Draw with Apple Pencil on iPad

On supported models, you can use Apple Pencil (sold separately) to draw a sketch, mark up a photo, sign a document, and more. See:

Compared to using your finger, Apple Pencil gives you extra control as you draw. For example, you can tilt or press with Apple Pencil to shade or darken a line.

Shade or darken a line with Apple Pencil

When you draw or sketch, tilt your Apple Pencil to shade a line, and press more firmly to darken the line.

Double-tap to switch tools with Apple Pencil (2nd generation)

When you’re working in a supported app, such as Notes, double-tap the lower section of Apple Pencil (2nd generation) to quickly switch back to the tool you used last.

For example, you can switch from the marker back to the eraser.

To change your settings for double tap, go to Settings > Apple Pencil.
