Drawing · v10.1.0
Draw straight into
the viewport.
Pressure-tapered ribbons, a twelve-preset professional brush engine, and a real exposure sheet. 2D drawing that behaves like drawing — inside Maya.
Why artists use it
Built the way you actually draw.
Real ribbons, not hardware lines
Strokes render as camera-facing triangle strips, so width, pressure tapering, round caps and miter joins behave like a real brush instead of a one-pixel GL line.
A twelve-preset brush engine
Ink, pencil, marker and paint presets with a region eraser — ready to draw the moment the panel opens.
A working exposure sheet
The Animation Workspace is a real X-sheet in the footer. Hold, cycle and shift drawings the way a 2D animator expects.

FAQ
Grease Pencil Pro, answered.
Does it slow down in long sessions?
No. Stroke committal is batched, so the thousandth drawing of the day is as responsive as the first.
Can I annotate over a playblast?
Yes. Strokes stay locked to the frames you drew them on, so notes never drift.
Which versions of Maya are supported?
Maya 2022 through 2026 on Windows and Linux. The Qt shim handles PySide2 and PySide6 automatically, so one install covers every version.
