What you can do

  • Panels and grids

    Start from a layout or a free grid. Resize, slant and restyle every panel, and move the gutters.

  • Pens that feel right

    Pen, marker and pencil with tablet pressure, a stabiliser, mirror drawing and straight lines with Shift.

  • Smart selection and fills

    Select by colour, rectangle, ellipse or freehand. Fill, outline, crop or delete an area, with gradients, halftone patterns and transparency.

  • Shapes and action lines

    Lines with arrows, rectangles, stars, hexagons and more, plus focus lines and speed lines for action scenes.

  • Lettering and fonts

    Speech, thought, shout and caption bubbles with tails that follow the outline, free text and twelve typefaces.

  • Select, group, arrange

    Ctrl-click to select several objects, lock or group them, then align, flip, turn and scale.

  • Rulers, zoom and tips

    Rulers in cm, mm, inches or pixels, smooth zoom, undo and tips that follow what you are doing.

  • Print or publish

    Print a PDF, or publish the comic to the DevQuake art gallery as an issue people can read.
