Kyle is a pro, but he made painting and sketching on an iPhone display look just as intuitive as an iPad canvas. In practice, this means that you can effectively paint with textures and materials, like the bark on a tree. Using the Adobe Capture app on your iPhone or iPad, you can turn photos into organic brushes that work in Fresco. Capture Ribbon brushes are even more powerful. You can create natural blends between colors by using built-in brushes or any Photoshop brush in your Creative Cloud library. Smudge brushes work like their name implies.

Kyle showed me two new exciting tools artists will love: Smudge brushes and Capture Ribbon brushes. Design Evangelist at Adobe, Fresco on the iPhone is all about the brushes. Some of these features are available on the iPhone now, and what’s missing is promised to arrive by early 2021.įor Kyle Webster, Illustrator and Sr. There’s now support for thousands of Adobe Fonts, 4K time-lapses, pressure curves, live-streaming, client feedback, multiple layer transformations, and much more. Alongside its initial release on iPhone, Fresco 2.0 is a major update for existing iPad artists as well. Starting today, there’ll be even more to pick up.

The vision is for artists to move seamlessly from one surface to the next and pick up right where they left off. The same engine and cloud document libraries power both experiences.īryan O’Neil Hughes, Director of Product Management at Adobe, tells me that this consistency matters because Adobe sees Fresco as not just an app, but an entire drawing and painting ecosystem. Adobe hasn’t created a watered-down port of its iPad app. I talked with Adobe and an artist beta testing Fresco on the iPhone to learn why they think big ideas can come from a smaller screen.Įverything you love about Adobe Fresco on the iPad - photorealistic live brushes, vector, and Photoshop brushes, cloud documents, and much more - is now possible on your iPhone. The app is available for free today as Adobe MAX 2020 kicks off online with sessions streamed to artists around the world. Adobe is bringing Fresco, its life-like drawing and painting app, to the iPhone.
