I regularly like to make rough diagrams/plans by drawing on paper. As I have an iPad Pro with a stylus sitting next to me I have often thought there would be some benefits to being able to use a sketching diagram to:
- Stop losing/damaging paper sketches
- Easily undo mistakes
- Leverage things like copy and paste
- Infinite canvas
- Ability to zoom in and out
To this end I am trying: Concepts App • Infinite, Flexible Sketching
Starting with a SkillShare course Draw with Concepts app: Basic Digital Illustration for Beginners

- Projects -> Files
- Top right tools, customizable change tools
- Line thickness, Opacity, Smoothness (0 for pen tip)
- Color palette (make your own palette)
- Layers pallet (automatic will separate layers by tool, recommended)
- Coloring with pencil, drawing with pen easy with auto layers
- Duplicate layers, transparency, visibility etc.
- Tools + Brushes
