Description

Overwhelmed by the endless tools, options, and settings in today’s digital drawing apps?

Wish digital drawing felt more fun, light, and playful?

Meet Graintouch. It’s an iPad app with minimal everything: UI, colours, tools, options, settings. But maximum joy. It’s delightfully simple (and simply delightful) to use.

Think risograph for iPad. It’s rough and gritty and textured. Basically, full of analog character.

Make art that feels grainy, gradiented, and full of IRL analog imperfections—like it rolled right off the printing press.

In this course, I’ll walk you through:

  • Downloading and installing Graintouch

  • The tools, settings, and hidden gems inside the app

  • How the layers interact (spoiler: it’s magical)

  • Tips for getting that “printy” handmade look

  • Managing, saving, and sharing your documents

  • How to extract and play with the underlying SVG files

  • Loads of playful examples, tips, tricks, and inspiration

This course is perfect for illustrators, designers, and doodlers who want to break free from polished perfection—and an overwhelming amount of options found in most apps these days—and explore the beauty of imperfection.

Ready to rediscover the joy of digital art? And lean into the creative constraints that Graintouch offers us?

Take the course and start creating print-inspired digital art today.

Who this course is for:

  • Illustrators and artists tired of the overwhelming options, settings and tools in today’s digital drawing apps
  • Creatives looking for a light and fun app to express yourself with
  • Anyone wanting to create a risograph or screen-printed aesthetic using an iPad
