Bantam Tools Draw™ A Minimalist Vector Drawing App for Art Machines

By Zachary Hendel

Peekskill, NY — We are proud to announce the release of Bantam Tools Draw™, a minimalist vector drawing app for iPad designed specifically for artists, educators, technologists, and personalization pros who work with pen plotters and other Art Machines.


Bantam Tools Draw™ is a minimalist iPad drawing app that captures every stroke as a single, clean vector path, exactly what pen plotters need for precise, professional results. Unlike typical drawing apps built for blending, shading, or screen-only illustration, it is made for creating intentional, plotter-ready line work. Bantam Tools Draw™ empowers digital artists to create vector drawings that have a meditative hand-drawn feel. Bantam Tools Draw™ helps you create drawings with purpose and plot your physical drawings with precision with Bantam Tools Art Machines.


Key Features

  • Real-World Precision: Apple Pencil responsiveness with uniform vector lines in mm/in; no pressure or brush effects, just clean, accurate vector paths.
  • True-to-Scale Output: Work at real-world sizes with standard paper templates and export SVGs that plot with predictable dimensions.
  • Zoom, Rotate, and Position Canvas: Resolution-independent drawing where your pen size stays consistent, with paper guides visible at all zoom levels.
  • Creative Control: Adjustable line widths that match your pens for a true what-you-see-is-what-you-get experience, optional curve smoothing for cleaner results, and a distraction-free minimalist interface.
  • Plotter-Ready Exports: SVG’s that are formatted and ready to be used in Bantam Tools Studio, SVG Player, or the NextDraw Inkscape Extension (using the NextDraw Layer Control Syntax).

“Bantam Tools Draw reconnects digital artists with the meditative feel of drawing by hand, while making it effortless to go from iPad sketch to plotted artwork,” said Bre Pettis, CEO of Bantam Tools. “Bantam Tools Draw is a digital version of the paper sketchbook that artists will use to create hand drawn drawings that are plotter-ready.”
