At the risk of sounding like a talented pixel pusher (I'm nowhere near able to make a passable drawing), these are really awesome drawing apps.

With a hint of skepticism, it would be very interesting to see what Apple has in store for them. I do miss Aperture.

Please don't go down the extreme subscription route as Adobe.
