Kidz Fun Art is not just for colouring, it also has a powerful sketching tool that allows you to sketch anything you like. Whether you want to copy a drawing or start from a blank page, Kidz Fun Art has you covered.

See how it's done

Here is the Product Manager of Kidz Fun Art, my then 7 year old daughter, demonstrating how to use the sketching features in Kidz Fun Art. In this video, she shows how to sketch by copying a drawing.

Of course it's also possible to sketch from a blank page, and here she shows how to do that by sketching a cute bunny from scratch.

What sketching features does Kidz Fun Art have?

For simply drawing with colours, Kidz Fun Art starts little artists off with a simple marker tool, but it also provides many different brushes and tools that are easy for kids to sketch with. Some examples of the sketching tools available are:

• Marker: The simplest drawing tool, use the pen to draw with a solid colour, or with pretty rainbow colours.
• Pencil: A simple pencil tool that allows you to sketch with a pencil-like effect. If your tablet's pen supports pressure sensitivity, you can create lighter or darker lines by pressing harder or softer.
• Crayon: A crayon that allows you to create a more textured effect in different sizes
• Fountain Pen: A fountain pen that allows you to create a more elegant effect, with the width of the line changing based on how hard you press the pen.
• Highlighter: A semi-transparent marker that allows you to create beautiful effects, layering colours on top of each other.
• Straight Line: A tool that allows you to draw straight lines, perfect for creating geometric shapes or straight edges.
• Ellipses & Circles: A tool that allows you to draw perfect circles and ellipses, great for creating round shapes.

Let's get a bit crazy!

Of course, there's more to making art than just sketching with a pen or pencil! When your little artist is ready add some bling to their drawings, there's a lot of fun tools to play with, such as:

• Solid Fill: Fill in large areas with a solid colour, one tap and you're done!
• Gradient Fill: Fill in large areas with a gradient. You can even design yourown gradients with the gradient editor, and choose the direction of the gradient.
• Stars: Fill in areas with pretty stars, or draw stars anywhere you like.
• Sand: With it's unique physics engine, drop sand of any colour, or a range of colours, anywhere you like. The app uses physics to make the sand fall and settle around your drawing, creating a really unique effect.
• Water Balloon: Another fun physics tool that allows you to throw water balloons at your drawing, creating a splash effect. You can even choose the colour of the water.
• Bubbles: Blow bubbles of any colour, or a range of colours, anywhere you like. The bubbles all push against each other, and you can pop them to create a really unique effect.
• Mirror: A tool that allows you to create symmetrical drawings by mirroring your strokes across a line or point. You can move the mirror line around and make it horizontal or vertical.

So, what will you sketch today?
