One aspect which wasn’t immediately obvious to us, was what happens when you rotate the iPad: the tools and other parts of the interface rotate with it, but your drawing does not.

Once you’re in the app proper, you’ll find a toolbar down the side on the left, controls at the top, and panels down the right, pretty much like any Adobe app you’re used to.

Even better, you can save your custom format, to effortlessly reuse it for another project later on. There are a few pre-determined sizes based on your project’s destination (whether digital or print), or if that’s not to your liking, you’re free to input your own custom dimensions, and set your preferred units and resolution. The main part of that window focuses on choosing a canvas. This starts with the welcome screen, which offers you various options on the left-hand side, including Learn and Discover, leading you to a wealth of tutorials, and work created by other artists for inspiration. If you’re familiar with the Adobe line-up, you’ll feel right at home in Fresco as the interface looks incredibly familiar.

A familiar interface if you’re used to other Adobe products.
