isoSketch is an odd drawing application. It is surprisingly full featured, but lacks one key element. Read more to find out what.
Isosketch is an isometrical drawing experience. Draw over a grid of triangles and get 3-D looking images. It’s simple, it’s easy, and it’s effective. And looks pretty cool, too.
Isosketch has all the features you could expect from a good drawing app: multiple files, SVG export, several layers, a full featured color picker, opacity adjusting. Two drawing tools: line (drawing the sides of the triangles in the grid) and fill and one erasing tool… a eraser.
Multiple levels of undo and redo. A tool array that can be hidden. Looks pretty complete… What I’m missing in isoSketch? Well, an easy one: refining the isometric mesh. I find it is too rough, selecting other meshes (I think) is a must-have feature. Maybe in a next version, after all, this is just a rough 1.0 And if the rough first version is that polished, version 2.0 may be extremely cool… But it’s been a year since the last update. You decide.
In short: isoSketch is an interesting drawing app for iPad. It lacks something, but it’s interesting nonetheless.
