The Draw tool was a particular favorite. It was inspired by the squeeze brush pens common in Japan that are capable of both thick and thin lines—perfect for very expressive drawing. More importantly we flipped the common pattern by drawing a thin line when moving slow and thick when fast. Nobody was doing this. It was considered too “unrealistic”. But to us, it was a natural outcome of designing tools as an activity for thinking and not a simulation of a real brush. When you draw, you move fast for bold strokes and slow for details. Our Draw tool mapped directly to those needs. You’ll find some version of this brush in most drawing apps today including Apple’s own PencilKit.
