How to use

  • This was built with the iPad + Apple Pencil as the first target so that's the best experience
  • You should Add to Home Screen and use from there since otherwise it'll zoom in / scroll when interacted with
  • Exporting an image will export the drawing region & current pallet as well, so long as you don't put the .png file through anything that'll remove metadata you should be able to use it to save & resume / use the same palette for multiple images
  • Draw within the top canvas in
  • Undo will keep up to 100 changes

Known Issues

  • The pattern editor can be a bit glitchy, usually it'll fix itself but it can get confused and think you're clicking things you're not.

Roadmap

  • Allow exported images to be named
  • Better support for non-Apple Pencil styluses / screensizes
  • Add Masking tool to support the opacity channel (will allow creation of non-fullscreen assets)
  • Add Masking support to palettes (e.g. allow transparent pixels)
  • Add tool for doing dithering, similar to a "smudge" tool, will swap random pixels within the radius of your touch
  • Support the opening of images from outside DrawDate & provide some greyscale transformation options
  • Add a better way to save palettes
