New comic
An album, its pages and panels. Pick a format and a layout, draw each panel in the studio, and watch the album fill up.

Two ways to draw
A comic, or just a sheet
New drawing
Whole sheets at the size you want: A4, 4K screen, square post, or any size in pixels or millimetres. No panels, no margins.
The studio
An artist's tools, nothing more
Everything a page needs is at hand; the rest steps aside while you draw.
81 brushes
Pens, nibs, graded pencils, charcoal, watercolour, gouache, airbrush: every stroke keeps its texture.
Layers
Pencils, inks, tones and colours kept apart, with groups, clipping masks and blend modes.
Comic effects
Focus and speed lines across the whole panel, drawn with the brush in hand.
Rulers and templates
Straight and ellipse rulers, symmetry, perspective grids, figures and scenes to ink over.
Reference picture
A photo or a model in a floating window, beside the sheet.
Pages and panels
Nine ready layouts, diagonal cuts, bleed and manga reading order.
Export
PNG, JPEG, TIFF, layered PSD, PDF for the printer and CBZ for comic readers.
Six studio styles
Drawing board, ink, tone or balloon, seven accent colours and a dark mode.
At night too
A dark mode made for long sessions
The interface goes dark, the sheet keeps its paper: your colours stay true. And when you close zkDraw, the owl tidies the studio.
