drawsta

Trace, draw, get inspired.

Most drawing apps open to a blank page. drawsta opens to a wall of things worth loving — and lets you trace them until your own line shows up.

A feed built to make your hands itch

Street art and murals, modern illustration, Swiss typography, vintage ads, gig posters, skate and surf culture, patent drawings, Bauhaus. Everything in it is openly licensed or public domain, credited where the source provides it, and it is different every visit.

Tracing is how artists have always learned

Tap anything you like and it lands on your canvas as a ghosted trace layer. Follow the lines. When you have the shape, turn the ghost off and what is left is yours.

A real canvas underneath

Built for Apple Pencil: inks that behave like the tools they are, layers you can reorder and hide, an x-acto for cutting and moving your work, and a canvas you can rotate under your hand like a real sheet of paper.

Yours, and nobody else’s

Your work saves itself as you go, survives a crash, and syncs through your own private iCloud. There is no account required, no ads, and no tracking. It is free.

Coming soon to the App Store

drawsta is made for iPad and Apple Pencil.
