drawingPaintbrush is top download for Mac on Softonic this week and even though that’s a bit of a surprise considering all the great programs you can find out there, it goes to show that drawing applications remain popular for Mac users. You can use them to sketch up things for work, as a fun tool for your kids or simply for your own enjoyment. We decided to select the top drawings applications on Mac and let you know what makes each one different from the other. Please let us know if there’s any one we missed or if in particular that you really like.
