Fourteen new brushes, a rebuilt Korean, and every character Japanese and Chinese use. NEW BRUSHES Rope, Loops, Spikes, Bubbles, Chain, Bristle, Felt tip, Crayon, Brush pen, Art, Arrow, Knot, Ladder and Stitch. The arrow draws six different heads — triangle, barbed, open, diamond, round or a crossbar. KOREAN, REBUILT Draw 56 pieces and all 11,172 syllables compose themselves. Or draw the blocks by hand: 2,350 of them, most used first, in sets of 200. Longer preview text makes it easy to spot a block worth redrawing. JAPANESE AND CHINESE The kanji and hanzi of each national standard — 3,336 for Japanese, 4,220 simplified, 6,040 traditional — in sets of 200, most used first. TRACING FONTS BY SCRIPT The ghost picker now sorts your fonts by what they can actually write, and keeps previewing the one you're on while you scroll. YOUR DRAWING YEAR Your profile keeps a map of every day you drew, so a streak is something you can see. ALSO FIXED The eraser no longer brings erased ink back. Brush sliders respond immediately. The app opens straight away instead of waiting on a white screen.
