Tayasui Sketches
Tayasui Sketches is a digital drawing app for Android, iOS, and macOS, designed to make drawing resemble work on paper. Brushes include pencil, acrylic, watercolor, airbrush, ink, and smudge, with many tools responding to Apple Pencil pressure, speed, orientation, and tilt. The app also offers color mixing, gradients, patterns, canvas rotation, guides, and an iPad sidebar. Pro features add unlimited layers, extra tool variations, an extended brush editor, wet watercolor, palettes, and extra rulers. Cloud Sync backs up drawings to iCloud and synchronizes them between devices; the FAQ says this sync cannot be disabled. Pro enables PNG and layered PSD export to other apps. On iPad, two apps can be opened together and layers or documents dragged between them. The free version costs nothing; Pro is a separate one-time purchase with no listed price. Each platform version requires a separate purchase, and drawings cannot sync across versions.
