FAQ

How is this sketch pad different from a regular drawing board?

This sketch pad is specifically designed for pencil sketching, simulating realistic pencil strokes at different hardness levels. Hard pencils (2H/H) produce light, thin lines for rough drafts; soft pencils (6B/8B) produce dark, bold strokes for shadows and depth.

Does it support touch screens and stylus pens?

Yes, fully supported. You can sketch with your finger or stylus on iPads, tablets, and touch-screen phones. Pressure is simulated based on stroke speed.

Can I export with a transparent background?

Yes. The downloaded PNG image has a transparent background, making it easy to overlay onto other images or designs.

Is my data uploaded to any server?

Absolutely not. All drawing operations are processed locally in your browser. No data is ever uploaded. Your sketch is automatically cleared when you close the page.

How do I create light-to-dark shading effects?

Switch between pencil hardness levels: use 2H for light outlines, HB/2B for mid-tones, and 6B/8B for the darkest shadows. You can also layer strokes with the same pencil to build up darkness.
