Inside the app
From Library to Scriptorium.
A scribe’s journey begins in the Library. Browse the collection and choose a folio that catches your imagination. Carry it into the Scriptorium, where color, detail, and touches of gold make it entirely your own.
Begin with line art
Start with a page waiting for color.
Preview the line art, turn through each folio, and choose the design you want to illuminate in the Scriptorium.
Color like a scribe
Keep the page at the center of your work.
Use brushes, gilding, ornaments, and layers while the artwork remains large enough for close, careful detail.
Make it yours
Finish a page worth returning to.
Save your progress, continue whenever inspiration returns, and keep the finished artwork as part of your own collection.
iPhone and iPad
Keep the Library close.
Illuminare adapts from a full iPad workspace to a focused iPhone Library, so the next page is always within reach.
