Could anyone recommend a good children's drawing app, for creating pictures and designs on the iPad? My severely autistic 17-year old son currently uses Microsoft PowerPoint to create pictures and designs on the computer, and he would now like to do the same thing using an iPad. Any advice would be gratefully received! Thanks.
iPad Pro Wi-Fi + Cellular, iOS 11.2.6

I have a few your son may like and fairly easy to learn.
Look at
Tayasui Sketches/Sketches Pro
Tayasui Memopad
ArtRage
Even might take a look at
ArtStudioPro
All Apple Pencil compatible
Good Luck to You & Your Son!
Drawing Desk, it’s a free app. Really fun + easy to use!
Thank you for your reply. I am sorry for not giving more information. My son has never used an Apple Pencil previously, although we have bought him one to use with his iPad Pro. He loves to draw 'cartoon-type' characters that he has created from his imagination, and he has an eye for great detail. He has created some wonderful designs on paper and (using PowerPoint) on the computer. He often inserts photographs downloaded from the Internet into his PowerPoint pictures. He taught himself how use to PowerPoint and uses functions that neither my wife nor I are aware of. He does use the 'Notes' app on the iPad Pro, and I'm just investigating whether there is anything else available that allows more elaborate pictures to be created, but is not excessively frustrating to use.
Thanks very much for your prompt reply. I'll give these apps a go.
You're very kind. Thanks very much!
Again, isn’t Drawing Desk a subscription model app, plus don’t you have to pay to get access to more drawing tools?
Nothing is ever really “free”.
I HATE subscription apps with a vengeance!
It's hard to recommend something like this without a little more info.
Does he use the Apple Pencil?
What is your son’s level of drawing proficiency?
It’s hard to recommend a drawing/painting/sketching app based on what little info you have given us about your son.
Are we talking about basic drawing/doodle apps for kids or drawing/sketching/paintings apps that have more tools and features?
The installed iOS Notes App has basic drawing/sketching tools with a limited color palette.
Sure.
I think I have a few in mind that I use that won’t be too bad for him to use.
I need a little time to look into this for you.
I will get back to you as soon as I can.
