Eraser Sketch is a fun twist on ordinary drawing apps.
Draw with erasers (instead of paint) to remove the fill color and reveal the background patten underneath. Change background patterns to change the pattern revealed when you erase, just as you would change paint colors.
You can also draw with paint in the app too, and there are 35 paint colors. If you select a paint color the same as the fill color, think of it as an eraser in a regular drawing app.
To begin, select a fill color and a background then press the start button to begin your drawing!
To change the fill color:
On the main menu, press the "Change Fill Color" button, then select the color you want. If you do not want to use a fill color, then press the "None" button.
Note - Fill color cannot be changed without exiting to the main menu and starting a new drawing.
To change the background:
On the main menu, press the "Change Background" button, then select the background you want.
To use a photo as your background pattern, press the "Photos" button, then select the photo you want.
To begin drawing:
Press the "Start!" button.
Once the start button is pressed, the drawing area appears.
Move your finger where you want to erase and paint.
Paint Mode & Erase Mode:
The drawing area begins with eraser mode on. To switch to paint mode, press the "Paint" button. To switch back to eraser mode, press the "Erase" button.
To hide the buttons on the screen:
Press the "Hide" button. To show them again, press the "Show" button.

To change the eraser size:
