In this month’s code-along we will create a drawing app with PencilKit.
What you’ll build
- A full-screen PencilKit canvas with the native tool palette
- A liquid-glass top toolbar (Undo/Redo, Tools, Background, Delete, Save Draft, Drafts, Share)
- Change canvas background color via the system color picker
- Share as image (composited over the chosen background)
- Save multiple editable drafts (drawing + background color) and reopen them with thumbnails
The app will look like this:
Step 0: Set up your project
