iPastels Overview
What is iPastels? The app is a painting tool suitable for both experienced and novice artists. It offers a realistic pastel simulation with live-calculated brushes and strokes, and a variety of painting tools including soft pastels, oil pastels, pastel pencils, and smudge tool. The app also features realistic paper/canvas textures that interact in real-time with the strokes painted. Precise color blending is possible with smudge or cotton swab tools. The app allows changing control knobs in the toolbar while painting, and has an easy and quick to use color palette. Full-screen painting, zooming, panning, and rotating are supported. The app also has a seamless pattern editing mode, and is based on Metal with 128-bit color and floating-point arithmetic. It was developed entirely using Swift and supports dark mode, touch bar, wide color, multiple layers, and photo tracing mode (Pro feature).
1. When painting, especially with soft pastels, use Smudge or the Cotton Swab to blend and smoothen the colors right on the paper, as you would in real life.
2. When creating a new picture, a unique, non-repeating paper texture is generated that will interact in real-time with the live-calculated strokes you paint.
3. Painting tools include soft pastels, oil pastels, pastel pencils, smudge tool, and more.
4. With oil pastels, in addition to smudging, the blending is often done by the pastel sticks themselves (for best results, reduce the force or use a similar or lighter color).
5. All the control knobs in the toolbar can be changed and adjusted while you paint, by using the number keys (1, 2, 3...) on your keyboard.
6. You can also try out ideas and compositions before starting on a new painting in real life, or practise and refine your skills, all without the added cost of art supplies.
7. This unique feature lets you paint on the picture laid out as tiles next to each other.
8. On a trackpad, you can pinch to zoom, and use the rotation gesture to rotate the picture.
9. The app features live-calculated brushes and strokes, making a realistic pastel simulation possible.
10. You can remove the toolbar if you place the pointer on it and scroll toward the screen/window edge, or if you press the Tab key on your keyboard.
11. You can change the default-generated texture to something else, for example “Canvas”, which is especially well suited for oil pastels.
