The Draw popover, six presets, lasso and stylus settings.

The Draw popover

Every handwriting control lives in one anchored panel: tools, style presets, colours, six sizes, opacity, eraser mode, recently used combinations and stylus settings. Right-click the canvas to open it at the cursor.

Pen Presets

Six named writing styles:

  1. 01Marker — bold, high-contrast strokes
  2. 02Brush Pen — variable-width calligraphic strokes
  3. 03Pencil — medium-weight sketching
  4. 04Fine Pencil — thin, precise lines
  5. 05Highlighter — semi-transparent overlay
  6. 06Ballpoint — consistent thin strokes

Stroke Widths

Six width levels from Hairline to Marker. Select using the inline dot indicators in the toolbar.

Colors

Ten preset ink colors: Black, Dark Gray, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple, Pink, White. A custom color picker is also available.

Tools

  • Pen, Pencil, Highlighter — draw vector strokes
  • Eraser — remove strokes
  • Lasso — loop around strokes to select them, then duplicate, copy, cut, rotate or recolour

All strokes are vector-based and scale losslessly at any zoom level.
