-NOW A UNIVERSAL BINARY for iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch-

Sgraffito is an artistic technique that is traditionally applied to ceramics and plaster. Sgraffito usually involves scratching off a layer of paint on the ceramics or painting, revealing the colour.

This technique is the same as used by children in school, typically with oil based pastel and black paint. To anyone who has done this, Sgraffito replicates a similar experience.

Sgraffito for iPhone and iPod Touch allows you to draw/paint, and used properly, can create Sgraffito look-alikes. It also functions as a basic general multitouch drawing tool. It is targeted at people who want a simple painting tool for casual sketches etc.

The app allows colour and transparency selection with live preview, and variable brush width. These settings are easily changed by tapping the bottom right-hand corner once.

Shake to undo, or use the Clear Canvas button in the preferences page. Black, white and gray colour presets are also provided, and textures are available. A texture can be loaded with the its corresponding preview button, and when in use, sits behind the black screen to be 'scratched' away.

To save your drawing to the camera roll, just tap the camera export icon in the lower left corner of the canvas.

Sgraffito has loads of cool features, some include:
- Texture drawing
- native iOS4 multitasking
- Retina Display capable
- Universal Application
- TVOut mirroring on any iPad (1 or 2) running OS4.2 or higher
- Awesome interface
- VoiceOver is fully supported.
- Supports 5 multi-touches on iPhone/iPod and up to 11 on iPad (at once).
