With the availability of the recently announced Astute Graphics plugin for Adobe Illustrator, DrawScribe, drawing ever-nearer, it is time to introduce the second tool within the new product; Dynamic Sketch.
A few days ago, we introduced its counterpart, the InkScribe tool. Whereas InkScribe replaced the Pen tool and allows for the improved creation of precise vector paths, the Dynamic Sketch tool is all about drawing more naturally in Illustrator.

News doesn’t get much bigger for us. We are really excited to preview our all-new plugin DrawScribe for Adobe Illustrator in full for the first time! As each major plugin takes a long time to develop, polish and test, this event doesn’t come around very often for us.

Since the launch of Phantasm CS v2 last year, Astute Graphics adopted a commercial licensing system to protect its products, including the very popular VectorScribe plug-in.
Since then, we have come to recognise that the security measures excessively hindered genuine customers. Which is why over the past months, Astute Graphics has invested in a completely new licensing system tailored towards our customer requirements.
Everybody loves our products. The same couldn’t have been said for our old licensing system and licensing policy. Today, every new and existing customer of Phantasm CS v2 and VectorScribe benefit!
