Try it: sketch an everyday object
Start with a cup on your desk. A few lines, a little color and a label are enough for a useful visual note.
Draw the outline
Choose the pen or pencil brush and a thin line. Sketch the rim, body and handle; use Undo to retry a line.
Add one color and a note
Pick a second color for an accent. Use the text tool for a short label, and Select to reposition it.
Keep a PNG copy
Use Download canvas when you are finished. The editable sketch remains in this browser for recovery; the PNG is your separate image copy.
Choose a brush that fits the sketch
Draw with a standard pen, marker, pencil, watercolor brush, or fountain pen effect. Adjust color and line width, then use the eraser, undo, and redo to correct rough marks without restarting.
Go beyond freehand drawing
Add text, rectangles, circles, or an image when the sketch needs labels and structure. Move, resize, and reorder objects, and pan or zoom when you need more room to work.
Draw with mouse, touch, or stylus
The sketchpad works with a mouse, trackpad, touch screen, and compatible stylus in a modern desktop, tablet, or mobile browser. No application installation is required.
Save only when the sketch is useful
