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.
