I don't always have paper handy, and since a lot of people use Lemmy on mobile it might help to have some recommendations linked in the sidebar.

Android, iOS, or both
FOSS or non-FOSS

On android I use FOSS Pocket Paint!

Fdroid: https://f-droid.org/packages/org.catrobat.paintroid/
Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.catrobat.paintroid

Edit: good post, I'll add a link to this post in the sidebar when I get home!

Edit2: added it to the sidebar. Hope we can get some people on iOS to give recommendations as well

Thanks :)

For iOS, I'll ask some friends and see what they recommend

Edit:

I got a recommendation for the built in notes app, using the draw feature

Holy crap, pocket paint is SO GOOD. I was using simple draw before, which didn't have the zoom window to see where you're drawing, or layers, or a good UI.

Absolute game changer.

I was also impressed by it!

In case you are interested, I found it in this list I use to find nice FOSS app recommendations: https://github.com/Psyhackological/AAA?tab=readme-ov-file#Introduction

On the FOSS Android side

https://github.com/SimpleMobileTools/Simple-Draw (no Fossify version yet from what I can tell)

I've been using FreePaint from F-Droid. Not sophisticated, but exactly what I was looking for.

I use ~a cracked version of~ IbisPaint, it's available in many platforms, but it's not FOSS. FreePaint (F-Droid) kind of works, but you need to have in mind that it doesn't opens saved drawings, sometimes it restarts, and if you JUST TOUCH the screen, it crashes.
