Done in Artstudio 3.3 Beta

Yeah, current panels size is ok.

How many layers do you usually work on?

Grouping layers is a fast way to make lots of layers visible and invisible with one tap.

Speaking of current selection by swipes. It’s not the best realization: swipe right -> select, swipe right ->, swipe right -> select, etc. That’s really long time actions. I’d remove this 2 step action. Swipe right should lead to immediate selection/deselection.

Personally, I'm not keen to extremely precise drawing. But possibility to draw ellipse from center point can be quite useful on all sorts of wheels and similar things.

I tried to duplicate standard brush from mixer category. It was geometric mixer or dust mixer, don’t remember for sure which one. App froze. I restarted ipad. App was still frozen. I uninstalled beta and installed it again. When i tried to open several standard brush categories, app froze. For example rakes. Uninstalled and installed once again. Didn’t help.

Now I installed previous build and it seems it works ok.

I guess dragging is temporary. The best solution is after editing. All of these finger dragging are imprecise and hard to control.

I’d love to share but unfortunately I don’t have any pieces with it that aren’t under NDA right now. However, I found a nice example online. In this piece you can see the hatching technique with straight lines, and you can also see that there is variability in the line weight across strokes (especially in that cheek area under the eye on the right side of the image). I think this piece was done with an actual pen, but I’d love to be able to do this technique in Art Studio Pro, with pressure dynamics added to line mode.


There are many styles, you can find a lot of examples by searching for cross hatching. In my work, I love to use straight lines when hatching.


Btw, I saw that live preview for auto shape came into the beta! Very cool. It seems a bit laggy in this iteration, at least on my iPad Pro 2018. But very promising! Hope it gets super snappy in upcoming iterations!

Thanks.

On close lookup I see small curves on some lines. So it is not made with straight line tool in digital apps or with ruler and pen in traditional. But I see your point about convenient hatching.
