A deep well of brushes
Create unique textures with jagged, dot, square, and linear brushes for an endless variety of patterns.

03
Colors that move
Dynamic palettes — rainbow, fire, ice, and light — that shift hue and temperature as the stroke travels.
-
04
Snap-to-grid modes
Tiled, woven, and geometric grids that align each mark to a lattice, for patterns that feel almost engineered.
-
