This issue is a Digital Sketching edition for the design savvy people on your list. Discover these sketching apps available for iPad on Apple’s App Store!

1. Procreate

Only available on iPad, Procreate created by Savage Interactive, has take then the digital sketching scene by storm. At a one-time purchase of $9.99, the app allows users to sketch and illustrate to drawing right on imported 3D objects. This app is our studio’s favorite due to the easy editing and creating brushes for specific textile patterns and stitching!

2. Morpholio Trace

Designed by Architects and used by architects and interior designers, Morpholio Trace is an iPhone and iPad app that allows users to utilize a traditional trace paper for a perspective approach. We personally love the digital super ruler interface and custom Title Block application for exporting documents to clients! There is a free trial available as well as a yearly subscription option.

3. Sketchbook

Sketchbook, originally developed by Autodesk, is a highly versatile app that is available for free on macOS, iOS, Android and Microsoft. This app is used for sketching painting and illustrating. From our biased Industrial Design opinion, we love their interface as well as their realistic, built in digital Copic Marker Library!
