Charcoal Studio

Charcoal Studio brings the feel of a real charcoal sketchbook to iPhone and iPad. Pick up a stick, lay down rich, grainy tone, then blend it into smooth gradients or lift it back out, the way you would on paper.

A FULL CHARCOAL KIT

• Charcoal Pencil: fine lines and crisp detail

• Vine Charcoal: soft, light marks for loose sketching

• Compressed Charcoal: dense, velvety blacks

• Charcoal Block: broad strokes for shading large areas

• White Charcoal: highlights on toned and dark paper

• Charcoal Powder: soft washes of tone

• Lasso: select, move and resize your strokes

BLEND AND LIFT LIKE THE REAL THING

• Blending Stump: push charcoal into the paper’s grain, soften hard edges and build smooth tonal transitions. It moves only charcoal, never the paper, so your darks stay rich.

• Kneaded Eraser: dab or drag to lift charcoal gently and add highlights. It follows the tooth of the paper, so lightened areas keep their natural texture.

• Eraser: clean removal whenever you need it.

MADE FOR APPLE PENCIL

• Pressure and tilt shape every mark

• Strokes are smoothed so blending and erasing follow your hand without jagged corners

• Double-tap or squeeze Apple Pencil to switch tools or show tool settings

• Draw with your finger too, or turn finger drawing off for Pencil-only work

PAPER WITH TOOTH

• Five papers: white, cream, toned gray, slate and black

• A real paper grain shows through every stroke

• Choose your canvas: portrait, landscape, square, or any custom size from 256 to 4096 pixels
