Brushes

Every brush feels
like the real thing.

Press lightly for a whisper of graphite, harder for a bold, dark line.

Watercolor pools and blooms, ink tapers, charcoal catches the grain of the paper.

Guides

Perfect symmetry.
True perspective.

Draw one side and watch the other appear, mirrored or turned around a center.

Vanishing points keep every line of a street or a room exactly in place.

Animation

Drawings
that move.

Draw frame by frame with faint copies of the frames around you as a guide.

Or give a finished drawing a path to follow, and let it sway, spin and grow.

Questions

Graphite, answered.

Anything else? We'd love to hear from you.

Get in touch

Yes. Graphite responds to pressure and tilt, so lines swell, taper and shade the way they would on paper. You can tune the response to your hand.
