Drawing is better together
A professional drawing studio for illustrators, designers and anyone who draws seriously: Brush Studio, hundreds of layers, PSD and CMYK print output. And for beginners: a drawing teacher that watches along and games for the whole family. Made for tablets with a pen, like the Samsung Galaxy Tab with S Pen.
The drawing teacher shows you first, then it is your turn. Step by step, at your own pace. You always draw yourself. And the teacher comes with you: at home, at school and on the go, whenever you want to draw.
Pencil, ink, watercolour that really bleeds, oils, markers, charcoal and more. Bring your own Procreate brushes (.brush, .brushset) and Photoshop brushes (.abr): that gives you thousands.
Dual brush, custom shape and grain, pressure, tilt and speed, colour dynamics, fall-off, wet mixing and bristles that splay. Tilt learns how you hold your S Pen.
Animation from 1 to 60 frames per second with onion skin and hold frames; GIF, MP4 and animated PNG. Save and open PSD (with layers), TIFF and PDF; print-ready CMYK TIFF (FOGRA39) with a live soft proof on screen. Comics and books with multiple pages as one PDF.
Layers you are not using go to sleep, so your tablet no longer decides how many layers you may have, even on large canvases. Blend modes, masks, groups, locking, pinch to merge, alpha lock and clipping masks. A GPU painting engine that stays smooth, even with many layers.
Say what you want to draw and it makes a lesson with ghost lines and a step plan. It watches, gives tips and can talk. You always draw yourself.
Ruler, ellipse guide, symmetry, 1, 2 or 3-point perspective, and a predictive line that straightens wobbles.
Ball machine, a daily challenge with stars and rankings, challenges and online Guess the drawing with friends.
Friends on their own tablets drawing one picture, each on their own layer.
Your drawing big on the TV (Smart View or Chromecast), your phone or a browser as a second screen for reference, colours or watching along, and 2create on your Windows PC. One licence for all your devices.
Step-by-step lessons: animals, faces, people, caricatures and perspective.
Turn your drawing into a short film to share, with a sped-up replay of how you drew it.

Prices include VAT. In the Play Store app you pay through Google Play; on the site by card or iDEAL. What you buy is linked to your 2create account.
A new theme every month. Make your drawing in 2create, export it as an image and send it in here. The best drawing of the month wins a full year of all Plus features for free, drawing teacher included.
One winner per month, chosen by the 2create team. Your own work only, made in 2create. We only use your email to tell the winner they won, and it is deleted after the month. We only show your drawing if you tick the box above. If you are under 16, ask a parent first.
Short how-tos per topic. Tap a topic to open it.
Your drawings stay on your own tablet. The teacher's smart features use AI. It never draws for you, and your drawings are not used to train AI. Only when you ask for it does a small image go to our server; nothing is stored.
A first Windows version for pen laptops (like Surface and HP) is on its way. As soon as it is ready, you can download it above.
