Hello,

How can we add a texture that follows the shape of the stroke in PencilKit, or change how the ink looks?

there’s a lot of creative ideas to use PencilKit but we can’t do them with the default inks

The rendering engine of PencilKit only supports the built-in inks (pencil, pen, marker).

However since PKDrawing exposes access to the underlying stroke and point data, it is possible to build a custom rendering engine that draws strokes using any style or texture, using Metal or other rendering technologies. For details, check out the "Inspect, modify, and construct PencilKit drawings" session.
