hello! i recently got an iphone with 3d touch and of course i tried out apps to use it for drawing...
turns out art studio is my favourite art application even on a tiny screen.

a few suggestions....  a dedicated eraser button or a eraser/brush toggle button! right now i have to press the tool button, then press eraser. this is quite annoying if you erase a lot.

also..
a quicker way to pick colors, as the only way is from a full-screen color picker that is annoying because i cant see my work as i pick a color to make sure it suits it... also having to press close is just unneccesary

a suggestion i have is to maybe have swatches like on ipad, OR having a slider on the side (see attached image) and pressing a button (like a little arrow by the slider) to add other sliders (saturation, lightness) to the screen that disappear once you tap away.
this way the full detailed color menu is still there, but you can quickly pick colors another way :)

another thing i would like is line constraints... making lines only on certain angles. there is a line tool, but theres no way currently to make sure it goes 90°. a UI suggestion i have is to have the line tool normally, and tap with another finger to 'activate' constrained lines of 45° angles, for example

another thing i wanted to mention was a quick menu, as navigating all the different options and filters on iphone is exhausting (id imagine especially if youre new to the app), but i believe youve mentioned its in the works, so THANK YOU!

another minor gripe i have is on iPad, i always accidentally press the clone brush button because in my mind the eraser should be next to it ^^;
if theres an ability to edit the toolbar, move things around or hide tools you dont use often, that would be cool but its not a huge deal.

thanks again for making an awesome app and continuing to work on it to make it even mroe awesome :) ❤️
