✍️ New Feature Release: Pen Tool

Refine your storyboards with a freehand pen tool that captures the feel of hand-drawn lines. It’s perfect for sketching freely and adding a personal touch.

Pen Tool

  • Draw freely on the canvas.
  • Toggle drawing mode on by clicking the Pen icon in the toolbar.
  • The Selector tool has been introduced in the toolbar (cursor icon) to support non-drawing mode.

Pick Your Line Style & Colour

  • Choose from Pressure Pen (Natural Line), Solid, Dashed, or Dotted strokes.
  • Pressure Pen: Lines adjust based on your drawing speed, giving a hand-drawn, expressive look.
  • Select from a pre-defined colour palette or use the colour picker / hex code.
  • Use the input box to set the line width.
  • Change opacity with a slider.

Shortcuts updates

  • P for enabling Pen (drawing mode)
  • Use [ and ] or the arrow up/down keys to adjust stroke weight during drawing mode.
  • V is the shortcut for the Selector tool.
  • T was previously used for Thought Bubble, but is now the shortcut for Text.

We hope the Pen Tool helps bring your stories to life in even more expressive ways — and we can’t wait to see what you create with it.

🛠️ Available now for all users.
