Original release notes
Quickdraw 1.2 comes to iPhone. • Built for one hand. A Dial and a tray hold Pieces, Draw, Color, Layers and Edit, so your fingers never cover the paper. • The same pens as the iPad. Steady hand is a slider, textures live behind the sliders icon, and the Rake draws several lines at once. • Pieces and Sacred shapes, a Recent row, your own backdrops, and Surprise me for a quick start. • Cut and Feather your photos, add Text, and set up the paper with guides, dots and a border. • Tap Rotate to turn a piece 45 degrees, or Resize to make it 25% larger. Drag when you want it exact. • Present hides everything but the paper. • Gallery with folders. Select several pieces to move them or save them to Photos, and print any piece from its menu. • Learn shows short videos for each skill, in English and Spanish. • Big pictures open faster and no longer restart the app when you add a layer. • Autosave shows a small dot on Done, so you always know your work is safe. No experience necessary. Mistakes welcomed. On iPad: Art School stays as it is, and drawing, saving and the gallery are faster and steadier. Art School is iPad only.
