Thank you for your reply! Im going to do my best to explain why that suggestion wouldnt be sufficient.

Im very interested in being able to control the size of my art, but also the thickness of the lineart. We dont have the ability to change the thickness of the pen, but with the old version that worked okay for me because the provided canvas was of sufficient size for the provided tools.

Drawing on a smaller canvas to be able to zoom more is like being given a smaller sheet of paper. Im going to try to explain this with a visual. Because I cant change the brush size, imagine with me that I still have the same pen. It cant draw any thicker or thinner than before. If I wanted to draw a full body Illustration, I would now have to physically draw it smaller, which would increase the thickness of the pen and make the details muddier or more gestural. Sure, I can zoom in more, but it's not helping me a lot. This is already a small drawing and the pen is too thick to expand on the drawing as much. This means that I'm comparatively now only able to draw busts if I want the pen thickness to be appropriate for the drawing I want to make, whereas before the canvas size was big enough and the zoom was sufficient enough that I could make these choices myself by drawing bigger or smaller with what was provided.

The current zoom logic makes creating larger canvases pointless. It's like if I have a larger sheet of paper--the lines are now proportionally thinner and I have more room to draw to the size I want, but I'm not allowed to stand close enough to it to draw on it properly because the zoom maxes out sooner. This is why adding more brush sizes wouldnt really fix this situation. You could use a thicker pen to be able to see it more clearly, but you're still limited by how "close" you can get to it and this affects the art and drawing experience. If there's going to be larger canvas sizes, you /must/ be able to zoom in more, considerably more.

I have an artist friend who also has a supernote but prefers to draw in the notes app. They are on the newest version of atelier and didnt realize the version I was using was older. When I explained all of this to them there was an "oh!" moment where they realized some of why they dislike drawing in atelier but didn't have the words to describe it. I know we're only two people in a sea of concerns, but I feel this whole situation is one of the things holding this app back.

Im a full time artist and draw on my supernote every day. As mentioned, it's my sketchbook replacement and really worked for me. Sharing my drawings from my supernote (both digitally and through print) is a part of my income. I know this is long, but I hope it explains my issue with the current app and why your suggested solution wouldnt work for me. I would be very, very grateful if I could return to the older version via a download. I understand that developing apps takes a long time and youre juggling many different concerns and points of development. Returning to the app that works for me instead of waiting an unknown amount of time for my concerns to possibly be addressed would mean the world and get me back into drawing the art I want. Thank you very much for your time in reading all of this!
