I highly recommend downloading Sketchbook, as it is completely free, has no ads, super easy to use, and has so many features. I draw with my finger, and I can still create art that looks good. Many apps only work well if you use an Apple Pencil. I feel that I discover something new about the app every other day, like how you can easily turn the brush you’re using into an eraser version of it, or create colour palettes, or change the tolerance of the fill feature so you can fill a specific colour even if the colours next to it are really similar. There are heaps of brushes, blenders, and erasers, and each one of those has advanced settings (which are also really easy to use) so you can make them exactly how you like.

I accidentally skipped the tutorial, but after a while of messing around with it, I have a pretty good idea of how everything works. It’s also really easy to work out what to do. It has no ads, no in app purchases, and doesn’t collect any of your data. This is, by far, the best free drawing app I’ve ever used. Purchase the Premium Bundle to unlock more. Purpose-built for sketching, the interface is clean and unobtrusive so you can focus on drawing.Layers with a full complement of blend modes deliver the flexibility to build up and explore drawings and color.Guides, rulers and stroke tools support precision when you need it.Brushes are highly customizable so you can create just the look you want.

A full complement of brush types: pencils markers, airbrushes, smear and more that look and feel just like their physical counterparts.
