And you can erase via finger erase by selecting the Eraser in the Crayon Color Picker
Q: How do I add a shadow, pick its color?

A: Tap the Paintbrush for line settings and options. As you change the settings, you’ll see the preview of your finger brush at the top:

Turn off/on Shadow. Choose the shadow color

Line taper - leftmost = none, rightmost = very tapered - this can give a realistic brush stroke!

Line ends: rounded or square. Line dash off/on
You can get interesting effects with dash!

Transparency: from transparent to full coverage, great for overlaying colors lightly by reducing it.

Brush stroke (and eraser) width. In case of tapered lines, the maximum width.

Tap any button on the tool bar to dismiss panel:
Q: How can I do detailed painting?

A: “Pinch Out” to zoom in on your art. Up pops a small Panning window that lets you move around the drawing by tap and dragging the small box that shows where you are in your painting.

HINT: double tap the Panning window to go back to full scale of your painting

“Pinch In” to zoom back out.

Remember to set your brush width thinner to do detailed drawing at any zoomed in level!
Q: Can I make the background any color?

A: Sure can! Just bring up the Crayons and select a color and hold it for 2 seconds to set the background color of your painting.

HINT: Set it to white and your iPhone becomes a safety light at night to help you find the keyhole, and it’s safer than a lighter at a concert for showing your appreciation of the band!

To restore the black background quickly, choose “New” -> “Plain Background” from the Save menu

A: Any image that’s on the web can be instantly loaded into iGraffiti through iGraffiti’s web API:
