Features & Capabilities

Tayasui Sketches is a mobile drawing studio that brings a realistic toolbox to your fingertips. With 20+ ultra-real brushes, watercolor options, a Brush Editor, color eyedropper, and robust layers, you can create sketches, paintings, and illustrations that feel like traditional media. The brush behavior responds to pressure, angle, and tilt, while a clean Zen UI keeps tools off the canvas for an uncluttered work surface. Apple Pencil support enhances precision and expression.

Key features include photo import, PSD layered export/import, cloud sync across devices, pattern creation, folders for organization, and pressure-sensitive stylus support. The app offers a Pro Bundle IAP and ongoing subscription options for premium features, with clear terms of use available for reference.

User Reviews

Overall, Sketches is praised for its clean, intuitive UI and strong drawing tools, especially layers, brushes, and color options, plus good Apple Pencil support. The biggest recurring complaints are the shift from a one-time purchase to a costly subscription that locks many features and marks. Users also report data loss after updates and crashes, especially on older devices. Consequently, while the app remains capable for quick sketches, many longtime users are departing over price and stability concerns.
Pros
  • Intuitive, easy-to-learn UI.
  • Rich toolset with layers, a variety of brushes, and a solid color system.
  • Good Apple Pencil support for precise drawing.
Cons
  • Pricing: shifting from a one-time purchase to an expensive subscription that gates many features.
  • Free tier is very limited; many essential tools require payment.
  • Stability issues: crashes on older devices and after updates, sometimes causing loss of work.
  • Data/access issues: reports of missing or inaccessible existing work after subscription changes or updates.

It literally makes you pay just do make more than one drawing. Not exactly what I want for a graphic novel I am trying to make.
