Could you build this?
Partial Basic canvas drawing can be vibe-coded, but building a competitive, low-latency native iPad drawing engine with Apple Pencil pressure sensitivity, custom brush shaders, and smooth multi-layer rendering requires specialized graphics programming.
What it would actually take: A production app requires Swift/SwiftUI with Metal or Core Graphics for ultra-low latency rendering and Apple Pencil tilt/pressure capture. The difficult part is developing high-performance brush dynamics, texture stamping, and efficient canvas memory tile caching that matches pro tools like Procreate. This demands graphics engineering expertise and performance tuning on iOS hardware.
