Vector Drawing App for iPad Similar to Adobe Flash?

Question

Hello. I'm interested in using my iPad for drawing, but sadly I suck at drawing. However, I was able to draw pretty well in Adobe Flash Professional, I do a lot better when I can manipulate vector lines. I've looked around for vector drawing apps for the iPad, but I can't tell which one will give me what I want. I'm interested in drawing simple anime style comics/pics.

So question: Which iPad vector drawing app will give me an experience similar to drawing in Adobe Flash Professional (No animation, just drawing)?

More details:

- Money doesn't matter too much. I have $15 in my account for this.

- The more manipulating lines is like Flash the better. Selecting and moving lines, dragging the ends of them around, dragging the middle around to bend them. The ability to fix a line instead of undo/redraw is the main thing I want. Although I liked how smooth Flash made line manipulation, if a pen tool is all that's out there I'd live with that. Pen tool is a bit clunky to use IMO but it's better than undo/redraw.

- Filling areas to make "shapes" would be really nice, but not totally necessary. Same thing with using a selection tool to grab half of something to cut it in half.

- Shape tools don't matter at all. I'm interested in drawing anime style things, so a square tool isn't going to be helpful very often.

- Layers! I need them. Although, if overlapping lines didn't fuse them together like in Flash, I could probably live with a very small amount of layers. Line fusing when they crossed was the one thing I didn't like about Flash.

- I have an original iPad, but I'm not worried about performance. If I like the app but am limited by my hardware, it will just give me another reason to buy a new iPad. :3

hey, i saw your question. i am currently in the same boat as you. I want to create vector anime/manga pictures on my ipad :3



After A LOT of research i found 3 apps that SHOULD do the job:



Inkpad @ $AUS 8.49

iDraw @ $AUS 9.49

iDesign @ $AUS 5.49



I purchased Inkpad and had a play with it today and its great...so far.

I'm still learning about 'Vector' images but from what i could gather these 3 apps are the top for vector/ipad sketching.



I also downloaded 'Inkscape' on my PC and i was playing with that today as well. It's got this tool that can trace existing lines. Great for converting scanned or imported sketches.

I've seen some pretty awesome Vector images on Deviantart....which inspired me to learn how to draw them :D



Hope i helped :)
