I even tried to use a larger canvas, and instead of it resolving the issue, lines still looked bad when I zoomed in, and the increased canvas size caused a bit of lag in the browser. Don’t get me wrong – you can absolutely use it to draw, but it’s not going to let you flow as freely as if you were to use something like Artflow Studio from Google Play or something. Obviously, Pixlr pen pressure was just released, so I’ll give it a pass here, so long as the developers continue to work out the kinks, but it’s just not quite there yet. It’s fine if you aren’t trying to zoom in and draw, but I find that I do this all the time, so it was just sort of weird that everything looked bad when I tried to take the same workflow as I do on my original software of choice.

There’s almost a “lazy pen” effect going on to stabilize it, allowing you to draw much more accurately, but if you zoom in, lines are still more rasterized or jagged than traditional applications like Photoshop. Now, regarding pen pressure, I tried it out on both Chrome OS and Windows, and I have to say, it’s much more stable on Chrome OS.

Yeah, I know, that’s awesome, right? We’re finally reaching a point in time where this sort of thing is possible without having to download or install any software. With that being said, the web app released a new video this week that showcases several new and exciting features – some of which are already available right now for you to try! What caught my eye the most was the fact that it was finally implementing touch and graphics tablet pen pressure right through the browser.
