Tezhip: Gold Mandala Art

Tezhip is a studio for Ottoman illumination on your iPhone and iPad — and the first drawing app whose gold is real metal. Paint with a Tezhip brush and the stroke becomes gold leaf that catches the light as you tilt your device.

GOLD THAT SHINES

• Tezhip Gold brushes: halkâr brush, tahrir pen, shell gold, gold leaf, zerefşan dust, pearl beads, tığ rays and tarama hatching

• Gold Motifs, stamped along your stroke: rumi scroll, hatayi blossom, penç rosette, saz leaf, cloud band, zencerek chain, tulip and the şemse medallion

• Six finishes: burnished, shell gold, beaten leaf, hammered, aged leaf and zerefşan

• Yellow, red and green gold, white gold, silver and copper

• Gold layers are made for you: pick a gold brush and the stroke lands on a gilded layer, so your lapis ground is never turned to metal

MANDALA SYMMETRY

• Fold every stroke round a centre — 4, 8, 12, 16, up to 64 turns

• Mirrors, bands, tilings and spirals; a şemse takes minutes, not days

EBRU AND HAT

• Ebru brushes that marble real ink on water: ink drop, battal, leaf, comb, gel-git, nightingale's nest, tulip and more

• Hat: cut-reed pens for thuluth, naskh, diwani, kufic, riqa and ta'liq, plus the pointed pen and brush script

• Inking pens and ground fills for the design under the gold

WALLPAPERS

• iPhone and iPad wallpaper canvases at the exact Lock Screen size

• Save as a still, or as a shimmering Live Photo: the gold sweeps with light when your Lock Screen wakes

• Gold shimmer videos, 8K stills, PNG, HEIF and JPEG

A REAL STUDIO

• Layers, groups, masks and blend modes, unlimited undo and redo

• Apple Pencil pressure, tilt and hover, Dynamic Type and VoiceOver throughout

• Everything stays on your device
