InkScribe is a replacement to the Pen tool, which celebrates its 25th birthday this year.
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.

What is DrawScribe?
DrawScribe is an Illustrator CS3 to CS5.1 plugin for Mac OS 10.5+ and Windows XP/Vista/7 that contains two major vector artwork creation tools; InkScribe and Dynamic Sketch.
InkScribe is a replacement to the Pen tool, which celebrates its 25th birthday this year. The tool offers a smooth transition for experienced users to gain more freedom, power and time savings when meticulously drawing out shapes. But it’s also designed to help those new to Illustrator to concentrate on the creative process rather than which keypress to aim for.
The Dynamic Sketch tool is instantly inspirational when seen it action. At its most basic level, it’s a significant replacement for the Pencil tool. But in use, especially when coupled with a Wacom graphics tablet, it transforms Illustrator into a wonderful, natural and dynamic vector sketching tool.
When can I try or buy it?
We are currently finishing off the support documentation. We’ve been very privileged to have an army of wonderful beta testers who have been testing since September 2011! The software itself is now complete.
A full 14 day trial will be released along with the chance to buy DrawScribe from the beginning of March.

I am very impressed. VectorScribe and Phantasm CS are indispensable for me and this new plugin certainly will fit in my workflow as well. I’ve been using Illustrator for almost five years since Adobe killed Freehand and have never understood why Adobe focuses so much on fancy effects and forget about workflow, stability and professional tools. Thankfully Astute does.
I wish Astute developed its own professional standalone vector software.
Thanks for your kind feedback, Alexandre!
Please consider the Mac App Store!
Hi herve,
We have. But unfortunately, Apple won’t allow plugins to be sold on the store. The software sold there has to be full self-contained.
adobe should work for you guys! what the heck are they doing over there anyways, thanks for pushing for innovation and fluidity
I see Astute replacing just about every tool in Ilustrator in the near future. But taking the pen and pencil tool to another level is an achievement! I’ve been waiting for something like this for a really long time that’s compatible with a graphics tablet. This is one of the reasons why vector is the future, and would significantly improve my artistic output. Can’t wait to try it out.
This is Pretty cool
