The pipeline

Where Draw sits in the production flow.

The world-beating browser-based drawing engine. Draw sits between the AI Artist (generated frames) and the Storyboard Editor (composed deck) - finished frames flow downstream into Animate as a timed animatic, every brush stroke audit-trailed in the version history. Stick-figure blocking and finished painting both live in the same document.

Inside the app

Every shipped feature, fully wired.

Each block below maps a real shipped capability to the workflow it powers. No vapourware, no coming-soon.

A GPU canvas that runs in your browser

CanvasKit + Skia rendering at 60fps with full stylus pressure, tilt, and barrel rotation. Apple Pencil Pro squeeze + double-tap. Wacom + Huion + iPad + Surface all supported. No download, no install, no plugin - opens instantly with WebGL.

  • 60fps GPU canvas via CanvasKit / Skia
  • Full stylus pressure + tilt + barrel rotation
  • Apple Pencil Pro squeeze + double-tap
  • Wacom + Huion + iPad + Surface support
  • Zero install - open the URL, start drawing

A real brush engine in the browser

A stock library of ABR brushes covering ink, pencil, oils, watercolour, charcoal, airbrush, gouache, chalk, markers, bristle sets. The brush studio gives you the full settings stack - dual-brush, scattering, texture sampling, jitter, pressure curves per-channel, shape dynamics. Adobe .abr packs import with every parameter preserved.

  • Stock ABR brushes across ten medium categories
  • Brush studio with dual-brush + scattering + texture + jitter controls
  • Adobe .abr import - pressure curves + scattering + texture preserved
  • Per-channel pressure curves (size / opacity / flow / jitter)
  • Shape dynamics + texture sampling + dual-brush + colour jitter
  • Smoothing modes (5) + stabilization + post-stroke prediction

Build your own brushes - tip, texture, and trade them

Most browser drawing apps give you a fixed brush list. Draw lets you build the brush itself. The Custom Tip Painter is a pixel-level editor for painting your own brush tip - the exact stamp shape that rides the stroke - saved straight to your library. The Custom Texture Creator lets you draw or import your own paper grain and apply it to any brush. And every preset you tune exports in .sbcd, our own brush format, so you can back up, share, or trade complete brushes - tip, texture, dynamics and all - with another artist.

  • Custom Tip Painter - paint your own brush tip pixel by pixel, saved to your library
  • Custom Texture Creator - draw or import your own paper grain, applied to any brush
  • Brush studio - tune every setting on every brush (dynamics, scattering, dual-brush, jitter)
  • Edits to any brush save as your own per-user preset - they follow you across sessions
  • Trade complete presets in .sbcd - tip, texture, dynamics and all - export and import
  • Adobe .abr import - your favourite packs come with you, every parameter preserved

Per-brush grain textures

Grain textures ride with every brush. Pressure-sensitive response, integrated dual-brush + texture sampling, watercolour bloom - your stroke behaves the way the medium does, the way it should.

  • Per-brush grain textures with full ABR fidelity
  • Pressure-sensitive grain - the paper reads through the brush
  • Texture sampling integrates with dual-brush + watercolour bloom
  • Per-document texture choice + per-layer texture override
  • Texture scale + depth + brightness + contrast controls

Non-destructive layers, masks, adjustments

Photoshop-class layer stack - groups, masks, adjustment layers, 15+ blend modes, opacity + fill independent, clipping masks, alpha-lock, transform per-layer, smart-rasterise on flatten. Every change non-destructive, every layer undo-able, every history step restorable.

  • Group / mask / adjustment layer stack
  • 15+ blend modes (Normal, Multiply, Screen, Overlay, Soft-Light, etc.)
  • Opacity + Fill independent
  • Clipping masks + alpha-lock + per-layer transform
  • Adjustment layers - levels, curves, hue/sat, gradient map
  • Layer comp snapshots for A/B variants

Eraser engine that's first-class, not an afterthought

Soft, hard, textured, pressure-sensitive - every eraser uses the same brush pipeline as paint brushes, with full texture-modulated alpha removal. A textured charcoal eraser removes paint where the grain crosses; a soft round eraser feathers cleanly. Same engine, same expectations.

  • Soft / hard / textured / pressure-sensitive variants
  • Texture-modulated alpha removal (Skia DstOut composition)
  • Same stroke pipeline as paint brushes
  • Per-eraser brush settings inherited from paint brushes
  • Mask-mode eraser routes to the active mask, not the layer

From stick figure to finished painting in one document

Block in stick figures for quick previs, then refine the same document into a finished painting. Layers + groups keep the underlay separate from the final pass. Send the result to the Storyboard Editor with one click - scene linkage preserved.

  • Stick-figure blocking + finished painting in one file
  • Send to Storyboard Editor with one click
  • Send to Animate via the Files page chip
  • Per-frame transform (pan / zoom / rotate) persists
  • Version history snapshots every autosave
Sketch the frame

The desktop tool you love, in a tab.

It feels like the drawing app you already know, except it opens in a browser and already has your storyboard frame underneath. Bring your own brushes, or share a pack with the whole art department.

DollyAI™ in this app

AI commands wired into Draw.

A few of the 200+ DollyAI commands across the suite, here in Draw. Every one shows its credit cost before you commit, and every response is anchored in your real project - not a generic prompt.

Style-locked frame fill

25 cr

Lock a Mitchell or custom-artist style and let the AI fill any layer's contents in that voice. Uses the same style-lock as /artist.

Inpaint with brush mask

5 cr

Paint a mask with any brush, then describe what should fill it. The AI replaces only the masked region while keeping the rest of the frame intact.

Lasso → AI fill

5 cr

Lasso a region and describe the replacement - "add a window here", "remove the prop", "add weather".

Clean-up + flatten

2 cr

Remove noise, snap stray strokes, flatten the layer stack - useful before sending the frame to the editor.

Frequently asked

Common questions about Draw.

Does Draw really run at 60fps in a browser?

Yes. CanvasKit + Skia handles the GPU rendering, with full stylus pressure, tilt, and barrel rotation at native frame rate. We've benchmarked it against the leading desktop and tablet drawing apps on current-generation hardware - the brush latency is within 4ms of the native apps.

Can I import my Adobe Photoshop .abr brush packs?

Yes. Drop the .abr file into Draw and every brush imports with every parameter preserved - pressure curves, scattering, dual-brush, texture sampling, shape dynamics, colour jitter. leading professional brush packs - your existing library carries over.

Does Draw work on an iPad with Apple Pencil?

Yes. Full Apple Pencil Pro support - pressure, tilt, barrel rotation, squeeze, double-tap. Same engine as desktop. Open the URL in Safari + Procreate-class brushes start working immediately.

Can I use the canvas for stick-figure blocking AND finished frames?

Yes. Layers + groups keep the underlay separate from the final pass. Block in stick figures for previs on a layer, refine the same document with a paint layer above. Send the finished frame to the Storyboard Editor with one click.

Does Draw integrate with the AI Artist?

Yes. Lock a Mitchell or custom-artist style in /artist and paint over the AI-generated frame in Draw with that style preserved. Inpaint masks built in Draw flow into the AI Artist's inpainting pipeline.

Is there an undo limit?

No fixed limit - every brush stroke is captured in the version history, and the document can be rolled back to any prior autosave. Skia's command-buffer architecture keeps the undo stack cheap.
