Charcoal Studio brings the feel of a real charcoal sketchbook to iPhone and iPad. Pick up a stick, lay down rich, grainy tone, then blend it into smooth gradients or lift it back out, the way you would on paper. A FULL CHARCOAL KIT
 • Charcoal Pencil: fine lines and crisp detail
 • Vine Charcoal: soft, light marks for loose sketching
 • Compressed Charcoal: dense, velvety blacks
 • Charcoal Block: broad strokes for shading large areas
 • White Charcoal: highlights on toned and dark paper
 • Charcoal Powder: soft washes of tone
 • Lasso: select, move and resize your strokes BLEND AND LIFT LIKE THE REAL THING
 • Blending Stump: push charcoal into the paper’s grain, soften hard edges and build smooth tonal transitions. It moves only charcoal, never the paper, so your darks stay rich.
 • Kneaded Eraser: dab or drag to lift charcoal gently and add highlights. It follows the tooth of the paper, so lightened areas keep their natural texture.
 • Eraser: clean removal whenever you need it. MADE FOR APPLE PENCIL
 • Pressure and tilt shape every mark
 • Strokes are smoothed so blending and erasing follow your hand without jagged corners
 • Double-tap or squeeze Apple Pencil to switch tools or show tool settings
