Draw in a Freeform board on iPad
In the Freeform app , sketch, draw a diagram, or jot a handwritten note with Apple Pencil (on supported models) or your finger.

Draw in a board
Create or open a board, tap
, then draw with your finger or Apple Pencil.
If you’re using Apple Pencil and want to be able to switch to draw with your finger, tap
in the drawing tools, then turn on Draw with Finger.
Tap a tool to switch to it, then tap it a second time to see if there are additional options, like stroke size (line thickness) or transparency. These two tools behave differently:
(next to the pen): Transforms your handwriting to typed text as you write with Apple Pencil. To learn more about writing on boards with Apple Pencil, see Enter text with Scribble on iPad.
Fill: With the Fill tool (the paint tube) selected, tap any closed shapes to fill them with color. Or draw to create a filled shape.

Note: By default, Apple Pencil works as a drawing and writing tool in Freeform. You can change this setting if you also want to use Apple Pencil to select and scroll.

When you finish drawing, your strokes are grouped. If you want to break a drawing apart, you can regroup your strokes, or separate, delete, or resize them.
