Bezier DrawPRO is a full-featured, professional, vector-based drawing app, using bicubic Bezier Paths. Its also a lot fun and easy to use. There are 43 creation tools, including the powerful Path (Pen) tool, PolyLinePath, and freehand BrushPath tool. The 40 preset graphic tools cover the full range of geometric presets with many subtype variations along with many innovative additional graphics. Paths can be combined, joined, and you can even perform Boolean Ops of 6 types on them. (Union, Subtract, Minus Front, Intersect, XOR, Divide)

Graphics can be center-scale pinched or rotated with finger gestures or more precisely with the Scale and Rotate popovers. You can also do directional scaling in 1 or 2 directions by dragging a knob. To move a graphic just drag it or use the Nudge Bar, which allows you to move all selected graphics in 1 pixel increments (or 1 grid-space if you have Snap to Grid turned on) in 1 or 2 directions simultaneously. For precision alignment and/or distribution of multiple graphics to each other or to the document, use the Align/Distribute popover.

Use the Layer Popover to quickly Show, Hide, Lock, Unlock, Select, Deselect and change the Z-order of graphics.

Cut, Copy, Paste, and Duplicate, and Select All, of course.

The Gradient Maker is best in class. It features unlimited colors, color reversal, auto distribution, drag-positioning, global alpha, and repeat mode up to 20x. The gradient of a graphic can be blended with its underlying fill color, both of which have 28 blending options.

The Color Palette features RGBA and HSB color bars, along with a color ring with automatic complimentary colors, and a color swatch library. Both Fill and Stroke Colors support all 28 blend modes. The document has a Canvas (background) color.

The Arrow Maker is a unique and revolutionary way to create symmetrical arrows that can be standalone or applied to both ends of a shaft thats straight or curved. You really have to just try this one out.

Styles representing a collection of properties can be created and stored in the Style Library for easy access and reuse.

There are Libraries for Documents, Graphics, and Gradients. Documents can be exported as JPEG images to the Photos app or emailed as JPEG, PDF, or as a text string consisting of the iOS or Cocoa code to reproduce the Bezier Paths.

Text can be drawn in a box, inside a Speech Balloon (7 types with lots of options) or around a circle or semi-circle. Text can have transparent shadows with color, be outlined or underlined, and can be converted to paths for direct editing of points. You can horizontally and vertically align the text. Draw it in 1, 2 or 3 columns and adjust all 4 margins individually.

Finally there is a really cool tool for drawing an impossible object called the Penrose Tribar tool. One More Thing… Tesselate a path into a puzzle-piece thats symmetrical on all four sides, so you can create a pattern from it.
