Picotap

Picotap is a pixel art and animation app built for touch screens. Instead of drawing under your finger, you move a cursor from a trackpad-style swipe area below the canvas and place one pixel at a time, so your finger never covers the pixel you are placing. Animate up to 64 frames with onion skin and up to 8 layers, then export GIF or APNG. It also has shapes, selection, reference images for tracing, palettes of 1 to 256 colors, and dither patterns. Nine hands-on lessons teach lines, shapes, and color, and a Daily Theme gives you a new subject with a sketch to trace. Free on iPhone, iPad, Android, and Mac; a one-time purchase removes ads. No account needed. 13 languages.
