Bring your drawings to life with the ultimate digital flipbook.

Ratings & Reviews
This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
- Paint Fill tool has been improved so it doesn't spill colour over the boundary of the lasso area.
-reference photo panel
- asset library improvements (pinch to zoom, layer reordering)
- Improved the floating colour palette so it works the same as my other app Simple Sketchbook. This includes a custom colour selector and the ability to 'float' the colour selector as a panel over the canvas.
-Asset libraries are now project-specific (no previous library will be lost)
-asset libraries can now be exported and imported into different projects
-when you add an asset to the canvas it will automatically be selected to transform before being flattened to the canvas.
-Canvas rotation is back. You can now pinch to zoom and rotate the canvas.
