The innovation of iPad-as-a-trackpad
The iPad-as-a-Trackpad feature by Drawing Desk is a game changer, allowing artists to transform their iPad into a high-precision trackpad. This advancement offers an unprecedented level of control and accuracy, making it easier than ever to create detailed, professional artworks on a larger canvas.

Undo: A quick two-finger tap lets you instantly reverse your actions.
