modeling

This digital sketch pen allows you to sketch with a real ballpoint pen on any paper. While you are drawing, all strokes are recorded electronically which can then be imported as raster or vector artwork in to your preferred graphics application for further editing. There is no need to scan and redraw your sketches. Even better, with just one button click you can record layers, for instance, to separate preparatory and final drawings. These layers are then retained after import.
