3. Paper by FiftyThree
Another one of our favorite apps for fashion illustration as well as taking notes is Paper by FiftyThree. This was, in fact, one of the first drawing apps with a pencil and is still a great option for fashion illustration. This free app can be used to write notes, and has auto-correction features incorporated. The paper by FiftyThree was crowned iPad App of the Year a few years back too. The app was later acquired by we transfer and the objective behind the paper was to help bring ideas to life with utmost simplicity.
