to focus on the drawing, not the app. It is very intuitive to use and creates very clean designs. The Adobe Draw app has a very simple layout with only a few brush options. It creates very sharp, clear images and can create a bold, eye-catching plan. Adobe DrawĪdobe Draw is a free vector drawing app for the iPad, which has the expected Adobe quality. While I’ve made many of the in-app purchases for the apps I know I will be using a lot in the future, I was able to create designs and plans without needing to purchase any of these added features. Most of the “free” apps have in-app purchases that unlock additional features, but I don’t think any of these apps require those purchases to be made to have the app be “worth it” to use.

Free Apps for Fashion Drawing Being fairly new to digital art, I went on a quest to find my favorite apps for drawing on My Body Model custom croquis to create my digital wardrobe plans. While I love the feel and process of working on paper, I’m finding that I increasingly enjoy working in a digital format, and this is amplified with the precision of the Apple Pencil.
