Add a pencil tool
Add a pencil tool that acts and looks like a real pencil (compatible with all the capabilities of the Apple Pencil).

I would love for GoodNotes to include a brush that mimics the texture of pencil on paper! Right now we only have pen like brushes, which is great. However, I feel like this additional feature could really step up GoodNotes game! The only app that I've found using a pencil-like brush is Apple Notes (not considering Procreate, since it's designed mainly for illustration, not taking notes).
Could you pleeeease consider including a pencil-textured brush? Pleeease?
Thank you so much!

Could not agree more. I purchased GoodNotes 5 and still find myself using Notes instead for this one reason...!

I can't believe this has been opened for more than 4 years now.
Please include this feature. None of the Pen options in GoodNotes are as natural as the Pencil tool in Notes app. -

Add a pencil feature like in Apple notes or a rainbow pen like in One Note.

SO IMPORTANT!!!! the pencil option is the ONLY thing I'm missing. It should be like the apple note app! Then I won't have to use any other app any more!

similar to the one available in Apple’s notes app :)
i think it would bring GOODNOTE more analogically mood. -

One reason I keep going back to the apple note app is for the graphite pencil option. It makes my notes look more organic, which I really enjoy. I love GoodNotes for all of its other features, but this has been a request since 2016, basically for 5 years now and there still is no graphite pencil.

It would be amazing if GoodNotes are able to introduce a graphite pencil, it will be so helpful for drawing sketches in my notes. Have been using Good Notes for 2 years and the only thing missing is a pencil. that would make it the best notes app in the business.

If GoodNotes had a pencil, similar to what's available in Apple Notes, it would cement GoodNotes as the clear winner in this space. As it stands write now, I bounce around between apps, because nothing looks as good or feels as natural as the graphite pencil in Apple Notes.

I’d really like the ability to shade like a pencil does! It’s hard to add depth to my sketches, holding back my productivity because it takes longer for me to sketch things.

Exactly! That is one feature I miss from Apple Notes - the pens are nice, but a pencil is something I use in my non-digital notes so often - for comments, sketches, graphs... I am surprised why so little people voted this idea!

Cannot possibly agree more. I often switch away from GoodNotes to other apps to sketch ideas, then I grab them an paste them into GoodNotes. 😖
Please, please, please include a pencil for sketching. This would make one of my favorite apps even better.

Totally agree!! Please can you consider adding a texturize pencil? It would be totally perfect having great other pen types combined with the natural use of the application. After annotating my document on Book, this tool is really the first need for me.

Please consider this! Pencil "ink" feature makes a world of difference for both notes and sketches.

Absolutely agree. After switching from Apple Notes all pens in GoodNotes feel odd. Having same pencil tool as in Notes would be great because there it is simply fantastic and feels so natural.
